Mr.Stone smiled excitedly and whispered to Erin, "Don't worry Erin, the profits will go to charity,"

Each player sat holding their cards, being careful not to show anyone.

A young attractive woman sat at Daniel's side, but he gave her a cold look and she moved away.

Fa Shen joined the table with two drinks and sat at Daniel's side silently.

Erin felt so awkward, with the two of them watching her. She played with her hair and turned to Mr.Stone.

Erin sighed and drank from her glass, "Honestly sir, I don't even know how to play,"
