Chap 34 Loser Takes Off T
2/9
Isabella regretted her earlier decision. She realized
she had just dragged herself into this mess. One
little movement, and she could rub her back on
Seth’s chest. Goosebumps were flaring all over her.
“Ooh, he’s hot.” Bethany held her hands together
before her chest, her eyes sparkling. She teased,
“How do you feel?”
Isabella feigned calmness and shuffled the deck.
“Play all your good combos, lose the game, and
you’ll know.”
“Someone’s a schemer.” Dariel clicked his tongue
and smirked at Isabella.
Isabella’s throat was parched. Her hands were
sweating too, but she kept up her mask of

calmness and showed no sign of nervousness. She
finished shuffling her deck and looked at Gordon.
“You first, Mr. Dunkstein.”
Gordon wasn’t close to these people. One game,
and he knew he was sidelined, and that annoyed
him. The moment Isabella spoke to him, however,
the look on his face changed. Everyone could see
that Isabella was trying to cajole him, and they had
weird looks on their faces.
Bethany made a face, whereas Dariel gave a fake
smile. Simon was as gentlemanly as ever, while
Selena was careful not to speak out. Seth was
holding Isabella, his lips pursed, his face deadpan.
They were just close to each other, not doing
anything more than that. However, when they

started taking cards once more, Seth turned to his
side and brushed his lips over Isabella’s ear. It was
quick enough that nobody else noticed it.
Isabella clenched her teeth. She held back her
emotions and continued taking the cards. However,
Seth got into it a little. He would touch her from
time to time, squeeze her finger when they were
playing, and kiss her ear if he could. Whenever he
leaned back, he would pinch her waist.
Dang it! Isabella took a deep breath. When Bethany
was gasping after Dariel got the biggest card in the
deck, she stomped Seth’s foot.
Seth grunted, and everyone looked at him. Dariel
clicked his tongue and gave Seth a knowing look.

“It’s just a suit. You don’t have to be this excited.”
Seth looked calm, evidently unfazed. He took the
last card and tossed three twos onto the table.
“Take your suit off and see if you get excited.”
Dariel faked a sigh and kissed Bethany’s cheek. “Do
we have enough to counter this, babe?”
They were flirting openly, and everyone ignored
them. Isabella removed her foot from Seth’s, feeling
a lot better. However, she quickly got chills from the
surge of coldness coming from her waist. Seth
pulled her shirt up and slid his hand inside,
touching her waist. He has no shame at all.
“Three of spades.” She moved forward as she
played her card, evading Seth.
