Chapter 35


    Things got awkward around the table. Silence fell,


    with nothing but sounds of Gordon and Seth


    throwing cards in the air, interspersed with Dariel


    and Simon saying they would pass.


    Gordon only had a few cards left in his hand, and


    Isabe got nervous. She looks at Seth’s hand.


    Seth’s cards weren’t optimal, but he was smart.


    Even with a yer like Gordon ying him, he


    managed to shed most of his cards. There were


    only one ten, a Q, and a pair of fives left.


    Gordon must have some trump card. If it was a


    bigger one, Seth wouldn’t be able to shed all his


    cards. Isabe looked at Gordon. He picked up the


    Heart in Another


    he thought he would win.


    “Are you going to take my pants off yourself if we


    lose?” whispered Seth.


    Isabe was panicking. She felt his breath against


    her ear, tickling her like a brush. She turned away,


    her ears burning up. She thought this was


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    embarrassing.


    Someone broke the silence. “y this.” Before


    Gordon could do anything, Selena yed a card


    from his hand. It was a K.


    Gordon’s face fell, and he red at Selena.


    Selena was shocked, and she fumbled a little.


    “What’s wrong?”

    Chapter 15. Heart in Another


    Gordon didnt even want to look at her. The look on


    his face was icy.


    Dariel clicked his tongue again, and he chuckled.


    There were smile lines on the corner of his eyes. He


    turned to Seth. “Are you taking this, Mr. Shaffer?”


    Isabe looked at his cards. She softly said, “He’s


    not.” If I’m right, Gordon must have two smaller


    cards. He was going to use those to win, with the K


    Selena cares about Seth too much.


    Upset, Gordon yed a nine. Seth was still


    matching him moments earlier, but the man had


    lost interest now. He gave the cards back to


    Isabe. He didn’t want to finish this himself.


    Isabe yed a ten. Gordon couldn’t match that,


    so she yed the rest of the cards.


    “What’s yourst card, Mr. Dunkstein?” Isabe


    asked.


    Gordon poked the inside of his cheek and tossed


    his card onto the table. It was a seven.


    “Oh, you have a traitor beside you.” Bethany clicked


    her tongue and looked at Selena in disdain. If she


    hadn’t yed that K, Gordon would’ve won. Simon


    and Dariel didn’t even y any cards, so they didn’t


    have to take off any clothes.


    Gordon took off his suit icily, revealing his well–built


    body. He plopped down onto the chair and shoved


    Selena. Then he pointed at Isabe. “You two,

    switch.”


    Isabe wasn’t expecting him to be this forward.


    She looked at Selena and heaved a sigh of relief.


    Nheless, awkwardness hung in the air. Selena


    was pulled out of her seat, and she walked over


    nervously. Isabe felt a sharp stareing from


    behind, but she stood up anyway. She felt the arm


    on her waist pulling her harder, refusing to let her


    1. go.


    Seth stood up. The light that shone on him made


    him look icier than before. The air around him felt cold. He scanned the ce, and everything around


    him felt heavier and oppressive. He held Isabe


    and looked at Gordon. “She’s a saboteur. We’re


    switching in one of thedies here.”

    Chapter 35 Heart in Another


    There were a lot of bunny girls in this club. He


    wanted Gordon to get a random one.


    Gordon thought that was mortifying, and he


    chortled. “I brought that woman you’re holding into


    this ce tonight.” He looked at Isabe arrogantly,


    then crossed his arms and looked at Seth. “Why


    don’t you ask what she wants?”


    Isabe broke down a little, and she cursed both


    men in her heart. She also cursed Selena in the


    process. Your stupidity is dragging everyone down.


    “Say something, Be.” Bethany rested her cheeks


    in her hands. She loved this drama. “Which one will


    you pick?”


    They’re both bad news. I can’t cross either of them.

    Chapter 35 Heart in Another


    Isabe tensed up, and a lump formed in her


    throat. She couldn’te up with a better way to


    disentangle this mess.


    Someone’s phone rang, and the tension flowed


    away. Relieved, Isabe looked at Simon. Simon


    raised his hands apologetically. “Sorry, guys. I’ve got


    to take this.”


    Isabe wanted to thank him. Your apology is not


    needed.


    Simon took his phone out and looked at the screen,


    and the smile on his face froze. The phone was still


    ringing.


    Isabe smiled. Nosily, she asked, “Why aren’t your


    taking it?”

    Simon ced the phone right beside Seth, then


    tapped the table. “Should I take this?”


    The air was awkward, so he asked Seth something


    to change the subject.


    Isabe looked at the phone. It was Lara calling
