Justin cast a helpless glance at Alexis," She should prefer to be with you now."
"Lettie, if you continue to neglect me, I'll be crying!"
Scarlett smiled faintly, "Let's go."
They checked into the most fabulous hotel in the country. There was a grand casino inside it. It was convenient for them to have fun there.
When the three entered the casino, it was still early, but there were many people inside.
It was the first time for them all to come to a casino. Alexis was stunned by the luxurious decoration as soon as she got
into the casino.
"Oh my God! Do you think those golden pillars are real gold?"
Scarlett couldn't help but laugh at her question, "You can go bite it and see."
Alexis shook her head, "There are too many people here. It's inappropriate."
Scarlett didn't anticipate Alexis was actually going to bite the pillars. It seemed she had overestimated Alexis. There were all sorts of ways to make money at a casino. And surely, one may get bankrupt overnight with bad luck.
It was warm inside the casino. When Justin went to exchange the chips, Alexis took her jacket off. Then she tried to pull off Scarlett’s shawl. "Lettie, aren't you hot?"
Scarlett stopped her. "I'm fine. I don't feel hot."
Alexis pulled her shawl but she didn't pull it off. She looked up and saw Scarlett looking at her with a faint smile. She shrugged and stopped pulling her shawl.
Soon, Justin returned with the chips. Three hundred thousand dollars hadn't exchanged many chips.
Alexis had learned something about the games at a casino before they came. She wouldn't play complicated games. But she would like to try something simple, like trying her luck with those coin-operated machines.
Justin got the chips. Alexis grabbed Scarlett's hand and tried to take her to a nearby machine. But Scarlett broke free from her grip. "Go with Justin! I want to
play over there."
Scarlett pointed to a distant card table. People should be playing Baccarat over there. Baccarat was easy. Players held three cards each and bet on whose cards would have the highest number, KQJ and 10 counting as zeros. The one with the highest number was the winner.
Alexis was not sure. "You're going there alone. Is that okay?" She glanced at the table. Most were guys at the table. Alexis looked at Scarlett's face. Somehow, she felt worried.
