"Give me another hour with the ring!" Lillian, who was without her mask, yelled as she tried to reach for the ring in the man's hand.
In just mere inches, she was almost in Marionette's arms. What did she do to deserve such terrible timing!?
The man stepped back, still keeping the ring tightly clutched in the centre of his palm. He then pushed his other hand out in a gesturing manner, "Another 1,000 Semis."
Lillian nodded instantly and went into his spatial ring in search of the money. However, that was when she realised that... She had already spent all the money she had brought with her!
"I-I don't have it in cash, but I can do pay using my phone!"
"I'm sorry, but we can't do that. Security reasons, which I'm sure you can understand."
Once the man figured that Lillian no longer had any money on her, he kicked her out and left her to sulk quietly as she made her way to the port.
And on the way, Lillian screamed internally with an agitated expression, 'CURSE YOU, LADY LUCK!'
