A One Night Stand With My Boss (by Ela Osaretin) novel Chapter 195

Sunday, Passos Estate.

"Ha!" With a shout, Emily pushed aside the cards in front of her, their crisp sound echoing through the room.

Emily was on a winning streak today, having won several games in a row.

"I lost again..." Rita lamented as she closed her deck. "If we keep playing, I might end up leaving all my pocket money here this month."

"Consider it a tribute to your aunt," Evelyn looked up and smiled at Rita. "I hear your bar is doing quite well. Rita’s learning the ropes of business."

"That bar of hers is just a hobby," Victoria said with a helpless smile from the side, "She roped Connor into investing, and who knows when they'll break even."

Mrs. Weiss tapped lightly on the table, her eyes twinkling with mischief. "What the son invests, the mother reclaims."

"Ha ha ha ha!" Mrs. Kent laughed in her uniquely husky voice from across.

"Mom, you play." Rita pouted, pulling on Victoria’s arm. "This round's on you. I’m going to find Connor."

"You lose and dump it on me," Victoria rolled her eyes.

Rita giggled twice and looked at Emily. "Aunt Emily, is Connor in the study?"

"Yes, go find him," Emily said calmly as she arranged her cards. "He’s been there since dinner."

Rita pulled Victoria to her spot, resolutely stating, "Mom, it’s all on you now!"

Victoria shook her head in resignation. "What on earth did I give birth to."

Rita patted her bottom and ran off. She reached the second-floor study and knocked before entering.

Connor put down the document he was reading and looked up. "Weren’t you playing cards? What are you doing here?"

His face showed a knowing smile, "Lost money?"

Rita huffed, "No, I remembered something important to discuss with you."
