Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life

Chapter 986

"Full House."

"Grand Slam."

Flora leaned her chin on one hand, casually tossing out her cards with the other, her words rolling out effortlessly.

Ray just stared, speechless.

He should have known better than to underestimate Flora. She was even more ruthless than Connor, that wild card. And she seemed to have it out for him-Henrik and Rafael barely lost a hand! Ray was losing so bad he was about to lose his shirt, literally! "Oops, did I win again?" Flora grinned, "Pay up."

Connor, right on cue, grabbed Flora's phone and opened the payment app, handing it over. The two of them were a well-oiled machine.

Grumbling, Ray transferred $300,000.

"Another round?" "Absolutely."

Losing a few million was no biggie, especially to Flora. Ray wasn't really bothered; it was all just for kicks. But then he pulled Aisha, who was sitting next to him, into his arms, holding her a bit too snugly. "How about letting my girl take a swing at it?" "Who says I'm your girl?" Aisha snapped, landing a playful punch on his face. Ray just chuckled, "Come on, it's all in good spirit. Give me a break, huh? Especially after all the TLC I've been giving you lately."

"Are you even still loaded?" Flora teased, eyeing Ray. Since their Lone Island trip, Ray and Aisha seemed closer than ever.

"I'm tapped out." Ray shrugged, "But Aisha here, she's got the stash. All my money's with her anyway. A real man knows to hand over his wallet to his lady."

"Your turn, Aisha."
