"So what? She's still losing. The more people join, the more money she loses."
Katie smiled. "Gustavo, since when have you become so impatient? Even if you don't believe her, you should believe me."
Gustavo pursed his lips. "If she loses money tonight, I'm gonna fire her."
"Fine."
Gustavo thought Rose was too conceited. How could she let a rookie become a dealer without any training? More and more people came to Rose's table. Some secretly said, "The new dealer is a fool. She doesn't know how to play it at all."
"Really? I'm gonna try with her."
As they said, Rose lost every round. As the number of punters grew, a look of chagrin appeared on her face.
The professional dealer should be expressionless. This new girl obviously hadn't been trained. Many punters smiled meaningfully at her expression.
"Show hand."
"Me, too"
Everyone threw their chips on the table, wondering how much they would win.
Just when everyone thought they were gonna win, Rose showed her cards.
"How is this possible?"
"We lost, we all lost."
Rose won back all the money she had lost.
"It must have been an accident. I want another game."
No one believed that this silly girl won so much. Rose's expression became more and more serious.
"She's a good student. Gustavo, you believe her now?" Katie chuckled. Rose had only been studying it for a day, but she'd got the hang of it. Maybe she was cut to be a dealer.
"So she had been acting before?"
"Of course. She did that to attract some stupid gamblers. She lost every round, but she didn't lose much, and she won it all back in the last round.
"She played dumb so those greedy gamblers would come to her table. The real game has just started."
As Katie expected, Rose started winning. She always gave everyone the feeling that she was going to lose, but she didn't.
Many stubborn people refused to leave her table.
They swore to win, but in the end Rose took all their money.
It was three o'clock in the morning. There was no one at Rose's table, but she'd got tons of chips.
"What do you think?" Katie asked Gustavo with a smile.
"Well, you're right. She is terrific. She can go to the second floor tomorrow."
"Thank you, Gustavo."
Seeing that Katie was about to leave, Gustavo stopped her. "Katie, she had a gift. Aren't you worried that she's gonna be your competition?"
"Gustavo, this girl is smart, but I'm not a pushover. What's more, she said she wouldn't be a dealer forever. She will leave when she gets the money for her mom's surgery."
"You think so? Katie, I just want to remind you that the anniversary is coming soon. The best dealer can be the big boss's date. You..."
"You don't have to remind me. I will never give this chance to anyone else, including her."
"That's more like it."
Katie walked towards Rose. "Girl, you earned a lot, didn't you?"
