Chapter 268
Sean was stunned for a moment.He didn't realize that Katherine would say yes.
After a while, he shook his head and hurriedly nodded.
"Yes, we're only missing one! Come, join us!"
Sean excitedly said and gestured to Katherine to go to the poker room.
As Sean spoke, he hurriedly pulled Charles and James, sitting at the corner, not wanting to move.
"Didn't you guys say you want to play poker? I found another player, so hurry up!" he said and quickly prepared for the game.
After speaking, Sean turned to wink at Katherine, who watched them from the side.
The latter then looked at the former with a disgusted expression.
‘Why did he do that?’ Katherine thought.
The poker room was clean, and it didn't reek of cigarettes or alcohol.
Despite the rain, the air in the room was relatively fresh since the windows were open for ventilation.
Katherine sat and took her phone out.
"So, Mr.Lewis, how much do you wanna bet?" she calmly asked as she raised a brow.
Sean wanted Katherine to stay.
But, he was used to playing poker with people who put large bets.
‘She might leave if I tell her to bet a large amount" Sean thought.
Sean bit his lip and thought about it for a while before raising a finger.
"Ten dollars would be fine," he said hesitantly.
Katherine smiled and confidently spoke, "Sure."
Half an hour later, Sean looked at the pile of chips in front of Katherine.
Somehow, he felt glad that he told her to bet ten dollars instead of a hundred.
Considering Katherine's winning rate, Sean might have no chance to win if they bet a hundred dollars.
Within four rounds, Katherine had already won twice by draw and claimed a pile of chips once.
All in all, she had already won at least one hundred dollars.
Sean didn't care about the money he would lose.
What bothered him most was that he was getting more unlucky as the night deepened.
At first, Sean just wanted to keep Katherine from leaving, so she and Zack would meet.
But the longer they played, the more frustrated he felt.
Sean's eyes turned red as he tried to concentrate on playing his cards well.
After another half an hour, Katherine had won more than 200 dollars.
Katherine teasingly glanced at Sean, who looked like a defeated rooster, and smiled mischievously.
‘Poor guy.He looks so devastated" she thought.
Katherine then planned to lose the next round to let Sean win to propose to leave.
As Katherine was about to place a card down, a hand suddenly snatched it from her and pointed at another card.
"You should play with this card," he muttered.
Katherine was stunned for a moment.
She was too focused on the game that she hadn't realized that Zack had come in.
Katherine glared at Zack with her brows furrowed.
When Zack saw how Katherine reacted, he scooted away from her with his hands in the air.
"Okay, play any card you want," he said.
Sean glared at Zack from the side.
"Stop cheating, Zack! Let her play on her own," he said as he shooed Zack away.
The crowd fell into an awkward silence.
Zack wasn't the only one here.
Katherine didn't speak and drew the card she wanted to play.
Sean saw how different the atmosphere was, so he decided to break the silence.
"Aish! I'm going to lose!" he wailed and ruffled his hair.
Sean lost the whole night.
It wasn't easy for him to win a game.
He immediately turned over to the others and spoke, "Tch, Katherine really knows how to play her cards.Next time, I'll win!"
James, who was at the side, couldn't stand him being so cocky.
"Just admit that Katherine is good at poker.Do you really think you can win against her?" he scoffed.
"What bullshit, James! It's bold of you to call me that when you didn't play the whole night,"
Sean answered sharply.
James shrugged.
"It wasn't me who lost the whole night," he calmly replied.
Sean didn't dare to talk back.
‘Too oblivious of you to say that!’ Sean thought as he deeply sighed.
"Let's continue!"
Sean immediately said to Katherine.
Sean could no longer be overconfident, so he silently shuffled the cards.
Katherine looked at him.
"Mr.Lewis, it’s late.I have to go home," she said.
"Huh? It’s not even eight o'clock yet.Is it because Zack is here? Did it affect your performance? In fact, I also felt that he ruined
the atmosphere.Don't worry.I'll drive him out," Sean said diligently.
Because Sean was too immersed in playing poker, he forgot why he asked Katherine to play with him in the beginning.
Katherine shook her head in disapproval.
"I'm used to sleeping early.Just schedule it next time, so I can come.Let's stop here," she said determinedly.
Sean was just trying to stop Katherine from leaving.
But because the latter was so determined to go, he didn't try to stop her.
After Sean spoke, he winked at Zack.
The latter then scurried beside Katherine, ready to escort her to the parking lot.
Katherine saw how Sean winked and was disgusted once again.
‘If he keeps doing this, his eyes might be squeezed into a straight line" she thought as she shook her head.
Katherine stood and turned to Zack.
"You don't need to trouble yourself.My Car is just downstairs," she said abruptly.
After speaking, Katherine nodded to the others, took her bag, and started walking out.
Sean looked at the chips on the table.
‘It's almost 300 dollars!’ he thought.
Sean quickly called out to Katherine, "Hey, the money you won!"
Without turning, Katherine spoke, "Give it to Cherry, a small gift for her."
After Katherine finished speaking, she continued walking out of the poker room.
