As the night fell, Michael and I entered a casino right in the middle of Las Vegas. It was said to hold a gambling tournament tonight and Laurent never missed an opportunity to lose big amounts of cash.
“I wonder, would anyone recognise you as Michael Jones, the CEO, here?” He snorted. “You sure do like to joke around and play with people’s nerves, don’t you Princess.” I stopped in the middle of the main hall, looking around.
“Do you see him?” He shook his head. “Nope, not yet anyway. We’ve got to wait until the gambling tournament starts. Speaking about the tournament, only members can enter. So, you and I will have to participate.”
I became baffled, embarrassed to have overlooked that detail. “I don’t have any money. And I can’t exactly charge it on Zack’s card.” He then took out of his pocket a black card. “Use my money from my bank account. I’ve got around 5 billion on that card.” Five… billion? I still have yet to get used to this rich lifestyle.
“Also, don’t try and lose it all? That’s a tenth of my whole fortune in your hands.” Suddenly, I felt unneeded pressure appear on my shoulders. We both entered at the same time, paying our participation fee, linking our money up to their machines.
It was time to play. My first round was against a well known mafia boss in Russia. We played five hands of poker, which I won all of them, sending him down into a pool of debt. My ability to manipulate my opponents emotions and get into their head before anything happened was simply too easy.
I, on the other hand, was ruthless. My eyes remained focused, picking up any sign or slight of hand that could show me the contents of his cards. As I advanced up the ranks, Michael couldn’t help but feel very proud of me.
The fact that a woman was winning against mafia bosses and corrupt government officials made the game even more intense and frustrating. However, there was no sign of Laurent. Could he have missed it? Or was he hiding from me?
Meanwhile, on the top of the private room in a VIP suite, a man grinned at how well I kept my composure. Sometimes, I flinched my eyes, making them think that I had a low hand so that they could raise and raise until they went bust. “That woman… get me her name.”
And then, the final round came upon me. Michael had long been out of the competition and I hardly saw the point of continuing. Laurent was nowhere to be found. After the final match, my earnings were exactly 10 billion. I had won and I should have been happy yet… I couldn’t help but feel bored.
Then, a pair of doors opened and people quickly started to whisper. “Gosh, she must really be good if he comes down?” “Who is he?” “Don’t you know? He’s the King of Gambling!”
What had I unleashed upon myself? And where the heck is Laurent?
