“Money’s kind of boring as stakes.” Isabella rested her chin in her hand, changing the subject.

Everyone looked at her, and Bethany’s eyes shone.
Chapter 33 Loser Strips
“So, what are we going to put on the line?”
Isabella crossed her arms and suggested softly,
“Why don’t we play a stripping game? Loser strips.”
Bethany replied, “But-”
“Only the men will strip.” Isabella smiled, ignoring
the glares she was getting. She turned to Simon.
“Good luck, Mr. Gates.”
“That’s a good idea.” Bethany clapped her hands
and swayed Dariel’s arm. “You’re a hunk, honey. You
don’t mind, do you?”
Dariel patted her head. He smiled, but he looked at
Isabella. “That’s a… good idea, Miss Symons.” He
stuck his tongue out at Seth. “Mr. Shaffer’s well–built

too. Taking a piece of clothing or two off is nothing.”
Seth leaned backward and tapped the edge of the
table lightly. He said calmly, “Don’t be so sure about
winning.”
He’s agreeing to this, I see.
Bethany cheered, then turned to Gordon. “You’re
well–built too, Mr. Dunkstein. You don’t mind, do
you?”
Gordon held Selena in his arms. He looked calm. “I
don’t care,”
“I am not a good player, though.” Selena looked
dejected. She said, “Why don’t we…”
“It’s not like you’re the one stripping. It’s me.” Gordon
hated it when women got up to their hesitant
antics. Even if Selena was pretty, it still annoyed
him. Even before the game began, he regretted
switching Isabella out.
Selena was embarrassed that she was snapped at
and she turned red. No one cared what she felt
Meanwhile, Bethany and Dariel were hyping things
game to start.
“Does anyone have a three of spades?” Dariel
looked at everyone.
Simon tossed a three of spades out. The game
began.

The ones going after him were Seth and Isabella.

Seth was going to pull a card and play it. Before he
could do so, Isabella played all four kings. “Boom.”
Silence fell. Seth huffed, but it was so quiet that it
could be mistaken for a breath.
“That’s not how you play this game.” Dariel cocked
his eyebrow and mocked, “Unless you’re a patsy,
that is.” Only idiots would trump the card with the
least value using four kings. Either that, they’re
doing it on purpose.
Isabella rested her chin in her hand and turned to
Seth. She was smiling, but it didn’t reach her eyes.
“Oh, it’s nothing in the grand scheme of things.”
“It’s so obvious you want to see Mr. Shaffer strip.”

Bethany gave her a knowing look. She held Dariel’s
arm tightly. “I wanna see you strip too, Dariel.” She
drew a few cards from Dariel’s hand and tossed
them out. “Boom.”
Everyone fell silent.
