Now that we're all here, hurry up and begin!" Alexander winked at them. Scarlett stood by and watched, feeling sorry for his handsface.
The card room was clean. There was no smell of alcohol or tobacco. The window was open, and it was raining outside, so the air was fresh.
Scarlett took a seat, unhurriedly taking out her phone. "How much will the loser pay?" Alexander just wanted to keep Scarlett here. They used to win or lose thousands of dollars at cards. If he told Scarlett the truth, she might directly go away.
He thought for a moment and held up a finger. "Just one... Ten dollars." Scarlett curved her lips and grunted.

Alexander was not worried about money. He just felt h e was unlucky tonight.
He was just trying to keep her here at first, but he becserious while playing with her.
After another half hour, Scarlett had won more than 20,000 dollars.
She glanced at Alexander, who looked very frustrated. She intended to give him a card and then leave.
However, just as she was about to do so, someone reached out his big hand and put back the card, replacing it with another. "Discard this one." Scarlett was stunned, not knowing when Raymond cin.
Meeting her gaze, Raymond blinked. "Do as you like." Alexander glared at Raymond. "Raymond, you're cheating! Why are you helping her?" There were other people here. Scarlett couldn't say anything. She threw the original card.
"Huh! | won!" Alexander had been losing tonight. When he finally won, he was overjoyed. "Huh, Scarlett, you play very well!" Jake couldn't bear to see him so proud. "Scarlett purposely gave you the card. Do you think you can win by yourself?" "Bullshit! Jake, you didn't even win once tonight. How dare you taunt me!" Jake shrugged his shoulders. "I'm not the one who lost the most." Alexander was struck dumb.
He forgot it.

Scarlett looked at him. "Mr. Smith, it's late. I'm going back." "What? It's not even eight o'clock. Why are you going back so early? Do you feel that Raymond affects you? | think he's affecting us too! Don't worry, I'll help you chase him out!" How could Alexander chase Raymond out? He had totally forgotten the real purpose of inviting Scarlett to play cards.
Scarlett shook her head and said firmly, "I'm used to going to bed early. Let's stop here and play another day." Alexander was just saying that to please her. Now that Scarlett was determined, he dared not push Raymond out. "Okay, then let us send you back." He winked at Raymond.
Scarlett was afraid that his eyes would becsmaller after seeing his wink.
Finally, she said, "Don't bother. | parked my car outside." She nodded at the others, took her bag, and walked towards the door.
Alexander looked at the chips on the table, which were worth almost 30,000 dollars.
"Hey, you forgot your money!" "Give it to Cindy as a small gift." Scarlett said and left the room.
