Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 594

Carla and Violet intended to play as partners, so even though there was only one vacant seat, it was already enough for them.

After a long while of looking for an available seat across the floors of the casino, Carla finally managed to find one. However, just as she was about to take it, someone else occupied the seat ahead of them.

"I'm sorry, this seat's already taken," a woman told her.

Sizing her up from head to toe, Carla noticed that the woman was wearing a tight-fitting dress with a slit on one side, which accentuated her sophisticated grace as a charming woman. She proceeded to take a seat after beaming Carla a smile.

"Damn it! She took our seat just like that even though we spent a lot of time trying to find one! Isn't she aware of the rule 'First come, first served'?"

Violet was so upset as she glared at the woman, visibly gritting her teeth in anger.

"It's not that big of a deal. Don't let it get to you. After all, this is a casino, and it's just one seat at the gambling table, so just try not to mind it. We'll find another seat eventually,"

Carla tried to calm her down and was already about to leave in order to look for another seat. But before she could go, the woman stopped them in their tracks.

"Wait just a second, you two gals. You don't have to be in such a hurry to leave. If you could just wait for me right here for 5 minutes, I can assure you that there'll be at least 1 seat available for you," she remarked.

Hearing the woman say something like that, three men who were sitting away from each other around the same table glanced at her one by one.

Quite an attitude this woman had!

"It's totally up to you if you're gonna believe me or not. But I would recommend that you stay and watch for a while. So, what do you say?"

The woman suggested, wearing an enticing smile on her face, as she lit up a cigarette and drew a bunch of cards.

"Violet, how about we just wait here and see how the game is played? It's going to be of great help knowing the rules, right?" Carla told Violet who was standing right beside her.

Without saying anything, Violet nodded her head in agreement. Given that there were no seats available, it wouldn't hurt to stay for a bit and watch the others play.

Because there were a number of ways of playing poker, Carla wasn't familiar with the rules that had to be followed. For that reason, Violet acted like a teacher and whispered in her ears to explain how the game was played.

"The game they're playing is called 'Bullfight', a version of poker which is actually kind of easy to understand. The players are going to be dealt 5 cards. Each card has a value from 1 to 10, and the face cards all stand for 10 as well. In the end, they will have to compete with the banker. The winner is decided based on who holds the cards that have the largest value," Violet explained.

She had stayed in JA City for a couple of years. Even though she rarely frequented the casinos in the area, she had already played this game before in private with her workmates.

Carla was all ears as Violet was talking. However, the woman's cards were kept face down on the table so there was no way for her to see her cards.

"Her style of playing is called 'covered cards', which means she will be paid double if she wins. But, I would like you to know that this way, she could lose twice the money as well. So, it's high risk and high return,"

Violet went on and added, glancing at the man next to her who had already revealed his hand.

"Are you getting it so far? Were you able to see what card he was holding?"

Violet whispered under her breath.

Looking at the man sitting close to her, Carla gestured toward Violet the number 8.

"Nice! You catch on real quick! Just keep that up and you'll do just fine! Still, there are a lot more tricks you need to know about, but you'll figure it out as you play more," Violet exclaimed, praising her for being a fast learner.

Soon, two of the players threw their cards to fold, leaving one guy, who was broad in the beam, to keep playing his hand.

When it reached this point, Carla watched as the woman flicked the ash off of her cigarette in a leisurely manner, moving more of her chips toward the center of the table.

Looking down his nose at the woman, the plump guy quickly pushed his chips to the pot and went all-in.

The most thrilling part of the game was about to come. The woman took a quick puff and revealed her flop one at a time with her elegant hand decorated with sexy purple nail polish.

"Oh, my! What a surprise! That was a good start for me! Today must be my lucky day!"

The woman gave off a cunning smile as she turned to look at the plump guy, "It's your turn to show your hand now!"

Realizing that the total point of his cards was 8, while that of the woman was 9, the fat guy threw his cards out of frustration and had no choice but to accept that he had a stroke of bad luck. He sprung up from his seat immediately and took his leave.

After that, the woman waved at Carla to invite her to take the vacant seat.

"Come here, sweetie. You can take this seat. With this, I've fulfilled my promise," she said to her.

Politely smiling back at her, Carla went ahead and sat down and expressed her admiration, "It looks like you're quite the veteran, but we're just a bunch of newcomers who come here to have a bit of fun, so, would you be so kind as to take it easy on us?"

"Sure! No worries! We can just start with small chips,"

the woman replied as a smile crept onto her face. The way she moved, even from her simple gestures and expressions, exuded such charm. And despite appearing somewhat provocative, she didn't seem like the type who was being supported by a man.

She simply looked like a woman who had been blessed with that innate charm.
