......
This day, after going around the casino, Elijah's expression darkened. For some reason, he walked to the mahjong table. It was as though his feet were weighed down by lead pieces. He chose a table casually and sat down and started a game.
On one end, the manager was busy dealing with the dispute when he suddenly received a report from his subordinate, "What?"
He breathed hard and his eyes widened. The manager was so shocked that his jaw dropped. "He's here again? What's going on? Why is he here every day recently?"
The waiter nodded and said, "Mr. Luther is here, at table number seven!"
He waved his hand and wiped the cold sweat that beaded his forehead. The manager hurriedly said, "Hurry, don't drag around! Ask those who won't cooperate to go out! Don't make any mistakes. Hurry up! Speed is key!"
At the table, Elijah played a few rounds casually without paying much attention to it. When he looked up, he saw that he was the only one left at the big table. A group of people surrounded him, but three seats were empty. The three people who were playing with him just now stood a few steps away from him. He could still see them but they looked reluctant to join in the game with him. At this time, the chips by his side piled up like mountains.
As his cold gaze swept past the crowd, the crowd all held their breath, took a consensus step backwards like the retreating tide and turned their gazes behind them. When Elijah looked at Hudson, Hudson had closed his eyes and almost thought of covering his own eyes in front of everyone.
Looking back at the table, Elijah also recognized a fact, it seemed that they had lost badly. No one dared to play with him!
"What a disappointment!"
A group of cowards, worse than a woman! He didn't intend to win their money! Was he to be blamed for being so lucky recently?
How boring!
Unable to contain his frustration any longer, he swung his hands casually and threw all the chips on the table. Then he stood up with a dark expression as if someone owed him tens of billions.
"Wow!"
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on the table. They were all eager to have a try and almost drooled.
As soon as Elijah turned around, the crowd swarmed towards the table. There was a lively cheer behind him. Elijah felt bored to death as he slumped his shoulders. Two steps behind Elijah, all Hudson felt like doing was hitting the wall with his head.
Feeling bored, Elijah began to wander along the casino. Hudson followed behind him. Just as he turned the corner, an arm suddenly stretched out. In a blink of an eye, Hudson was pulled aside by the casino manager.
"Hudson, what's going on? Shouldn't you let me know in advance so that I can prepare myself?"
The manager pleaded with both hands and even lowered his voice. Did Mr. Luther plan to scare him to death with his constant presence? If this went on, should he be worried about his quarterly achievements?
The manager blinked his eyes with nervousness. With Mr. Luther here every day, he would be so nervous that he would lose his mind!
With a sigh, Hudson also rolled his eyes. "You're asking me? Who can I ask?"
It would be great if he knew!
With a low voice, Hudson's face was filled with unspeakable bitterness. His official business had piled up like a mountain, and he had to come here every day to accompany Mr. Elijah. Was it easy for him?
The problem was that someone's mood seemed to have plummeted to the bottom of the valley recently. He did not dare to ask, nor did he dare to say!
The two of them felt sad. On the other side, Elijah noticed the scene and suddenly recovered from an inexplicable trance. When he felt the eyes of the surrounding crowd, his cold lips twitched,
Why were they so afraid of him? Shouldn't they look at him with admiration?
Many people could not see him even if they wanted to!
They were crazy!
After glancing at them for a while, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "You have fun. I'll just have a look!"
After saying that, everyone remained motionless for a long time. The table remained empty. Elijah's expression was still dark and he pursed his lips unhappily. Then, he turned around and walked away.
Seeing this, Hudson waved his hand and followed Elijah. After pacing around the mahjong tables for a while, Elijah walked towards the door. When he walked out, his heart felt empty yet strangely heavy. That kind of feeling... was indescribable. In short, he was not happy. He was super unhappy.
After that day, Elijah did not set foot in the Eighth Casino, and his life returned to normal.
After a series of back-to-back meetings, Elijah hurriedly returned to the office to pack a bag and got his passport. At the same time, Hudson handed over a file.
"Elijah, the luggage is on the bus. All the information about SOY Starshine is here! The hotel is still the same as last time. I have something else to do. I take the next flight out. The driver will send you to the airport later. I have arranged for a pick-up at the airport for you. See you in Korea!"
"That's right!"
After looking at the time, Elijah hurriedly walked out, "Then I will go first!"
