Chapter 35
Things got awkward around the table. Silence fell,
with nothing but sounds of Gordon and Seth
throwing cards in the air, interspersed with Dariel
and Simon saying they would pass.
Gordon only had a few cards left in his hand, and
Isabella got nervous. She looks at Seth’s hand.
Seth’s cards weren’t optimal, but he was smart.
Even with a player like Gordon playing him, he
managed to shed most of his cards. There were
only one ten, a Q, and a pair of fives left.
Gordon must have some trump card. If it was a
bigger one, Seth wouldn’t be able to shed all his
cards. Isabella looked at Gordon. He picked up the

he thought he would win.
“Are you going to take my pants off yourself if we
lose?” whispered Seth.
Isabella was panicking. She felt his breath against
her ear, tickling her like a brush. She turned away,
her ears burning up. She thought this was
embarrassing.
Someone broke the silence. “Play this.” Before
Gordon could do anything, Selena played a card
from his hand. It was a K.
Gordon’s face fell, and he glared at Selena.
Selena was shocked, and she fumbled a little.

Gordon didnt even want to look at her. The look on
his face was icy.
Dariel clicked his tongue again, and he chuckled.
There were smile lines on the corner of his eyes. He
turned to Seth. “Are you taking this, Mr. Shaffer?”
Isabella looked at his cards. She softly said, “He’s
not.” If I’m right, Gordon must have two smaller
cards. He was going to use those to win, with the K
coming out last. This is going to be hard for him.
Selena cares about Seth too much.
Upset, Gordon played a nine. Seth was still
matching him moments earlier, but the man had
lost interest now. He gave the cards back to
Isabella. He didn’t want to finish this himself.
Isabella played a ten. Gordon couldn’t match that,
so she played the rest of the cards.
“What’s your last card, Mr. Dunkstein?” Isabella
asked.
Gordon poked the inside of his cheek and tossed
his card onto the table. It was a seven.
“Oh, you have a traitor beside you.” Bethany clicked
her tongue and looked at Selena in disdain. If she
hadn’t played that K, Gordon would’ve won. Simon
and Dariel didn’t even play any cards, so they didn’t
have to take off any clothes.
Gordon took off his suit icily, revealing his well–built
body. He plopped down onto the chair and shoved
Selena. Then he pointed at Isabella. “You two,

switch.”
Isabella wasn’t expecting him to be this forward.
She looked at Selena and heaved a sigh of relief.
Nonetheless, awkwardness hung in the air. Selena
was pulled out of her seat, and she walked over
nervously. Isabella felt a sharp stare coming from
behind, but she stood up anyway. She felt the arm
on her waist pulling her harder, refusing to let her

Seth stood up. The light that shone on him made
him look icier than before. The air around him felt cold. He scanned the place, and everything around
him felt heavier and oppressive. He held Isabella
and looked at Gordon. “She’s a saboteur. We’re
switching in one of the ladies here.”

There were a lot of bunny girls in this club. He
wanted Gordon to get a random one.

Gordon thought that was mortifying, and he
chortled. “I brought that woman you’re holding into
this place tonight.” He looked at Isabella arrogantly,
then crossed his arms and looked at Seth. “Why

don’t you ask what she wants?”
Isabella broke down a little, and she cursed both
men in her heart. She also cursed Selena in the
process. Your stupidity is dragging everyone down.
“Say something, Bella.” Bethany rested her cheeks
in her hands. She loved this drama. “Which one will
you pick?”
They’re both bad news. I can’t cross either of them.

Isabella tensed up, and a lump formed in her
throat. She couldn’t come up with a better way to
disentangle this mess.
Someone’s phone rang, and the tension flowed
away. Relieved, Isabella looked at Simon. Simon
raised his hands apologetically. “Sorry, guys. I’ve got
to take this.”
Isabella wanted to thank him. Your apology is not
needed.
Simon took his phone out and looked at the screen,
and the smile on his face froze. The phone was still
ringing.
Isabella smiled. Nosily, she asked, “Why aren’t your
taking it?”

Simon placed the phone right beside Seth, then
tapped the table. “Should I take this?”
The air was awkward, so he asked Seth something
to change the subject.
Isabella looked at the phone. It was Lara calling
