When There Is Nothing Left But Love

I couldn’t help but sigh. After looking at Armond, who was on the phone, I handed the bag to Nora and said, “Alright, I’ll go get it. Wait here for me.”

“Wow! Thank you, Scarlett.” A joyful smile spread across her face.

Armond spoke into the phone with a low grunt. “I’ve taken the goods and handed them over. Recently you…”

When he glanced back, he saw me and was taken aback. Then he quickly said into the phone, “I’ll talk to you later. I’m hanging up now.”

After that, he turned to me and asked, “What’s wrong?”

I was a little embarrassed. All this while I was staying at his place and being a burden to him. Right now, I was really pushing my luck by asking him to lend me some money.

After some thought, I said, “Mr. Murphy, can I borrow some money from you, please? My friends would like to buy some stuff to bring home to their family members.”

He was stunned for a moment, but he smiled and replied, “Sure.”

From his pocket, he whipped out a black card and said, “Here you go. There’s no credit limit.”

I looked at the card in his hand and felt a little confused. “That’s too much. All I need is just a few thousand. I…”
