Chapter 32
The slip had an ‘S‘ written on it, and the one Isabella
picked belonged to Seth.
“The groups are set. Take a seat if there’s nothing
else.” Simon smiled and dragged a chair, then sat
down. He put on a forlorn look. “Guess I’m a lone
wolf.”
“I can switch with Miss Winston. She’s not even

close to Mr. Dunkstein.” Isabella stood up and tried
to change her slip with Selena.

Selena looked delighted. Out of reflex, she handed
her slip to Isabella. “Thank-”
“And you think you’re close?” Someone looked at
Isabella darkly.
Isabella looked up and met Seth’s dark eyes. She
couldn’t say a word. Seth stood up and walked over
to the coffee table. He went up to her and pulled
her into his arms. “Don’t be a sore loser. Going
through hoops just to change teams? What a joke.”
He took Isabella toward the table and sat before
Gordon, then looked at Gordon darkly. “Don’t you
think so, Mr. Dunkstein?”

Gordon frowned, upset that someone else got to
be Isabella’s teammate. Then, he heard Bethany
speak.

“Sit with Mr. Dunkstein, Selena. He’s hot. He’s as good
as Mr. Shaffer, don’t you think?”
Bullsh*t! Even though Isabella was being held by
Seth, she wanted to curse Bethany. He has a face

Gordon was young and susceptible to this little
trick. He thought it would be embarrassing if he
didn’t pair with Selena right away. They’re going to
laugh at me if even that country bumpkin refuses
to pair up with me. He tapped the table and turned
around.

Selena hesitated, and Gordon said, “Sit. This is just a
game.”
Selena couldn’t back away now. She had been
giving Seth looks, but he didn’t respond. She bit her
lip and went to take a seat beside Gordon.
“Finally. You guys are so particular.” Dariel drew in
deep from the cigarette Bethany was holding. He
puffed a ring of smoke and pushed a deck to the
center of the table. “Take your cards.”
The game began. Isabella was feeling uneasy
sitting with Seth. She tried to move away, but Seth
leaned backward and put his hand around her
waist. Lightly, he tapped on her with his finger. “You
do it.”

Is he not even taking the cards himself? He’s so
lazy. Isabella puffed her cheeks and took the cards.
There was nothing but the sound of cards rustling
around the table playing in the air. Bethany would
flirt with Dariel at times, but it was mostly silence.
Isabella and Seth were sitting in the innermost part
of the room. They were hidden, and with the dim
light that clouded this room, nobody could see
