Chapter 77: The Inflatable Boat
Mary turned around and was about to leave when Natalie stopped her!
“Miss Mary, since you insist on leaving, I think you need something more to protect you!”
Natalie pulled Mary to the storage room at the side. When she opened the door, Mary was surprised to see a room full of all kinds of kayaks and inflatable boats,
“Take an inflatable boat back! For example, this one is usually used by my dad for fishing. It’s better to use an electric one! I can see that the water level outside is getting higher and higher. It’s almost over our steps. If you use this to go back, it’ll be faster and safer. Don’t say no, okay?”
Natalie looked at Mary with enthusiasm. She really wanted to thank Mary.
Of course, Mary wouldn’t refuse!
However, looking at the house of kayaks, a question suddenly came to Mary’s mind!
“Natalie, is your family in the kayaking business?”
Natalie shook her head. “Of course not. Kayaking is just one of the small businesses.”
Mary raised her eyebrows. “Then can your family help us get a speedboat? The kind that can be used at sea; the big one!”
Natalie replied, “Of course, Miss Mary. My father is a ship builder!”
Mary did not expect that she had really picked up their saving grace!
Natalie was actually the daughter of a ship owner!
Regardless of whether Monroe and the others had gotten a speedboat or not, she had gotten one anyway!
Mary’s mouth was so wide that it almost reached her ears. She was so happy that she could not suppress it. “Natalie, I want to order one!”
Natalie agreed immediately.
Although Warren City was not a coastal city, it had a very wide river. Usually, there were steamships and speedboats on it as entertainment venues.
After leaving her contact information, Mary finally went home.
She chose a yellow rubber inflatable boat and pushed it into the water together with Natalie.
“My father has gone out to look for me. As long as I stay at home, he will come back and see me. But Miss Mary, you have to be careful on your way back!”
Natalie thought of the little troubles they had encountered on the way back and could not help but worry for Mary.
Mary rubbed Natalie’s head. “Trust me, I will return safely. But you, keep an eye on grandma and don’t let any more accidents happen. It was nice to meet you, Natalie!”
Mary boarded the inflatable boat and waved goodbye to Natalie.
Mary rowed back according to the route she had memorized in her mind. Although using the boat was a little over the top, the water level was so high, that it had already reached her thighs!
There were people looking at her from the side of the road.
Some looked indifferent, and some asked for her help.
Most of them were people who came out to work in the morning but were now trapped.
Since there were no old people nor children, so Mary rowed away as soon as possible.
The sky was getting darker and darker.
The heavy rain made it hard for people to open their eyes. Mary pulled down the brim of her raincoat, closed her mouth, and even her breath was coming out from behind her with her head lowered!
In addition, she had to keep draining water, perhaps her yellow inflatable boat was too eye-catching, and soon, someone really noticed her.
On the top floor of the five-story apartment, a man in a formal suit, a pair of gold-rimmed eyes on the bridge of his nose, and a hexagonal diamond earring on his left ear was standing by the window, staring downstairs.
On such a rainy day, even the government did not send any help, but what did he see?
A yellow boat!
“Boss, look over there!” The people beside him also noticed it and pointed downstairs excitedly.
The man’s voice was very cold. “It’s a rubber inflatable boat!”
The subordinate chuckled. “It seems to be more useful than our kayak?”
The man said arrogantly, “Go! Get It over here!”
Mary was about to turn when suddenly, her kayak seemed to be hooked by something?
She turned her head and saw three big men dragging her inflatable boat from behind.
