"Let's get married." The half-naked billionaire says it in such commanding tone. Lisa could still recall exactly what happened half an hour ago-though she throws a tantrum, screaming and stomping up and down like a kid; the man just sits and waits for her to calm down and studies her face for a moment, then pop the question.
