Chapter 20 Jim's Girlfriend
Sophia walked to the exchange counter in a huff and slammed the black card down on the table, "Exchange 50 million yuan's worth chips!"
People coming to such a place were either rich or noble, so 50 million yuan was not a great amount, nor could it catch any attention. However, the woman held a black card limited to less than ten people, and her face looked insufferably arrogant. That was enough to attract attention.
"M... madam, please wait a second." Appalled, the staff at the counter stammered and reached out her trembling hands for the black card.
Only then did Sophia realize that she had vented her spleen on someone innocent.
As a good-tempered and polite woman, Sophia felt embarrassed, hurriedly softened her face, and apologized, "Sorry, I'm not angry with you."
After all, this girl was just doing her job here and hadn't done anything wrong.
Upon hearing her apology, the girl shuddered in fear and hurriedly replied, "It's okay, the customer is always right. Please wait for a second, I'll get it done right away."
Sophia sighed without saying more and waited there quietly.
In a short while, the girl spoke again timidly, "Madam, please enter your password."
"Oh, okay." She habitually entered the password.
With a whoosh, the bill was printed and delivered to her. The girl grinned from ear to ear, "There you go, please sign your name."
Sophia took the pen and suddenly stiffened when she just tried to write down her name.
This was Jim's card...
He didn't tell her the password. The one she habitually entered was the password of her bank account, and it was... her birth date.
She suddenly felt a lump in her throat.
How could it be?
"Excuse me, is my password correct?" She raised her head anxiously.
"Yes." The staff at the counter blinked confusingly but still smiled.
How could it be!
Her heart felt like soaked in sour and bitter water.
The password of Jim's card was her birth date...
How come... how come...
"Madam?" As she stood there still, the girl at the counter couldn't help but ask.
Sophia came to her senses, signed Jim's name with mixed feelings, and left with the chips.
Dumbfounded, she couldn't figure out why he used her birth date as his password. Didn't he... hate her?
Lost in thought, she walked and bumped into someone.
"Ow!" She frowned in pain and dropped all the chips.
"Are you blind? How dare you bump against me! Do you..." The man's angry voice suddenly stopped, followed by a burst of lascivious laughter, "Ah, turns out to be a beauty. Pretty girl, are you hurt? How about I rub it for you?"
Following the voice, Sophia raised her head in disgust, only to find a fierce-looking fatty at least 100 kilograms. With glittering eyes, he leered at her, about to drool.
"I'm okay and sorry to bump into you. Duty calls, I should go." She didn't want trouble, and Jim was waiting for her. Therefore, she quickly picked up the chips and intended to leave.
But the man wouldn't let her. With his greasy hand, he grabbed her slender wrist, "Hey, pretty girl, why the rush? I knocked you over and certainly should take responsibility. Come with me, I'll take you to a great place. Then we'll check if you're injured."
As soon as his plump hand touched her, Sophia got goosebumps and almost threw up at his lubricious words.
"Let go! My boyfriend is Jim Brown, so you'd better stay away!" She couldn't afford to offend people haunting such a place. Obviously, this man would not let her go easily. Without a choice, she tried to deter him with Jim's reputation.
As expected, the fatty stiffened at the name but then laughed indifferently, "Ah, Jim's girlfriend? Really?"
Apparently, he didn't believe her.
"It's true. Jim is here, go ask him if you don't believe me!" She said anxiously.
"Bah." The fatty tittered disdainfully, "Pretty girl, bragging comes at a price. Do you know who I am? The owner of this Emperor Casino is my pops. To put it simply, I am the young boss here. If Jim is really here, how wouldn't I know? Besides..."
His lewd gaze greedily lingered on her body.
"Even if Jim is really there, so what? In here, I am the overlord, and Jim has to respect me!"
"Really?" A lazy, attractive, male voice came over. The coldness in it was like the prelude of a storm.
