Chapter 711


    Dognabbit. I just want to use the chance to be around Brennan more and find time to talk business with


    him. Who''d have thought it''de to this?!


    However, Shirley had no regrets, for it was the only chance she had to get close to Garrick.


    "Don''t worry about it. It''d be a miracle if you could win a game of poker against those old foxes."


    Garrick pulled a surprisingly amiable smile, leading Shirley to look at him with twinkling eyes filled with


    gratitude and admiration.


    But lo and behold, Skyler caught her gaze and he spected her rtionship with Garrick


    groundlessly.


    "When has Brennan started taking a liking to the babe-in-the- woods type?" he ridiculed after taking a


    gander at Garrick.


    "Have a cherry, Mr. Skyler," said Gianna as she popped a cherry into Skyler''s mouth while sitting next


    to him. "She looks pretty cute.


    Even I''d fall for her, let alone Mr. Garrick."


    "Here, let me teach you." Garrick pulled a chair over to sit next to Shirley, teaching her poker while


    resting one arm on the back of her chair.


    She had to admit that Garrick was amazing in poker, so much so that he could even guess what his


    opponents had, and just like that, Shirley won ten games straight, sessfully retrieving all her bet


    money.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    Then, the dishes had been fully served, and the utterly defeated few hurriedly waved their hands and


    left the side all.


    "C''mon, let''s eat. I''m done ying."


    "What freaking luck."


    "You''re Garrick''s Lady Luck, aren''t you, Miss?"


    "It''s because Garrick''s lucky today."


    "You can say that again."


    As they yed using checks and Garrick won over twenty million by the end of it, he pulled a five


    hundred thousand check, the smallest amount among the stack, out and handed it to Shirley. "Yours.


    Good work."


    However, the young woman frowned while looking at the check. "I don''t need it."


    Who does he think I''m?! Angerced her face as she pursed her lips, then mustered up the courage to


    ask if he could give her his phone number, as the one she got earlier in thepany was evidently his


    assistant''s.


    "She''s a daring one, eh?"


    "Garrick, girls like her are good at ying hard to get. You should keep your eyes peeled."


    "How about I give you my number instead, sweetheart?"


    "A phone number instead of money? Tsk, tsk... Greedy."


    While Garrick hesitated as the others judged Shirley, Skyler had enough. "What are you doing?"


    "I didn’t realize I was supposed to report whatever I do to you!" Shirley was vexed.


    She had promised Veronica not to tell anyone about her rtionship with Vincere Games, so she didn''t


    want to bring it up.


    "Why grovel at him when you can juste to me for money?!" Skyler grabbed Shirley by the wrist and


    headed outside, but she wrestled it away and snapped, "Let go! What are you, a lunatic?! Who are you


    to me to meddle in my business?!"


    To Shirley, he was a licentious man. Hell, she wished she could stay as far away from him as possible.


    D*ckhead!


    After snapping at Skyler, she turned to Garrick. "President Brennan, can-"


    But to her dismay, the man turned to the washroom without even sparing her a nce before she even


    finished her words.


    He had tantly disregarded her, and Shirley thought her pride had been stepped on.


    While everyone else looked silently at Skyler and her like they were enjoying a show, Gianna asked


    gingerly, "Mr. Skyler, who''s... she?"


    To that, the man red grimly. "What are you, blind?! Can''t you tell she''s a woman who wants to turn


    from rags to riches?!"


    Ever since he told Shirley about Wade at Matthew''s ''funeral'', she constantly infuriated him.
