Chapter 44 She Didn't Steal a Glance at Him
Evidently, Orlando was in a good mood.
The atmosphere got subtle in the casino. Ryder kept humiliating himself and finally realized he shouldn't argue with Penny. If he continued talking to her, he would be fuming with anger. Ryder took a deep breath and looked at the dealer. "Please deal the cards."
After the dealer made sure that everyone else was ready, he took out the cards.
Penny was surrounded by many people. Some of them waited to see her humiliated, and the others sympathized with her.
When Penny didn't know the value of the chips, she said she would pay double in return. Shouldn't she return 300 million dollars to Randy in a while?
As a rookie, she dared to play No-limit Hold'em. Even an expert had to think carefully before entering the risky game. Moreover, all the others at the table were ultra-wealthy young men. However, they hadn't ever met Penny before. Penny sat up straight. The two men on her right called two blind bets of 150 thousand and 300 thousand dollars.
Now it was her turn.
Penny glanced at her two cards and thought for a while before tossing them out.
When everyone saw what she did, they found her ridiculous.
Lydia stood near Orlando and couldn't help saying rudely.
"If you don't know how to play, leave the table. We don't have time to watch your funny show."
Penny raised her eyebrow and looked at the dealer. "What, can't I fold the cards?"
The dealer looked awkward and said, "Yes, you can."
However, there hadn't been a board on the table yet, but Penny didn't make a bet and folded the cards. The people felt that she didn't want to lose the bet. She couldn't afford to lose money. In this case, why did she sit at this table?
Those who dared to play No-limit were very wealthy. Since she didn't have the strength, she should give up her pretense.
The room was noisy, and people looked at Penny with meaningful jeers and snickers.
The surrounding crowd was getting impatient, but Penny was unruffled.
At the second round, she called and lost 150 thousand dollars.
At the third round, she called and lost 150 thousand dollars.
When the fourth round had just begun, Ryder said sarcastically.
"You lost 150 thousand in one round. What a miser! No one is as stingy as you here."
His words found an echo in the hearts of many people.
"Leave the table. You don't know how to play. Why do you play?"
"If you can't afford to lose, don't disgrace yourself here. Let someone else take your seat."
"It's boring. You should go home and look after your children. What are you doing here?" The gossipers raised their voices.
Under such a circumstance, Penny called twice in the fourth round and lost 450 thousand dollars. She was the one who lost the least at the table, and the one who lost the most was naturally Orlando.
However, Orlando didn't speak much. He glanced lightly at his cards as if he lost paper instead of money.
He held the cards with slender and forceful fingers, which were like perfect porcelain. Penny couldn't help studying his fingers. When she was waiting, she glanced at him again.
She looked up and met his eyes.
Penny didn't feel embarrassed and smiled calmly as if she didn't steal a glance at him.
Orlando lowered his eyes indifferently and put his hands on the arms of the chair with a calm look on his face.
In Lydia's eyes, Penny was despicable. How dare she seduce Orlando blatantly in front of so many people?
Damn it! Lydia couldn't wait to see Penny go bankrupt.
Amid the gossiping noises, Penny calmly waited for the fifth round to start.
Even Randy couldn't help looking at her.
Penny didn't seem to feel the pressure. When it was her turn, she glanced at her cards.
This time, she called 600 thousand dollars without any demur.
Ryder sneered and ridiculed her coldly, "Have my eyes deceived me? The miser actually calls more money."
