Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 396

Marcus played round after round of billiards with his friends while chatting happily with them. Whenever Rayna tried to speak to him, he pretended not to hear her and continued with his game.

A long time later, she eventually realized he was making a fool of her. Right from the start, he never intended to spare her some time to talk.

Seeing how smug Marcus looked from defeating his friend, Rayna swiveled her eyes around, and an idea struck her. “You’re really skilled at billiards, Mr. Marcus!” she complimented as she walked over to him.

“It’s so-so, I suppose.” Marcus finally flashed her a glance and asked, “What about it? Do you play as well?”

“Yeah. I took lessons last time.” Smiling, she requested a cue stick from an attendant and suggested, “Mr. Marcus, if you don’t mind, may I play one match with you?”

“Haha, sure!”

After getting an affirmative answer from Marcus, Rayna seized the opportunity and added, “Why don’t we add some excitement to the game? I will give you ten million if I lose.”

“Oh?” Marcus’ interest was piqued. Arching an eyebrow, he asked, “It sounds too good to be true. Is there a catch?”

With a twinkle in her eyes, she leaned against her cue stick. It was a picturesque sight to behold. “I think losing ten million is worth it as long as I can play a match with you.”

Those words pleased him greatly. “What happens if you win, Ms. Garland?” he asked.

“If I am lucky enough to win, I hope that you will give me two minutes of your time.”

“Sure, we have a deal!” Marcus agreed at once, thinking that he had gotten the good end of the bargain. “Since you’re a lady, I shall let you decide on the type of game.”

“Don’t mind if I do!” Rayna smiled. “How about we play a match of snooker?”

He then beckoned the attendant over and instructed, “Set up the table for snooker.”

“Yes, sir.”
