1984 (#27) - Victor's bet and the attraction between Douglas and Boobsie

Douglas and Victor, despite the Victor's marriage, still continue to hang out and cultivate their friendship in luxury clubs and nightclubs. During one of their evenings, the conversation between them shifts to Victor's ability to get everything he wants because of his success, his money and his name. Victor reminds Douglas that he has become the person who started from nothing, but Douglas thinks that Victor was also very lucky and that he would hardly succeed and regain a good position by starting from nothing. Victor then, convinced in his own means and abilities, bet with Douglas that he would be able to get an ordinary job without using and spending his name. Meanwhile the Bayou, the nightclub owned by Victor, changes management when Leroy, still shaken by the tragic events linked to the mafia, decides to leave Genoa City and let his sister Marian Cooper drive it. Taking advantage of the fact that Marian does not know him personally, Victor decides to put his bet into action. Using a different name, Victor gets a job with Marian. And when the woman admits that she feels lucky to have an employee like him, who quickly suggests ideas for increasing her clientele, Douglas admits that he lost the bet. Fired from the restaurant, Victor then sends a large sum of money anonymously to the woman to help her with her business, but the woman, having discovered the man's identity and feeling used and entangled in a simple, petty wager, reluctantly rejects the money, before accepting the offer convinced that the gesture was genuine. During an evening offered by Douglas for losing the bet, meanwhile, the man sees the beautiful Boobsie, the woman who appeared in the pornographic film instead of Nikki, dancing. It's Douglas, then, who wins his bet when he gets to know and be appreciated by the woman. He is strongly impressed by the woman and soon Douglas falls in love with the much younger Boobsie. Fascinated also by Douglas' wealth and life, a feeling soon develops between the two of them that turns into a complicated and passionate love story.
