And the others were shocked as they stared at Franklin and Sylvia.
The flirtatious and affectionate atmosphere between the two instantly gave Harold and the others a
new understanding of Sylvia.
A woman who could make Franklin notice and care about must be an extraordinary woman.
Who exactly was she?
"Let's play a game of high-low," Hunter glanced at the cards on the table. "It's the simplest way to play."
Sylvia raised her eyes, her delicate features unforgettable.
Especially her cold temperament, which matched Franklin's aura perfectly.
Her slender fingertips held a playing card, making her look stunningly beautiful. Her pupils emitted a
seductive light under the lamp light.
"Are you sure you want to play high-low?"
Her words made Harold and others confused about what she meant.
Sylvia casually spoke up, "There are people in this world called geniuses, understand?"
Harold's expression became extremely strange for a moment as he looked at Sylvia. He felt that this
woman was very mysterious but didn't know whether or not to believe her words since people who
claimed to be geniuses were rare indeed.
He was skeptical when he heard Hunter sneer, "Deputy Chief loves joking around."
"If you don't believe me, let's get started."
Sylvia nodded without shuffling; instead she glanced over at Harold and said, "Shuffle them."
Harold was speechless.
Was she ordering him? Was she asking him, the highest-ranking minister, to shuffle cards? To be her
card-shuffling minion?
However, what made him even more speechless was that he actually went over there obediently to
shuffle them. When it dawned on him, he had finished shuffling!
This... was really inexplicable!
Why did he listen to this woman's orders?
Seeing Harold involuntarily becoming Sylvia's minion for shuffling cards almost made Jasper laugh out
loud. He couldn't help but move his lips, silently saying: Miss Andrews is amazing!
Franklin sitting next to Sylvia lazily crossed his long legs with an indulgent smile on his handsome face;
his wife must be a genius after all...
And everyone else stared at her like they saw some kind of monster...
Normally in their minds, Harold was so high up that no one could reach him!
Even the vice president would show some respect when meeting Harold.
Now, this woman actually ordered him to shuffle? And he obediently did it?
Harold was really frustrated.
Why should he listen to this woman's orders? At that time, he didn't know why, but when he sensed the
powerful aura emanating from her body, he involuntarily wanted to submit.
Damn it!
He is the highest-ranking minister.
He really lost face this time.
As he regretted it, Sylvia's cold voice sounded again. "Let's not stand on ceremony! Whoever has a
higher hand wins. Best two out of three rounds. How about that?"
Hunter sat in his seat and nodded lightly.
"For fairness' sake, please let Mr. Gamble deal!" Sylvia ordered Harold very impolitely again.
Harold decided not to be a dealer anymore this time. He cleared his throat and was about to refuse
when Sylvia said, "Only Mr. Gamble is qualified as a dealer here because Mr. Gamble has the highest
rank."
Harold turned green with anger; if he didn't deal... did that mean his rank wasn't high enough?
So dealing cards was only because of his high rank? So that made him qualified?
Damn it!
He couldn't refute her at all.
So he reluctantly picked up the stack of shuffled cards and began dealing one card each for Sylvia and
Hunter respectively.
Jasper could hardly contain himself from laughing out loud; Miss Andrews was too awesome!
Franklin's deep-set eyes flickered as they gazed intently at Sylvia who seemed radiant with an unusual
glow.
After dealing five cards, Hunter began looking down at his own cards one by one while letting out a
sigh of relief after seeing them.
However... when Hunter looked up again after checking his hand thoroughly - he saw a faint smile on
the lips of the woman sitting across from him.
For some reason unknown even to himself, seeing those sparkling eyes and those slightly curved red
lips made him feel uneasy deep inside.
"Please reveal your hands," Harold dutifully played along as their card dealer.
Hunter revealed his hand directly without any hesitation: four identical faces plus one single card which
brought some relief to his supporters, who were sitting around watching eagerly; they couldn't believe
that on their first game, Sylvia would have gotten herself a straight flush!
"Four of a Kind, not bad," she nodded.
Chaz thought she had a bad hand and couldn't help but smirk, his eyes glinting with challenge and
pride. "Deputy Chief, it's your turn to show your cards."novelbin
Four of a Kind is when you have four cards with the same face value plus one other card.
