1 The Stolen Heirloom (1/2)
In a private room of a high-end casino, right in the heart of the city, with grey and pale blue wall texture, were four young men and a young woman seated around a mahogany polished desk. They had cards in their hands and clouds on their brows.
Even in their casual attire they undoubtedly looked 'dressed to impress' which was a proof of their origins.
While every man on the table looked rather perplexedly to the man with the turn, the lady on the table seemed bored. She would eventually move her gaze from the cards to the clusters of colors hung on the walls that were the witnesses of ages.
While the man in question would change his reaction with every second which was definitely giving the nerves, after seconds which seemed like centuries, he looked up with knitted brows and an amusedly expression shook his head and gave his boyish smile, laid his card on the table and leaned back on the chair with his hands behind his head.
”Ahh... My dear Qingqing! You really overestimate yourself, let elder brother show you how it's done” He Zheng said and confidently relaxed.”I always knew you were just lucky a couple of time.....”
Su Qing didn't bother replying but instead rolled her eyes and with a 'PAK' threw her cards on the table, that earned a thunder stricken face from He Zheng and a sharp intake of breath from others on the table. Why the hell she was too good with at gambling!
Unlike He Zheng others knew when to give up and left the room, knowing what's going to come. He Zheng came from a humble background as he was an orphan. He was a techno geek. He was practically in relation with his computer, for calling out loud!
”Indeed such a good day!” Not even bothering to collect her winning prize, she dreamily said and with a smug look and a half smirk looked mockingly at He Zheng. ”You taught little too well for your own good Ahhh...” she sighed dramatically. Indeed there was no ecstasy of the prize of the victory but the victory itself was the prize!
Recovering himself He Zheng shouted with rage like a madman, leaving no sign of the jolly man from minutes ago, ”You Bitch! YOU! YoU!... You must have cheated. Yes! You cheated... You horrible woman...”
Su Qing was a second young miss of the prominent Su family. She was from old money. Even though that didn't strain their friendship but his tantrums will not be tolerated!!
Finally losing temper, Scoffing Su Qing raised a brow not a bit affected by the accusation and in deadly cold tone stated, ”You are childish! Throwing Tantrums! Ridiculous..... Why did I even agree to come? This is a fifth game! For the love of GOD just because you don't win, you make me play over and over again!” Slamming her fisted hands on the table, she huffed, intending to leave.
Before she could stand up to leave, 'KNOCK! KNOCK!' They both turned to the door but realizing that it wasn't making noise looked at each other.
'KNOCK! KNOCK!” Finally realizing they both turned to the window, Su Qing stepped forward to open the window, and after getting frozen by astonishment she stepped aside, revealing a masked person with a hoodie hanging on the window of the third floor.
When Su Qing stepped aside a leg with knee-high moto boots came inside and with it in seconds the owner of the boots. Noticing the frozen people the person blinked a couple of time and removed the mask and giggled.
