Richard could not afford to stay in the town till the next day. He wanted to apologize to Gina for what he was about to say but he could not.
'Then you must lay with Gina. I reckon it is what you truly want as it is your first option.' Richard announced and did not look at Gina even once.
Gina's heart sank. She knew that was what betrayal felt like.
Before Gina could question Richard's decision, one of Ansley's workers entered the workroom.
'Tripp demands your presence sire. I have asked him to wait but he grows impatient.' The worker said.
Gina and Richard knew who Tripp was. The entire town knew him. He was the person everyone went to when they needed to borrow money.
Gina and Richard also knew he never visited people unless he wanted to collect what they owed him.
'I shall be with him in a moment. I must say my byes to my visitors.' Ansley looked at Gina and smiled.
