Chapter 1033
The
dealer approached the table where he picked up the cup containing the dice and proceeded to shake it,
all done in a swift, professional presentation.
Bang.
The cup clapped against the table.
The host announced with a vibrant smile, “Everyone, please take your guess.”
Everyone exchanged blank looks for a few seconds before picking up the signs laid in front of them on t
he table.
There was a varying number of guesses.
Sylvia glanced around the room before turning to Odell.
Odell was staring back at her. He suddenly asked her, “What do you think?”
Sylvia answered blankly, “I don‘t know.”
She had very little experience.
Odell said, “Just make a guess.”
To this, Sylvia answered, “I don‘t want to.”
She never signed up for this so she did not want to guess.
What if she got blamed for getting it wrong?
Odell peered into her eyes and flashed a faint smile before
holding up a certain sign on the table.
The sign he held up had the number four written on it.
Sylvia frowned.
She swiped a look across the room. She could tell most of the participants were regulars here and they
all guessed different numbers. Why was Odell taking such a risk?
That was when she noticed John holding up a sign that read four as well.
She did not know what to make of this.
The dealer finally lifted the cup to reveal the number on the dice. It was four.
The host announced, “Congratulations , Master Carter, Master Stockton, and these three gentlemen ov
er here.”
Sylvia blinked sporadically.
Did Odell get it right at last?
She stared at him.
Odell looked back at her, the shallow corners of his lips curled into a dazzling smile.
It was as if to say that this was all within his realm of expectations.
Sylvia pursed her lips and ignored him.
He just got lucky
The second round followed after.
The dealer placed the cup on the table.
Again, everyone lifted the sign according to their choice.
Again, Odell‘s number was different from most of the others.
John held up the same number as him. It was as if he was just choosing whatever Odell chose.
The dealer lifted the cup and presented the number underneath.
Again, Odell was correct.
Sylvia was baffled and looked at Odell in utter disbelief.
He never even got it right once when he played against John, and now he had it right twice in a row?
Was he intentionally making the wrong guess back then?
Perhaps the stars just happened to align. His luck would run out soon.
Over the next three rounds, the number of the dice was three, four, and six respectively.
The sign Odell held up for each turn was also three, four, and six.
Every round, John would wait for Odell to raise his sign before raising the same number as him.
Odell got it right on every single round.
Everyone looked at him with veneration.
Many of them tried to sucker up to him. “Master Carter, you‘re
amazing at this.”
“Master Carter is a veteran at this game.”
Odell only smirked and darted a glance at Sylvia.
A self–satisfied grin greeted his handsome face.
Sylvia shot a look at him.
It may be nothing but a coincidence in the
first few rounds but now that he had five in a row, she had to admit
that he had a particular talent at this game!
How did this explain that he never even got it right once when he played against John earlier?
He must have done it on purpose, knowing that the punishment
for losing was that he had to kiss her!
