Ranger's Bargain Chapter 4

"Ok." Steph says as she leaves out his front door again.

Fortunately the Bargainer is still there, so she hops in the car again and asks the Bargainer to take her to her house.

"That sure was a short stop, Lady. Did you really listen to what the boss had to say? From my understanding of the situation, what he had to say, should have made you the happiest lady in the world."

"Yes, I listened to what he had to say and it would have made me the happiest lady in the world, if he hadn't already torn out my heart a while ago."

"The boss hurt your heart and you're still speaking to him? Wow. Usually when he hurts someone it's on purpose and he does it to drive them away."

"Have you had to comfort many of the ladies that the boss hurt?"

"No, not really. Most of the time the ladies just stop coming around after the boss has had words with them, if you know what I mean."

"You mean the ladies usually visit him at work and when he gets tired of them he tells them to stop coming around and you never see them again?"

"Yeah, something like that, but then I've never seen the boss behave the way he does around you either."

"Well that's something at least. That's my apartment building right there. Thanks for the ride."
