“They’re valuable, but it’s like playing the lottery. I’ve been playing since 2001 and haven’t made any money. Gordon, you’d better forget about making money in the game while you can!”

“I was just asking casually. I’m almost 40 years old. Where would I find the time to play games?” Gordon laughed.

“Oh, Gordon, where are you working now? Are they still hiring? I think I might be laid off soon!”

Gordon pretended to cough. “Let’s discuss that later, I have something to attend to. I’ll hang up now!” With that, he promptly ended the call.

Gordon didn’t want Hilda to know about his layoff until he found another stable job.

Hilda stared suspiciously at Gordon and asked, “What’s with this ‘talk about it later? Do you have a

mistress outside?”

Gordon didn’t react as explosively as Hilda had earlier. Instead, he grinned and replied, “Seems like you still have high expectations of me. Do you think I’m capable enough to find a mistress?

Hilda scoffed, “You’re hopeless. You’re not even as capable as our son. Can you earn these 20 thousand.
