At this time, it was naturally impossible for Nucky to leave Atlantic City with great fanfare, so the next day, Nucky's backup driver stopped everyone who wanted to visit Nucky.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Nucky is ill and is recovering from his illness. It is not convenient to receive any guests!"

"Nucky is sick?"

Downey, who has been paying attention to Nucky, soon learned about this.

"Yes, this is the news released by the Ritz Hotel, and some people saw a doctor entering the Ritz Hotel. It seems that Nucky was indeed a little tired during the fight with the Brigadier!"

Robert said without paying much attention.

Downey showed a trace of doubt. Although he didn't understand Nucky's condition, Downey knew people like Nucky.

Although people like Nucky give him a headache when they have opponents, in fact they are definitely excited deep inside. A good opponent is even more exciting than a good friend.

.

Before the Brigadier was completely defeated, if he were Nucky, he would definitely not get sick at this time!

"What's going on over there, Brigadier?"

Donnie asked Robert.

Robert shook his head and smiled helplessly: "Then I have no way of knowing, but judging from the news coming back from the outside, the Brigadier did not do anything in Atlantic City, and his old friends did not even go there during this time.

His villa."

Downey sat there, tapping the table gently, and then asked: "If you were a brigadier general, and you have been planning to regain control of Atlantic City for a long time, would you choose to give up at this time?"

After Robert thought for a while, he said: "Impossible! Although Nucky has the upper hand now, if I were a brigadier general, I would not have given up so easily after investing so much energy in the early stage!"<

/p>

Downey nodded slightly, and then said: "In other words, there must be a confrontation between Nucky and the Brigadier that we don't know about!"

Robert nodded and said: "It should be like this."

But then, Robert said helplessly: "But the information we can know is too poor, and it is impossible to know the situation of their secret confrontation!"

Downey stood up and said to Robert: "I have some things to do and I'm going out for a while. You keep an eye on your home!"

"Okay!"

Robert nodded.

Downey walked out of the pub and went straight back to the West End.

Dennis, who was taken away by AJ, never came back, and Downey officially lived in Margaret's home.

"Why are you back so early today?"

Margaret took Donnie's coat and put it on the sofa.

"I need your help with something!" Downey sat on the sofa and pulled Margaret into his arms.

"If you have something to say, just say it!" Margaret said softly, enjoying Donnie's embrace.

Downey said: "There is a customer in your clothing store named Lucy Danziger, do you know her?"

Margaret just thought about it briefly and immediately replied: "I know her. She is a frequent visitor to our clothing store. She goes there every two or three days and brings back some clothes every time!"

Downey nodded. In fact, Downey himself knew these things, and Lucy Danziger was no ordinary person. She was Nucky's mistress and even moved to the Reitz Hotel to live with Nucky last year.

"This is where I need your help. I need you to invite her to the Fuli Tavern for a drink tonight!"

American women in this era have begun to change from conservative to open.

In the past, American women basically had long hair and long skirts that covered their ankles. They served the family at home every day, and at the same time had to deal with the fists of their husbands who could only harden after drinking.

But as women gained the right to vote and received more and more job opportunities, traditional women in the United States began to change.

They cut off their long hair and replaced it with ear-length short hair, and their long skirts could no longer cover their ankles and reached the calf level.

Not only the appearance changed, but also the behavior changed. They started to put on makeup, started smoking, and started going to pubs.

Of course, such women are still a minority in this era, but Lucy is definitely a leader among women in the new era.

If Lucy is the representative of women in the new era, then Margaret is the representative of women in the old era.

Now that he heard that Downey wanted to invite Lucy to the Folly Tavern for a drink, Lucy, who was sitting in Downey's arms, didn't know how to answer.

"The situation is different now. Haven't you guys, WCTU, been advocating women's independence? If you want to be independent, you should know what women in the new era think about. And I hope you can step out of the past life and welcome the new era.

life!"

Downey comforted Margaret.

Margaret had already regarded Downey as everything to her. Although she was still a little uneasy, she was used to obeying Downey's words.

"Okay, it's just that Lucy and I are not very familiar with each other. If I invite each other rashly, I'm worried that she will refuse!"

Downey smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I always have to try it!"

"Well, then I'll go to the clothing store now, I should be able to see her!"

After struggling in Donnie's arms, Margaret went to change clothes!

"By the way, if you can go, give me a call!"

"Okay!"

After Margaret left, Downey sat on the sofa and began to close his eyes and meditate. If Margaret could see Lucy, then it might be very big for the other party to agree to Margaret's invitation.

This is based on Downey's understanding of women like Lucy.

As Nucky's mistress, Lucy seems to have gained an identity in Atlantic City through Nucky's influence, but in fact such a woman is very empty inside.

Moreover, Downey also asked Robert to investigate Lucy. This woman was once a dancer in a strip club in Atlantic City, and her family is not from Atlantic City.

In other words, except for Nucky, she has no other connections in Atlantic City.

Those who usually flatter her and greet her with smiles are interested in Nucky behind her. If Nucky is not here, these people will not pay attention to her...except for those who covet her beauty.<

/p>

Therefore, a woman like Lucy needs a friend, a friend she can look down on and show off from time to time!

Time passed by minute by minute, until about five o'clock in the afternoon, the phone at home rang, and it was Margaret.

"Honey, I'm not going home for dinner tonight. I'm going to meet my new friend at the Fuli Tavern!"

"Okay!" Donnie smiled: "Remember to bring more money, and don't be stingy about buying your friends an extra drink when you get to the pub!"

"Got it!"

After Margaret hung up the phone, in Downey's mind, Nucky's illness became even more worthy of consideration. If Nucky was really sick, Margaret should be at the Reitz Hotel at this time.

Take good care of Nucky and show your presence.

Even if Nucky is not sick, Lucy should be by Nucky's side at night!

Downey was in a good mood. He cooked himself some food and had a drink. When the time came to eight o'clock in the evening, Downey picked up his coat, left here, and drove to the best place in Atlantic City.

The tavern is the gorgeous tavern!

This is Downey's first time coming to Fuli Tavern. As soon as he walked in, Downey felt the difference between this place and Block Tavern.

Although the entire Fuli Tavern is also divided into two floors, the upper and lower floors are not only filled with wine tables, but are also more than three times larger than the Bullock Tavern in area.

European-style decoration style, in the middle of the hall there is a staircase that can allow six or seven people to walk at the same time. On both sides of the staircase are white jade handrails. On both sides of the handrails are two hanging platforms. On the hanging platforms, there are scantily clad women walking along.

Dance to the jazz music in the pub.

The guests in the tavern wear suits and leather shoes for men, and fashionable long skirts for women.

"Sir, how can I help you?"

The waiter in a vest asked Donnie politely.

Downey replied: "I'm here to see my friends!"

After speaking, Downey looked around the entire hall, and soon saw the cramped Margaret and the comfortable Lucy at a wine table near the center of the hall.

In addition, at their wine table, there were two 'gentlemen' in suits chatting with each other. Margaret was embarrassed and didn't know how to respond, while Lucy was holding a wine glass and chatting and laughing with each other.

"Hey, that's my friend!" Downey pointed to Margaret's position, took out a $10 tip from his jacket pocket and handed it to the waiter.

"Sir, please come with me!" The waiter's smile became even brighter.

"This beautiful lady, your beautiful appearance should not be buried in Atlantic City. I am Richard Siff from Los Angeles. You can call me Richard. I am a producer for a film company, and you are

The perfect heroine I have been looking for, believe me, follow me back to Los Angeles, I will make you a famous female star in the United States!"

Richard is diligently promoting himself to Margaret.

"Wow, are you really a producer?"

When Margaret didn't know how to answer this annoying fly, Lucy asked excitedly.

"Of course, you can doubt my gender, but you can't doubt my vision!" Richard looked very serious.

"Margaret, this is a good opportunity. I think you should agree to his invitation!" Lucy first persuaded Margaret excitedly, and then asked Richard: "Then do you think I can

Going to Hollywood to be a female star?"

"Of course, haven't you two discovered that it is because of your appearance that the entire Fuli Tavern has lost its luster?"

Richard said exaggeratedly, and then continued to persuade Margaret. Margaret was embarrassed and didn't know how to refuse, but Lucy was full of interest.

At this moment, Downey appeared behind Richard, patted Richard on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Sir, this is not how you start a conversation!"

Richard turned around in surprise. Margaret saw Downey's arrival and immediately smiled. Lucy was simply curious. The man next to Lucy rolled up his sleeves.

"Let me tell you how to successfully strike up a conversation with a girl!"

Donny ignored everyone's gaze, and after finishing speaking, he raised his hand and lifted Margaret's chin, then leaned down and pressed his lips against Margaret's lips...Chapter completed!
