Chapter 167 Gambit Finished The woman holding the glass froze awkwardly in mid air .
her carefully manicured fingers trembling slightly around the crystal rim .
A man in a garish floral shirt , the one they called Mr.
Max , chuckled loudly , Our Lennox is practically the Sonala Bars signboard ! She rarely serves anyone personally .
Only someone of Mr.
Grahams status could warrant such attention.
Fraser exhaled a slow stream of smoke , his voice dripping with disinterest as he tapped ashes into the hematite tray .
Is that 50 Lennox forced a practiced smile , though her knuckles whitened around the forgotten glass .
Mr.
Max always exaggerates .
Since this is Mr.
Grahams first visit to our humble establishment , its only fitting that I fulfill my duties as hostess .
With deliberate grace , she placed the untouched drink back on the table and folded her hands demurely in her lap .
maintaining just enough distance to appear respectful without appearing rejected .
Summers gaze inadvertently drifted to the head seat where Fraser held court , only to collide violently with eyes so dark they seemed to absorb all the light in the room .
Her breath caught .
In that split second of contact , something electric crackled between them before Summer , like a child caught stealing cookies , snapped her attention back to the playing cards fanned across the lacquered table .
At least this is better than drinking myself into a stupor , she thought , forcing her fingers to stop trembling as she rearranged the cards .
Jamess earlier words echoed in her mind .
If you can entertain Mr.
Graham , Ill let your company go straight to the finals .
Summers lips pressed into a thin line ..
Which probably means Fraser will only be entertained if I humiliate myself by losing .
The group had chosen to play a deceptively simple bluff game called the Cowards Gambit .
Each player drew a card face down .

At each turn , one could challenge another to reveal higher numbers , forcing lower ones to accept increasingly embarrassing dares .
On the very first round , the deck betrayed them all when Frasers long fingers revealed the King of Kings , the highest possible card in the game .
The table erupted in raucous applause .
Wow ! Mr.
Graham gets to punish whoever he wants ! Fraser toyed with the gilded card between his sculpted fingers , the edges catching the chandelier light as he lazily pointed it first at Summer , causing her heart to lurch painfully against her ribs .
Asshole ! He doesnt really want to punish me that much , right ? At least weve had a ser relationship before.
The mans finger paused , he hooked his lips in a smile , and he drew a line next to Summer , pointing at James .
James blinked owlishly , his alcohol soaked face paling several shades .
Just a harmless game Frasers smile didnt reach his eyes as he leaned back into the plush sofa · Chapter 167 Gambit Had I somehote mulied the Bossment ) Folumered braz The crowd , smelling blood in the water had already begin a Quickly Drink up , drink up , big men dont ink Jamess face looked like he had eaten a pile of poop Merry tugged urgently at Summers sleeve whispering behind her hand .

No , hes not that kind .
Summer said .
Even if he did he would claim interest from m James closed his eyes , his heart crossed , picked up a bottle of imported wine and jar gulped in dow After drinking a bottle of foreign wine , he put down the empty bottle and continued to dims again Someone started taking pictures .
At the fourth bottle of wine .
Suddenly, there was a thud sound .
Jamess fat body just couldnt handle it and fell to the ground The little girl in the short skirt immediately ran to his sade and patted him .
Mr.
James , Mr.
James .
Its not working : Mr.
Jamess nose and mouth seem to be bubbling white .
Those present were all group bosses or sons of wealthy families , with similar status to James and many even higher than him .
Who would care what happened to him Not to mention it was a punishment handpicked by Mr Graham .
This bit of wine was just a stomach wash , and even if he died .
Fraser would be there to cover it .
Someone said impatiently .
Then ask someone to carry him to the hospital ; you cant just fall over and take care of him .
When the people left , the next game continued to start .
The table continued to deal the cards .
Summer saw that Janies had already been carried away , so there was little point in them staying here At the game resumed with Jamess departure , Summer leaned toward Merry .
Were leaving after this round .
Their comperiation was just finished .
Then they heard the man called Mr.
Max in a floral shirt directly pointing to Summers card .
Summers eyes moved slightly , slowly lifting the cardboard into a corner .
Merry saw it from the side and drew a breath .
