Debra chimed in, "Marion owes you a lot of money?"

"Yeah. From the first time he met you, he..." Randy replied.

Erica swiftly stepped on his foot, silencing him mid-sentence. Randy grunted and corrected himself. "Well, it's nothing. Marion's got plenty of money. It's just that he hasn't finished handling it yet."

Erica elbowed him and spluttered, "What do you mean he hasn't finished handling it? Can you speak clearly?"

Randy clammed up. Erica sat down next to Debra, her voice softening.

"That is just man-to-man stuff. Don't worry about it. I'm sure he'll give you everything he has to win you over."

Debra blushed. "What are you talking about?"

"Er, it's just a metaphor," Erica chuckled, hugging her. "Anything, you're the best woman in my mind."

Debra fell silent, her mind wandering. She never wanted a fortune. After so many betrayals and schemes in her past and present lives, she only hoped to find her destined partner and live a peaceful life together. Without betrayal, conspiracy, or deceit, they would just live an ordinary life.
