In the blink of an eye, five people had raised their hands.
Walliot deliberately did not raise his hand immediately but instead, he waited until these people had eagerly come forward before saying, "Count me in too, then."
After he was done speaking, he looked at Charlie, and just as he was wondering what he should say to trick Charlie into playing the game, Charlie then took the initiative to raise his hand and said, "I also like to play Texas Hold'em Poker. Count me in."
Walliot was so excited that he almost cheered out loud.
'I was just trying to find an entry point to invite
Charlie to join in this ruse as naturally as I possibly could, but I really did not expect Charlie to jump into it on his own.'
'Perfect!'
After that, Walliot pretended to be polite as he said, "M r. Wade, I really did not expect that you would like to play Texas Hold'em Poker too. In that case, we should play two rounds together for entertainment purposes, then."
Charlie also had a friendly expression on his face as h e said, "Haha! Mr. Walliot, you’re right. We will just play for entertainment! I have no other hobbies, and I
usually like to play cards during my free time. I enjoy playing although my poker skills are very bad! I basically have to lose two or three billion dollars every year just by playing cards."
Walliot felt extremely happy in his heart, but he still smiled and said, "It seems as though we are the same! I'm also very bad at poker, but I especially love to play! I'll lose a lot of money as tuition fee every year."
Charlie was totally unconcerned as he said, "We are all young people. So, of course the most important thing i s to have fun! So what if we were to lose a little money?"
Olivia smiled happily as she said, "Since everyone wants to play, I will also accompany all of you to play two games, then!"
After saying that, Olivia then added, "Why don't we move to the second floor? There is a leisure center there, and it just so happens that there is also a card table there.”
