“Okay, but what’s the stakes?” Someone asked.
And this was what everyone was most concerned about, after all, if they could not get the stakes, they were not that interested in participating.
A man smiled and then typed ‘A bottle of Louis XIII.”
‘Louis XIII! Good, quite a big game, okay, I’ll bet.”
‘I bet on that too.’
The others responded and all joined in the bet.
Then everyone put down their phones and stared at Jake.
Jake answered the call, his thin lips open as he called out a title, “Excuse me, I’ll talk to my wife first.”
Those words instantly brought mixed emotions to the room.
The joy was for those who guess the outcome and win the bet.
And the sad was for the ones who guessed wrong and lost the bet.
The group would have to buy a bottle of Louis XIIl each and give it to the people who won the bet.
