Chapter 616: Chapter 597: Creating Opportunities_2
“Um, I’ll be your secretary.” Cherish Turner interrupted soone for the first ti.
Hailey Griffith felt elated, took that photo out of the fra, and held it up to her, “Start tomorrow. A deal’s a deal!”
“What deal?” At this mont, Hailey ca over, with William Griffith trailing behind her.
Cherish Turner tucked the photo quietly into her pocket. Hailey casually said, “Cherish agreed to play cards with
after dinner! Want in? The loser has to strip!”
“Cards? Strip?” Hailey bellowed in surprise, finding this hard to believe. How was this possible? Cherish was always proper, had no interests in the club activities and even refrained from playing the Kings’ ga during their gatherings. Now she had agreed to the boring “strip poker” ga?
Seeing her disbelief, Yannis Griffith, with a cheeky grin, slung an arm around Cherish’s shoulder, “Hey Cherish, aren’t you going to tell them about our deal?”
Cherish squeezed the pocket holding the photo, feeling the fabric against it. She had no choice but to nod in embarrassnt.
“No way! Big brother! You’ve done sothing! Tell ! What did you do to make Cherish play this awful ga!” Hailey scurried over to him, firmly believing that he had forced Cherish.
William Griffith didn’t mind playing cards. It was the strip part he frowned upon. And seeing Yannis Griffith’s arm around her seed quite offensive. He walked over to them, gently took hold of Cherish, and shielded her from the wolf in sheep’s clothing. Then whispered, “Did you make a deal with him?”
“Yes, we did.” Cherish felt stuck.
“See? Even Cherish said so! I didn’t force her!” Yannis Griffith bellowed.
Hailey shot him a disdainful look.
“So big bro, are you in?” Yannis Griffith started convincing people to join him, but he already knew his brother William Griffith wouldn’t say no.
William typically didn’t play such gas, at least not since middle school. But now, shifting his gaze from Cherish, he cast a lukewarm look at Hailey and muttered, “Sure, whatever.”
“Okay, you are in! Just one more to go!” Yannis Griffith quickly changed his focus and grinned at Hailey, “We’re one short. I’ll just let you join us! How about it? Are you in?”
“Master Griffith, Master William, Miss Hailey, Miss Turner, dinner is served.” The housekeeper standing outside the study whispered.
Hailey turned and walked off, declaring firmly, “No.”
“Hey! What is wrong with you? Everyone else is playing. Why aren’t you?”
“So annoying, Yannis, you’re like a pestering fly. Big bro already has a girlfriend, when will you bring one ho!”
“Did you just call
a what?”
“A fly!”
Yannis chased after Hailey as she stord out. William, sitting by Cherish, leaned in and whispered, “Let’s have dinner.”
Dinner was a little more cordial. Robert Griffith didn’t say much. Grandma Griffith kept encouraging Cherish to eat more. Yannis was in high spirits and ate with gusto. Hailey deliberately ignored his presence. William ate in silence. Occasionally, he would glance at Cherish across the table. Her radiant smiles made the al more enjoyable.
After dinner, the group moved to the sitting room.
“It’s about ti. Let’s play cards.” Yannis Griffith glanced at the clock and urged.
Everyone got up apart from Hailey, the only girl of the group and naturally hesitant. In case she actually had to strip, how awkward it would be, especially in front of her brothers.
Yannis Griffith reached out for help, “Cherish, we can’t play with one person missing.”
Cherish rarely took the initiative to invite, she softly said, “Hailey, co play with us. What do you say?”
After Cherish’s request, Hailey had no choice but to agree.
The fourso relocated to a room on the third floor.
This was Hailey’s bedroom. Cherish only knew how to play Hearts, so they brought out two decks of cards and simply sat on the carpet to play. The draw resulted in Yannis and William in one team, and Cherish and Hailey in another. Yannis was, naturally, grinning ear to ear. He leaned over to William and said, “Don’t let
down!”
William sat cross-legged, expressionless.
Yannis was already plotting. He thought, “I need to create a peaceful opportunity for them!”
The first ga began. Hailey called for Spades. Cherish’s hand was also full of spades, and they coincidentally played well together. Both of them dominated and scored the most points. Hailey looked at the n and smirked, “I nominate Yannis, you can start stripping now, right?”
Yannis cursed under his breath and had to take off his blazer.
The second ga began and the won won again.
Hailey nudged Cherish’s arm. She glanced between the two n and said hesitantly, “I also nominate Yannis.”
“Why
again!” Yannis had to take off the last bit of his clothing, his shirt, revealing a muscular upper body. He wasn’t embarrassed. Rather, it was Cherish who lowered her gaze in embarrassnt.
They began the third ga. This ti William won. Yannis Griffith leaned in close again, “I should let you know, pick your own woman.”
“Hailey.” William looked up at Cherish and cringed at the thought of her fair skin exposed. He called Hailey’s na in a deep voice. Under Yannis’s astonished gaze, Hailey gracefully took off her jacket.
The fourth ga, the fifth ga…
After the nth ga, the situation took a turn. The two n were left with just their underwear, while the won were still dressed, except for their jackets. After the last ga, both won ca out on top. Hailey was pleased with herself, “Hey, you two, who wants to take off the last bit?”
