Chapter 45


    Yasmin froze in ce.


    All her savingsbined only amounted to 10,000 dors. How could she pay now?


    Erik saw how ugly her expression was and chuckled. “Don’t tell me you don’t even have a couple


    hundred thousand dors saved up, Yasmin?”


    “This won’t do,” Joel responded. “A couple hundred thousand dors is nothing with ke around.


    He’ll surely cover for Yasmin.”


    Yasmin’s face had crumpled.


    ke had cut her bank card off. Where could she find the money to pay back everyone at the


    table?


    Right when she was moping about this, Joel called out, “ke, why don’t youe to y


    Yasmin’s hand? She keeps on losing.”


    ke was looking at his phone on the couch. He shot Yasmin a look when Joel said this.


    Yasmin’s brows knitted tightly together as she thought about her financial debt.


    ke’s own brows knitted slightly. He got up and went to the card table. “Scooch over.”


    Yasmin looked up at him.


    ke met her eyes.


    “Move. Do you hear me?”


    Yasmin glumly shuffled over.

    ke sat down beside her. Then, he said, “Shuffle the cards.”


    Yasmin returned to her senses immediately. She tugged at his clothes when no one was looking,


    whispering, “You’re still ying? I already lost 300,000 dors!”


    ke got another card from Erik, adding it to his hand. He then pried Yasmin’s hand away


    from his shirt.


    “Are you listening to me?” Yasmin growled when ke ignored her. She reached over to tug at his


    clothes again, but this time, she identally touched a certain somewhere when ke dodged her


    hand.


    ke’s breathing hitched. He shot her an icy look. “Keep your hands to yourself in public.”


    Yasmin flushed red. She didn’t do it on purpose!


    Everyone at the table grew more serious now that ke had joined them. They were all looking at


    the cards, no longer paying attention to Yasmin and ke.


    Yasmin quietly sighed in relief. She leaned into ke’s ear and whispered, “Be careful. This is a


    very expensive round.”


    As if deliberately opposing her, ke added another card to his hand.


    “Hey!”


    “Yasmin snapped unhappily.


    ke grinned. “You won’t lose with me around.”


    Yasmin was about to call him a proud snob when Erik added a card to his hand. ke then called,


    “Dealer’s bust.”


    ke then put his cards out for all to see. Joel leaned over to look. “Five–card Charlie? Damn!


    Looks like it’s not that Yasmin’s hand sucks, it’s just that you’re not good at ckjack.”


    Yasmin wasn’t good at it. She didn’t even know how much a five–card Charlie could win.


    She turned her curious eyes to Joel and asked, “How much did this set win?”


    “300,000 dors. You’ve won back your due, Yasmin.”


    Yasmin was stunned. She nced at Erik to find his expression somewhat sour.


    This made her feel gleeful. She looked back at ke.


    He was already starting the second round with a calm expression on his face.


    “I didn’t know you knew how to y ckjack,” Yasmin murmured gently in his ear.


    “I don’t y much.” ke’s tone was t. “I just have a good memory. I learned the basics after


    ying with my mother during New Year’s.”


    Yasmin marveled at his talent.


    Sure enough, Yasmin’s financial nightmare ended once ke joined their game.


    Now, it was Erik who stopped getting ckjacks.


    ke won several rounds, none of which Yasmin knew how to calcte. She turned to Joel and


    asked, “How much have I won now, Dr. Sawyer?”


    “You’ve already won a little over a million dors, Yasmin.”


    Yasmin’s eyes widened.


    “You’ve basically won against everyone now that ke is here to help you, Yasmin. ke has a


    good memory and can remain calm all the time. None of us usually y with him,”


    Joel said.


    So that was how it was.
