I Will Gamble

The manager smiled again when Alric finally followed them. It was a tough gamble, Nora was sure that he would refuse. Who would have thought that the man would agree just like that.

Alric held Nora by her waist this time. Heat was burning her waist, but she kept her mind clear as she scanned the men sitting on the table and having the time of their life.

Their cheers and loud bangs on the table made her curious too. She looked like a young lass wanted to taste forbidden sin.

"Is the lady playing or you would, sir?" reaching an empty seat, the manager smiled at Alric. There was only one empty seat. Five other players stared at Alric and Nora with interest.

Nora frowned and looked around.

"I do not want to sit here. The color of this table does not suit my dress. I want to sit on that table." the manager frowned when Nora pointed at a distant table.

"That.." could this girl be any more foolish! She wanted to choose the table matching her dress?
