My Ex Secretary's
Chapter 88: Defeat and Knowledge
'It seems I have to choose that one' Luna said inwardly.
"All right, I accept" Luan smiled and handed her card to Joe. Sitting back in his chair and taking off his book jacket, revealing his pure white skin. White, chewy and soft made everyone look at him wildly like a predatory animal.
This time the card game was played back but because the masked man was challenging made him choose what card game he wanted on this green table.
"What about Poker?" ask the masked man.
"Alright" Luna replied briefly.
Poker is a basic card game where in the hand there will be 5 cards. Poker itself has many versions such as 5-Card Draw, 5-Card Stud, Omaha Hold’em, Razz, Texas Hold’em, Pineapple and also 7-Card Stud. Games that have value numbers such as King, Queen, Jack and others.
Games with common sense and luck in taking or discarding cards. A game that can be won easily if the person holding the card can do it reliably.
"Alright let's start the second game again" said the dealer and shuffled all his cards.
Divide 5 to each player and the rest is placed in the middle. Disposal, taking is played every second and minute. When everything is ready with their flagship card they quickly take out the card they have.
"Four of a kind" said Luna briefly and threw all her cards on the table. Four of a kind is the card that has the second highest position. Cards that are difficult to get out and require greatness of the hand in taking them (tactics).
"It looks like we're going to talk for 8 hours miss" the masked man smirked and pulled out his card. The card is a Straight Flush, a card with a first position. Straight Flush cards are very difficult to remove because in the card there are aces, Kings, Queens, Jacks and cards with the number 10.
An absolute win for those who put out this card. The highest card and the very best lucky card.
"It seems my hunch is right" cold Luna. He had thought about it earlier if he won he could award his two children a good weapon and if he lost his luck he only spoke 8 hours with the person in front of him. If not for the lucrative offer it would have been impossible for Luna to willingly waste her most precious time.
"Then please come here miss" said an aide preparing Luna. But Luna walked differently from them and chose to approach Joe. Luna whispered something to Joe.
"Keep my card and tell them I'll be late" whispered Luna.
"Be careful Luna, remember if there's anything call me. However, you still have to complete the mission of the military" whispered Joe.
"Hmm" Luna replied briefly and walked back towards the people waiting for her. Enter the elevator and go to the 3rd floor which is the most premium lodging place. As the elevator clinks Luna exits the elevator while following the money masked person beats her.
They entered the room and left two people in the room. The windows of the rooms were deliberately open making the night wind blow around them. The silence of the night reflects their present state. Silence, no one spoke and there was only the sound of their breathing in the room.
Accompanied by a ticking clock, a short needle that had not been perfect became perfect and pointed towards the number 10.00 pm. That clock started Luna's conversation with the man in front of her.
"Do you know why I'm willing to make such a bet?" ask the masked man.
"If I answer a lie maybe because you are interested in me but if I answer honestly you recognize me from this voice" Luna replied coldly.
"It turns out you're Mr. Leonex Martin" coldly stared at Leon. The masked man took off his mask and showed a face that had to be beautiful. His eyes stared at Luna while fusing her hands under her mighty chin.
"How do you know me?" ask Leon coldly
"Everyone from the dark will also know that it's you, because only the lord of the lion clan came to the auction and bought a lion-shaped mask that was made by a famous designer" explained Luna.
"All right then rather than us making small talk, why don't we just get to the point" cold Leon and wiggling the bell that's on his little desk. His adjutant enters while carrying a red map, gives it to Leon and leaves the room.
"Is this important?" ask Luna.
"The service is important and also not you lose so you have to take the bet on Miss Luna's day" Leon explained. His tone was full of suppressors and his voice was as heavy as ever.
"Huft, hurry what I want to talk to me about" annoyed Luna who immediately took the wine in front of her. Twist it slowly and gulp it in one shot.
Gluc***
Putting back his wine glass and staring at Leon lazily. He was even more lazy that all his thoughts were true about the person before him. The guess that the masked man is Leonex Martin and hopes that his sheer guess is wrong but...
'Huft is really an unprofitable day' Luna thought.
"Miss Luna should be more careful not to drink the drink in front of you" said Leon who compiled the paper from the map.
"Wait don't tell me.. argh" ringis Luna felt her head suddenly dizzy. His eyes also faded and could only faintly see.
"Because there could be something in it, miss" continued Leon who looked at Luna already holding her head. His body collapsed and fell asleep on the sofa.
'shit' said Luna last time before her eyes closed and walked into the dreamland. Leon who saw Luna fall asleep could only faintly smile as he approached the woman. He stroked his head and put the hair back.
"I'm sorry Luna, this is the only way I can find out the truth about you and the feelings I have" Leon muttered. The right hand that was stroking Luna's face and her left hand that was holding her heart area.
His heart was beating faster than usual, his heartbeat meant a thump of feeling. Leon haru does this underhanded way to find out the truth about Luna and get things done. Because if he's late his sense of regret will never be resolved.
With gentle eyes, Leon looked at Luna and kissed her forehead gently. There was no violence in his movement that there was only a sense of affection shown for Luna.
"Sorry" repeated Leon.
🔫Leon is also ingenious yaa turns out to even do things that are dangerous and detrimental just to find the identity of Luna! Hmmmmmmmm curious? patiently the author wants to sleep first hehehe, Sayonara~
