The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 32

The man smiled at Corinne and handed her a dice cup. "I wouldn't want you to accuse me of bullying you, so we'll play a game that's not too complicated. We'll just roll the dice, and the one with the highest score wins that round. If you win two rounds out of three, then you win the game. Sounds good?

Corinne nodded earnestly. "Okay. Thanks."

Annie's eyes reddened with anxiety. "Corinne! It was my fault! You don't need to play with them! I'll drink as many bottles of beer as they want!" She then thought to herself, 'I can't let my aunt play against those three sleazebags! They'll bully her if she loses! I don't want that to happen..."

Corinne patted Annie's restless hand. "Shh! Be quiet, will you? It's going to be fine."

'What do you mean it's going to be fine! Annie wanted to call her uncle over for help, but her cell phone had been snatched by one of the men earlier!

Though the contest had not yet begun, they were already surrounded by a crowd of men who came in to watch the enjoyment.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Both sides had a dice cup, and Corinne's opponent gave his cup a fancy little shake before slamming it heavily on the table. He smiled confidently and asked, "Shall I?"

Corinne answered politely, "Go ahead!"

"How thoughtful! Don't mind if I do then!' The man lifted the dice cup. Of the five dice, four rolled on six, and one rolled on five. The total was 29!

The audience was not too optimistic about Corinne's end. As a young girl, they felt that she did not know how to roll dice and would have to rely on pure luck. Furthermore, the possibility of rolling five sixes at once was simply too slim!

Corinne turned a deaf ear to the negative comments. She shook her dice cup deftly and lifted it nonchalantly. Everyone was shocked when they saw that she did get five sixes!

The confident smile on her opponent's face froze, and he did not believe that she would be that lucky. "That's some pretty good luck you have there! On to the next round!"

Both Corinne and the man rolled five sixes, which turned into a draw. As the third round began everyone watched with intrigue and were eagerly looking forward to the final result.

The man rolled five sixes yet again and smiled charmingly at Corinne. "You might be lucky, but the chances of getting five sixes three times in a row are simply too slim! Since the last round was a tie, we might need to add two more rounds. Whoever gets three wins out of five will then be the winner. I'm already looking forward to spending the night with you."

"This will be the last round, I'm afraid. You'll just have to settle with disappointment," said Corinne in a flat tone. She lifted the dice cup, shook it for more than 10 seconds, and slammed it on the table.

When she lifted the cup, all five dice had split into half from the middle. Half had the 'six' side up, while the other half had the 'one' side up. The total, then, was 35!

Two wins out of three secured a resounding victory for Corinne!

The three playboys were dumbfounded, and there was a look of disbelief written all over their faces. They even leaned forward and looked closely just to confirm that it was the case.

Everyone else was just as amazed to learn that she was so skillful despite her young age!

"We won? We won!" Annie blinked in confoundment and snapped back to her senses. She leaped in joy and yelled, "Gah! We won! You're awesome, Corinne! You're my idol from now on!"

Corinne covered her mouth sleepily and yawned. "Let's go."

Zeke watched the entire contest with gusto on the sofa not far away. He was amazed by what he saw and said, " Your girl is full of surprises, Jeremy!"

Jeremy sat on the one-seater sofa in a majestic and royal-like posture. He took a sip from his glass of red wine and crossed his long legs gracefully. His expression was solemn, and no one could tell what he was thinking.

Zeke's remark caught Sunny's attention, and the latter asked, "Who is she? Does Jeremy know her?"

Zeke smiled and said, "That's his wife! They just got married not too long ago. Since all of us here are like brothers, she's technically your sister-in-law too!"

Sunny was taken aback as he frowned and looked at Corinne with a gleaming gaze.

The curly-haired woman standing next to Jeremy's one-seater sofa swirled the champagne in her glass and glanced at Corinne from afar. A brief wisp of disdain appeared across her beautiful eyes.

Corinne threw the room card back to the man and pulled Annie away.

As she was about to leave, Annie suddenly remembered something and turned back to ask the man. 'Give me my phone back!"

The man standing in the middle had not yet come to terms with accepting his loss, and the cell phone provided him with the perfect excuse. 'Tell her to play another game with me if you want it back!"

Corinne could not be bothered to go at it again and said to Annie, "Let him have it. We'll get your rich uncle to buy you a new one once we're back home."
