Life at the Top

Sebastian watched the entire incident unfold before his eyes. He silently mocked Hayes for being a sore loser. Nevertheless, he was now completely relieved about this round. All traces of doubt in his heart had completely disappeared.

The round continued till late into the evening. Throughout this period, the expression on Sebastian’s face gradually darkened.

What goes around comes around. He was starting to lose money now.

It was as if a spell had been cast on him. All the cards he had were all low-ranking. He hardly had any high-ranking cards. His opponent could either have higher-ranking cards than him, or completely give up on the game.

Meanwhile, the money by his side continued to dwindle. He had more than 20 million dollars during his peak, and now there was only a measly 100000 dollars left.

“Oh, my good luck is here,” Hayes chuckled. He spread out his cards. His cards were of the highest rank; He had won the round.

Sebastian lost all the remaining money that he had.

Hayes lit a cigarette in satisfaction. “Chairman Walker, are you out of money? What do you say, should we just end here?” He asked Sebastian.

Sebastian unbuttoned the buttons around his collar harshly and said in distaste, “I’m just having a spat of bad luck. What are you being so proud of? I won all this money from you guys a few days ago, don’t you remember? I’m just returning some of it to you right now!”

Sebastian then pulled out a cheque book from his coat. He filled in a cheque and slammed it onto the table. “Here’s a 20 million dollar check! I’ll exchange it with someone that has cash!” He announced through gritted teeth.
