Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1959

He walked down to the VIP room. Seeing the stunning woman sitting at the table, a flash of pure admiration crossed his eyes.

Tsk.

How could he not have any memory of a woman this gorgeous?

Was she from out of the country?

“Hello, I’m the owner of Sunrise Casino.”

Rocco approached Juniper and extended his hand. “Pardon my intrusion, but may I ask your name, Miss?”

Juniper glanced up, eyeing him from head to toe, before lazily looking away. “If you know it’s an intrusion, why bother asking?”

Rocco was taken aback, but the fact that this beauty had claws only intrigued him more.

He liked that.

Rocco took the dealer’s seat. Sporting a charming smile, he stared intently at Juniper. “I hear you’re looking to play something a little different, gorgeous? How about I keep you company?”

“Sure.”

Juniper unwrapped a lollipop, popped it into her mouth, and flashed an innocent smile. “Mr. Rocco, right? My luck is pretty good. If I win big, you aren't going to lock the doors and trap me here, are you?”

“Hahaha...”

Rocco laughed out loud. He ran the biggest operation in the city, pulling in billions in daily revenue. Why would he ever be afraid of losing money?

Not to mention, this girl didn't look like she had the brains to win anyway.

“Don't worry. There are cameras everywhere. Everything here is strictly fair and square.”

Rocco offered a predatory, surface-level smile. “Likewise, if you lose, I hope you won't throw a tantrum.”

“Heh. *(Cry my ass.)*” Juniper gave a faint smile, her voice lazy. “Let’s continue.”

The dealer dealt the new hand.

Juniper picked up her cards, glanced at them, and immediately tossed a few chips in.

It was a small bet, just one million.

Seeing her obvious hesitation, completely incapable of hiding her tells, Rocco was absolutely certain her hand was garbage.

As the house, he raised the call to two million.

Juniper pretended to think deeply before timidly calling the two million.

“Five million.”

Looking at the naive little rabbit sitting across from him, Rocco casually threw down five million.

Juniper hesitated, then 'reluctantly' matched the five million. “That’s enough, that’s enough. I’m not raising anymore.”
