[Titanic + Comprehensive] Annie

"Baby, do you want to talk about things with me, or play for a while by yourself, and I will come to you later?"

This is the chess and card room on the ship, which is actually the entertainment hall, where all kinds of gambling props can be found.

Annie didn't want to come out with Carl, because tomorrow is the last safe day in the history of the Titanic, and she wanted to get ready as soon as possible.

But Mr. Capitalist doesn't want the little girl to stay alone in the cabin, so he must take her out to relax. This is really worrying Anne-although she promised to let go of her mind, she must first let her save her life How can she be at ease without some support? !However, she didn't want to be separated from Mr. Capitalist, but it seemed unreasonable to ask him to give up his business and accompany her in the cabin, =v= so she followed out in the end.

Annie sighed, and smiled at her lover, "I'll go shopping by myself first. Do you remember that you promised me to go back early?"

Karl helped the girl tighten the shawl, touched her cheeks, and after confirming that she was warm enough, he said to the girl with a smile: "Of course, we will go back right away after I finish talking, shall we?"

His girl tried very hard to calm herself down, but she was too young after all, and she had been protected at home without any major incidents, so she couldn't really let go of her psychological tension for a while.

The place where he interviewed people was the box of the entertainment hall on the ship. In addition to the dining table, the gaming table is actually a good place to talk about business. Sometimes it is not easy to talk about small details. It is quick and not hurtful to use dice to solve the problem. Less fussy.

It is also because of this that he brought Annie over to play. It is better to be in a crowded place and have something to play with than she is alone in the room thinking wildly. I hope these small games can make her temporarily forget her fear. As for After returning to the room, he always has other means to make the girl forget about these troubles.

"Well. Then go and do your work, I'll go over there and have a look." Annie compared a crowded table not far away.

When it was time to leave, Mr. Capitalist was a little hesitant, "How about I give you some more bargaining chips?" Only one thousand pounds seemed a little low?

Annie smiled and shook her head, "No need, I don't know much about these things, I'm not interested in giving money to others." She winked her long and curly eyelashes playfully at Carl, and said, "I I prefer to make money!"

"Okay, okay, let's go, don't be late, it's impolite." Annie pushed Carl, telling him to go to his own business, "Also, don't drink too much, I don't want to spend the night Can't even sleep and have to take care of drunks."

"Understood, little housekeeper." Carl pinched Annie's pretty nose, and finally left step by step.

Annie also knew that her mentality had to be adjusted. It was normal to be nervous, awed, and afraid of disasters and threats to her life.

She took a deep breath and encouraged herself, it's okay to relax here for a while, and there's still time to start preparing when she gets back, there's still more than a day left, she can't just stay in the cabin and be afraid.

Do everything you can do well, and the rest can only be left to God to judge.

"Annie!"

Annie thought as she walked, and when she raised her eyes and saw the young man surrounded by the crowd, she originally wanted to turn around and leave. Who knew that the blond boy would raise his head and see her by such a coincidence.

"Hi Jack."

Turning around helplessly, Annie sighed again and greeted her acquaintances.It was found that Rose was not nearby, but Miss Dalton was standing beside Jack. However, Anne believed that according to the protagonist's law, Rose should appear soon.

Since Rose's attitude was still not very friendly when she ran into Jack last time, Anne had some insight—it would be better for her not to meet Jack again.

Therefore, she just decided to leave quickly when she saw Jack at the first sight. In fact, she didn't even care about Jack being today's random task.

Yes, helping Jack Dawson is today's random task, but because Annie doesn't want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, she didn't want to accomplish this task at all, anyway, she won't encounter any real danger on the Titanic The big troubles of life - except the shipwreck.

Speaking of which, yesterday's random task was to help Mrs. Bucket. Thinking of how unkind that lady was to her, Annie also gave up contacting her.

I didn't expect that I couldn't even give up today, and the task targets were all delivered to my door!

Resigning herself to her fate, Annie stepped forward, and stopped at the front of the crowd still some distance away from the two of them. She nodded to the two of them, "Mary, and Jack, good evening."

Speaking of which, Jack Dawson is really capable. This entertainment hall is located in the first-class cabin, and non-first-class passengers cannot enter at all. I don’t know how he did it?

Moreover, now Jack is dressed like a gentleman in the upper class. Wearing a well-tailored and well-fitting suit on him has raised his unrestrained temperament of a wandering painter by several levels, and he has a handsome and unrestrained feeling of a nobleman. , the wind-like wandering traits in him and the smooth and humorous attitude honed by struggling to survive in the bottom society are so attractive to these young ladies who are bound by rules and regulations.

"I said, have you finished recounting the past?"

Annie shifted her eyes to the middle-aged bald man who spoke with an unfriendly attitude, and found that she also knew him. Karl had introduced him during the meal before, "Mr. Ralph, hello."

The tall, bald mustache Mr. who was a little impatient at first was stunned for a moment when Annie correctly said his name, and then he carefully checked the blond girl who arrived later, and found that he looked quite familiar.

"You...you are...Hockley's girlfriend?"

"Yes, Mr. Ralph's memory is really good, but my brother Robert seems to have business dealings with you, and I didn't expect to meet you on the boat." Annie slightly increased her weight during the conversation, so as to avoid this This man really despises himself when he is just a female companion brought by a man to show off.

Thanks to my brother who started to teach me how to deal with property some time ago, although it only took a week or two, fortunately Mr. Ralph just happened to hear Annie mention it.

Hearing this, Ralph really corrected his posture, and his eyes that were squinting down at Anne at a 45-degree angle were restrained, and he asked in the elongated tone of a nobleman: "Are you Robert's sister? Youngest sister?" the one from?"

Hearing Ralph's specially emphasized words, Anne slowly smiled, nodded and said: "Yes, I am Robert's sister, the youngest one!"

"Excuse me, what is the impoliteness of these two friends of mine?" After setting up the relationship, with a little friendship as the basis, we can enter the topic.

Robert said that when the other party is not friendly, first think about whether there is any relationship to pull it off. If there is a relationship but the matter is not serious, the other party will generally be willing to give some face and let the matter pass easily. If the matter is more serious, the relationship It is also easier for households to seek probation or a lighter sentence.

Evidently, what had happened had made Ralph quite angry, and he became angry when the subject was brought up, and the anger he had just subsided gradually rose again.

"That lady," Ralph pointed to Mary Dalton standing behind Jack, "broke my gilt and hollowed-out Turkish cup, which is an antique used by the royal family!"

The balding middle-aged man with the mustache is really distressed. He just bought this set of cups at an auction at a huge price. He used it for the first time today. He wanted to show off in his circle of friends. Who knew? Just as the servant delivered the things, he was knocked down by a reckless woman. The key is that the body of this cup is made of glass, so it can't withstand falling!

If it is an ordinary cup, it will fall if it is dropped. Ralph still has a special tolerance for beautiful ladies. The problem is that this set of cups is currently his favorite, and tonight he also took on the important task of helping him grow his face. Ralph is a person who pays special attention to face. At this time, even the first beauty, Queen Elizabeth, can't stop his anger!

Annie glanced at the fragments on the table, not to mention she hadn't noticed it, but after being compared by Mr. Ralph, she found that there was a set of transparent cups wrapped in gold wire on the gaming table between the two parties. Several cracked cups and some shards of glass.

Hopeless!

With just one glance, Annie knew that there was no other way but compensation!

Anne glanced at the servant who was in charge of bringing the tea set and was standing quietly aside, and then turned to look at Mary Dalton, who looked aggrieved, and wanted to hear what she had to say, who knew who would stand up first It was Jack.

"Sir, I'm sorry for breaking your things. We are willing to compensate, but I hope you can forgive us for some time."

Anne was a little dumbfounded. Didn't she say that the person who broke things was Mary Dalton?Jack, what do you mean by standing up and taking responsibility?Moreover, you admit that you are at fault before you know what happened, and now you don't want to pay compensation!

Mary Dalton was also a little stunned. I really didn't break the tea set by myself. It was the servant who couldn't hold it steady and took the opportunity to bump into himself and blamed her!And isn't Mr. Dawson a noble gentleman of great value?Shouldn't he wave his hand and say proudly: What is this?I pay it!

Give me some time?

What the hell? !

Jack, who was stared at by two women at the same time, felt chills down his spine, but at this moment he could only bite the bullet and said to Annie, who he knew and might lend a helping hand to him, "Annie, can you lend me some money?" ?"

He saw the whole process with his own eyes. After Mary bumped into the servant, her face turned pale with fright. Originally, he wanted to say that Mary was also a rich person, so he just stood in the crowd and watched the excitement. Who knew that this gentleman It seems that he does not intend to let Mary go, and Mary seems to be in a difficult situation. As a friend who knows Mary, he has to stand up, because he knows that these rich people will not be too aggressive towards those who offend and violate their own interests. Well, Mary looks so weak, someone needs to help her.

Annie recovered from her daze and asked, "Do you want me to help Mary repay the amount first?"

"No no no no!"

Unexpectedly, Jack denied Annie's conjecture.

"I just want to ask you to lend me a hundred pounds first." In fact, if possible, he only wants to borrow five or ten pounds, but this is a first-class entertainment hall, and it is impossible to gamble privately with third-class passengers The same ones come one penny and five pence each time.

"What do you want a hundred pounds for?" Anne had another thought in her mind, but she didn't really want to believe that Jack would choose to do this.

Jack rubbed his hands in embarrassment, and said, "I have quite a lot of experience with these small games, and I've been lucky recently. I want to see if I can earn back the compensation from this gentleman."

Annie almost fainted, "Have you ever thought that if you didn't make your money back at the gambling table, you would still owe me an extra hundred pounds?"

Apparently, Mr. Jack Dawson, who was in charge, really thought about it.

"I've thought about it." Jack smiled brightly and handsomely, "but I'm willing to choose the former between paying off the debt at once and owing an extra hundred pounds."

Hearing such an answer, Anne didn't know what to say anymore. She took out a token representing [-] pounds from the black velvet bag Karl gave her to hold the chips hanging in her hand. Before handing it to Jack, he earnestly hoped that he would change his mind.

"Jack, I hope you think about it again. The success rate of doing this is not high." Nine out of ten bets.

In fact, what she wants to say is: What does Miss Dalton's debt have to do with you?You take other people's debts onto yourself like this, does Rose know?

"Don't worry, I've thought about it carefully." Jack showed a sunny smile to Annie, and then he was about to walk to the gaming table, but unfortunately he didn't make it - Mary Dalton stopped him His sleeves!

"Mary?"

"Jack..." From the conversation just now, Mary realized that she seemed to have made a big mistake: this Mr. Dawson is not a son of a rich family at all!He might even be poorer than himself!

Jack mistook Mary's ugly face for worrying that he would lose money, so he comforted him, "Mary, don't worry, I borrowed the hundred pounds from a friend myself, and it won't be credited to you."

Oh!That's good!

Mary let go of her hand a little, and Jack took the opportunity to walk to the gaming table.

Then, Anne witnessed how the world takes care of the hero!

Although we win or lose, we win more than we lose - Jack really won the money back!

All the people involved breathed a sigh of relief, only Mr. Ralph was still a little dissatisfied.

"It's not wrong for you to compensate me for the loss, but there are still friends waiting to see my tea set, what should I do?" The point is to save face!face!

If they can't come up with something, they must say that they are bragging!If they took the broken things in, they would definitely make fun of themselves for not having anything to do with royal things!

Annie breathed a sigh of relief, okay, help people to the end, send Buddha to the West!

"This..." Anne pretended to be a little embarrassed, "I seem to have heard Karl say that he has a set of tea sets dedicated to the King of England by the Duke of Trothian in the [-]th century."

Ralph's eyes lit up when he heard that, "Then...?"

"But this tea set belongs to Karl, I can't make the decision." If I can make the decision, I don't want to give it to you for nothing.

Speaking of which, Ralph really likes antiques and tea sets. Of course it's best if he can get it. If he can't get it, he can have a look at it.

To be honest, he believed that Hockley really had the tea set that the lady mentioned, but if the lady took it out and lent it to him, sold it to him or gave it to him, he couldn't believe it.

"How about we go to Mr. Hockley now?"

"But, he's talking about business..."

Anne was about to continue to put on a show, when she saw the eyes of Mary Dalton standing directly opposite her brighten, and then her hands were held by another pair of warm and dry palms.

"Honey, I'm back."

Huh?Are you talking about business so soon?

Annie looked at Carl happily, "Can we go back?"

"Yes, but don't you want to stay here for a while longer?" The business was already negotiated, and the reason why they made an appointment here was because the other party wanted to take the opportunity to give him some benefits at the gaming table, so that things would be even better. It's just a matter of success. Losing some money, house and car here is just a matter of luck, which sounds much better than bribery. Therefore, if he doesn't want to deal with it, it will naturally be very fast.

"No, I want to go back." Annie pointed to Ralph who was in a hurry when she heard that they were leaving, and said to Carl: "By the way, Mr. Ralph's antique cup is broken, I told you He seems to have something on your side, and he wants to talk to you."

As for whether to borrow, sell or give away, it's up to you.

Annie winked at Carl, motioning for him to deal with it.

Carl thought of the white porcelain tea set inlaid with gold and painted, and Anne seemed to like it very much. He considered Ralph's character again, and smiled at him, "I don't know what Mr. Ralph means?"

Ralph looked left and right, and took the two of Carl to a corner where no one was there before waiting for Ai Ai to explain the situation.

"I made an appointment with my friends to play a few games here, and let them see my new tea set." Ralph was really anxious and blushed. "I don't dare to ask Mr. Hockley to give me something I love, but I don't know if I can lend it to my friends, and then...then...you bought it from me ?” After talking about it, Ralph himself felt a little embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, Carl laughed, "I don't think it's a big deal. Of course, there's nothing wrong with such a small thing. But, I was going to give this tea set as a gift, and I hope it can come back intact in the end."

Anne is obsessed with Carl's smile - she can't resist the charming smile of the brunette man!He didn't think too much about the "send away" he said, but Ralph seemed to see something from Carl's gentle smile and affectionate eyes.

"Of course, of course."

In this way, without spending any money, Mr. Hockley and the future Mrs. Hockley, who received Ralph's favor and gratitude, showed a satisfied smile, waved goodbye to Mr. Beard Mustache, and agreed to wait He immediately asked the servant to deliver the things to the box he had agreed with his friends.

"That...Annie..."

The footsteps that were about to leave were stopped by the cry behind him, oh!She forgot that there is a random task for today!

She gave Carl a wait-and-see look, and she turned to look at Jack with a smile: "Jack, is there anything else?"

I don't know why, but whenever Carl Hockley is around, Jack, who feels something is wrong, squeezes the chips in his hand repeatedly, takes a deep breath, and smiles at Anne: "You forgot? You just lent me I haven't paid you back your hundred pounds."

Just as he stretched out his hand to take the chips handed over by Jack, he heard a familiar voice of questioning.

"What are you doing?"

coming!

Annie has been waiting for this protagonist to appear for a long time, and it happens every time, haha.

"I didn't do anything. Jack just paid me back. I have something to do. I won't talk to you guys any more. Goodbye."

Not wanting to discuss any more matters with these people, Anne took Carl's arm and left the eventful place after speaking, Rose's voice could still be faintly heard from behind.

"Jack, who is she?"

After that, Annie couldn't hear and wasn't interested in listening to it anymore.

"Why are you with Dawson?"

Annie told Carl what happened, then pouted and said, "I didn't think about it at first, who would have thought that he would see me by such a coincidence!"

Carl kissed the little girl's pink lips, and said with a smile, "If you don't want to control it, then don't control it, and don't force yourself to do things you don't want to do."

The little lover only needs to live the life he wants to live, and he is there for the rest.
