"Actually, I like the ocean too, except that it's so ever-changing that if there is nothing to suppress it, it will form monstrous waves and drown everything."
"Yeah." I moved away without a trace, avoiding him, "Mr. Jennings, I invited you just to make proper apologies with you this time. It is too difficult for us to complete the order in ten days. If you can give us more time, I will be grateful to you."
"Oh, how would you appreciate me?"
His eyes lingered greedily on me.
I exclaimed in my heart.
I didn't expect this old guy to refuse nobody.
He was actually interested in me after having dated so many beautiful women. I would not be afraid usually, but now there were only the two of us on the ship besides his cook. So, if he really wanted to do something, I would have to knock him out.
But then I would have offended him even more.
"Mr. Jennings, as long as you promise to give me time, when you come to TR in the future, I will treat you with hospitality."
