Chapter 36
“She is definitely something to be able to hang out with Melody Stryder.” Rebecca
shot a glance at the woman next to Tina as she quietly explained, “Melody is the granddaughter of one of the ministers in Norfolk who has just retired-Mr. Stryder. If you can hang out with her, you don’t have to worry about your connections.”
Sonia had seldom mingled in society
before this, so she did not know many
people in the business circle, let alone
folks from another city. No wonder Tina
has drastically lowered her stance.
Tina’s background was nothing to a figure
like Melody
“Oh, so you’re President Fuller’s ex-wife?”
Melody shot a disdainful glance at Sonia without a slightest trace of respect at all. “Since we have all met each other, let’s have a few rounds of games together. Are you willing to join us?”
Let alone poker, Sonia did not even want to
talk to Tina
However, Sonia had learned how to read
people’s facial expressions after suffering in Jean’s hands over the years. As soon as Melody started speaking, she knew that this was not a person whom she could
cross
“Of course. The person we are waiting for is only arriving at 10:00 PM.”Sonia was
well aware that she was nothing at this
moment. Hence, she did not want to be in
a situation where she was bullied by
Melody just because she had annoyed Melody. I’m not good at poker, though. I hope you don’t mind.”
Melody merely shorted before she left in her high heels.
“Don’t worry. It’s just for passing the time.” It was only after Melody left that Tina
dared to speak. “If you really can’t play,
we’ll go easy on you.”
Tina had learned from her friends that
Sonia lost hundreds of thousands when
she played poker with Mr. King from
Dwells.
According to the waiter, Sonia was just a
beginner who could not even play poker.
I’m definitely taking my revenge for the
annor felt at the match etara in the
anger i felt at the watch store in the afternoon!
Sonia smiled. “Thanks, Miss Gray.”
While walking with Sonia to the private
room, Rebecca asked quietly, “President
Reed, are you really bad at poker? Why
didn’t you reject them? I think she thinks of
you as an enemy. What if she lays a trap for you while you are playing with them?”
“She already laid the trap when we met
earlier. Melody is obvious on Tina’s side.
Even if she lays a trap later, I have to
knowingly walk into it.”
Rebecca shot her a glance. “Oh! You are
too miserable!”
