Chapter 709 Skylar Came
Amidst the crowd’s roar, Shirley turned around with the teapot and walked to Garrick’s side, replying, “I… know a thing or two.” “I’m not feeling lucky today. Play two rounds for me.”
When Garrick stood up, the blond beauty beside him glared at Shirley before obediently getting up to give up her seat to him. Shirley placed the teapot down and sat cautiously in his position while he sat beside her. “What are you guys playing?” she inquired. “Poker.”
Garrick sat beside her, took out a cigarette, and put it in his mouth. Seeing that, Shirley quickly took a lighter to light the cigarette for him. However, when the lighter was shoved at him, he shot a cold glare at her. Even though he didn’t speak and merely looked at her, she was so frightened that she immediately put down the lighter and got ready for the game.
“I raise. Go on. It’s your turn,” the dealer with chestnut-brown hair reminded her. Looking at the cards in front of her, she said, “Call.”
“Royal Flush. Hahaha.” The man opposite her threw his cards and burst into laughter. Shirley’s lips twitched wildly, and she subconsciously looked back at Garrick.
“Are you doing this on purpose? You shouldn’t have played a call!” The blond beauty standing beside Garrick pointed to the card in front of her and snorted, “Do you know how much money you’re losing for this round? If you play the cards without tactics and lose this round, I suppose you don’t even have enough money to pay for it.”
Shirley was even more nervous upon hearing the blonde beauty’s remark. When she turned around and looked at her cards, she couldn’t help but regret her decision. She shouldn’t have played a call! Feeling helpless, she grinned foolishly and gasped secretly.
A few of them poked their heads in and started getting into a heated discussion.
“Hahaha. It’s true.”
“Is she actually a spy, Garrick?”
“What is she doing? I could’ve won this round if it wasn’t for her!”
“What the hell is this?”
…
Because of that, everyone cast strange glances one after another at her. Due to her guilty conscience, she felt her palms sweating due to nervousness.
However, the door was pushed open at this moment, and someone came in. “What’s with the lively mood in here? What are you guys playing?”
Hearing the familiar voice, everyone turned their heads to see the newcomer. It turned out to be Skyler, in a white shirt, who was walking in with a short-haired beauty in a red dress.
“You’re finally here, Drew. Garrick would’ve lost everything if you came any later, including his underwear.”
“Hahaha. Come on in. Garrick found an interesting girl. Come and watch.”
“Is she your new girlfriend? Where’s your wife?”
“How bold of you to bring a girl in. Aren’t you afraid that Sofia will kill you?”
…
These people seemed very familiar with Skyler and knew his situation well, but…
Shirley never expected to see him here. She gritted her teeth when she glanced at him and then at the short-haired beauty beside him. For some reason, she felt a chill in her heart.
The moment Shirley noticed him, Skyler also saw her. Subconsciously, he let go of the woman beside him. Still, she grabbed him by the arm and smiled gracefully while she greeted, “Hello, everyone. I’m Gianna. Nice to meet all of you.”
“Come on, Skyler. Join us for a round of poker.” The guy with the chestnut-brown hair stood up and greeted Skyler politely.
Stunned, he questioned Shirley, “Why are you here?”
She was currently wearing a waitress outfit, so he was dumbfounded. Since when did she resort to working as a waitress?
Recalling what a playboy Skyler was, Shirley couldn’t help but feel disdain. “Why can’t I come here when you can?”
