Chapter 1219


    I nodded and asked, "Where are you?"


    "I''m at the casino!" He said, "I''lle pick you up and take you around!"


    I was lost for a few seconds before I fully woke up and realized that he was said something about a


    casino."Why did you suddenly go to the casino?"


    "I was just taking a look. Go get dressed. I''ll be there soon!"


    After hanging up the phone, I sat on the bed while the rest of my limbs woke up then got up to wash


    and get dressed. Hendrix walked in as I was putting on my clothes. I took a second to admire the


    way he was dressed in a casual ck suit. Although it was ck, it differed from his usual ssic


    style. He looked more energetic and cool, almost like a young man. Actually, he didn''t look old in the


    first ce, but he looked a little more chic and domineering when he was dressed more casually.

    I shamelessly stared at him in surprise. I said without hesitation, "If I saw your photo on the fashion


    magazine cover tomorrow, I wouldn''t be surprised at all."


    He looked even more charming with his lips curled into a smile as he said, "You praise is all I need."


    Of course, I couldn''t be dressed too casually after I saw what he was wearing. I found a ck


    sundress from the closet and paired them with matching high heels. He was a little displeased when


    he saw my exposed shoulders and back, and covered me with a coat.


    I didn''t reject it. I looked good.


    My whole body was tense as I walked into a casino. In my mind, I imagined that a casino was a


    smoky and chaotic ce. Like something from the 80s. I''ve always felt that it was a ce for people


    who hadpletely lost their humanity and were fighting with each other for money and desire.


    Sensing my anxiety, Hendrix hugged me and saidfortingly, "Don''t need to be so nervous. The


    people heree and go, so there won''t be many people who will pay attention to you. Just


    imagine that we''re going to a bar."


    I nodded, but couldn''t do much about my nervousness. It took a second to realize what I saw. The


    casino waspletely different from what I had imagined. It was decorated with elegant and high-


    end furnishings. While there was still a smell of cigarette smoke in the air, but it did not affect the


    expensive air the casino exuded.


    The vast space was filled with countless gambling tables. Long tables were covered with chips that I


    couldn''t name. At many tables, there would be a beautiful woman distributing cards. I knew nothing


    about gambling, so I could only guess at what game each table held. We didn''t approach any of the


    tables there. Rather, Hendrix and I went up to the second floor.


    The second floor was where the private rooms were located. Even the server was dressed in a


    tasteful ck and white uniform. He politely led us through the second floor and into a private room.


    In therge private room, there was a poker table surrounded by plush leather sofas. There were


    two people gambling at the table when we entered the room.


    Upon seeing Hendrix walk into the room, the young man sitting on the sofa got up and walked


    towards us with a smile on his face. "Mr. Roberts, you''re finally here."


    After a simple but reserved greeting, I found out that the young man''s name was Tobias Hayes. He


    was the grandson of Gerald Hayes and the owner of this casino. I recalled hearing some vague


    rumors about him due to his unconventional style of doing things.


    Tobias leaned back on the sofa and chatted with Hendrix before he shifted his gaze toward me.


    "Arianna, you really are a symbol of beauty. Do you always bring her along wherever you go, Mr.


    Roberts?"


    Hendrix echoed the smile and replied with a gentle expression on his face, "I am more at ease


    when she is by my side as I get older!"
