Married a Secret Billionaire

Chapter 284

Zephyr walked in slowly while the celebrities watched him. They were only taking a short break here, not expecting to see Neil playing cards with a woman.

The few of them whispered by the door until Zephyr appeared. Only then did they feel pressured and suffocated, like the air was sucked out of the room.

Zephyr’s expression was cold. His smile did not reach his eyes.

“Cordelia, wrong card.” His voice was low as he walked to Cordelia and pulled another card from her hand. “You should put this one down!”

Cordelia froze before she grinned, turning back into the girl who had only him in her eyes.

Zephyr rubbed her head.

When others took in the intimate scene, they could not help guessing the pair’s relationship.

Neil furrowed his brows while the celebrities at the door looked at each other without saying anything.

When Nicholas rushed over and noticed the situation, he instantly understood everything.

“You’re here, Mr. Z.” He went up to pat Zephyr. “If you don’t like the noise, I can set up an exclusive room for you!

“And you, Mr. Harris, I’ve been looking for you. Hah, it’s not quite nice that you’re absent at the front. I’d like to discuss our collaboration in particular after this!”

Nicholas wanted to pull Zephyr away as he spoke. No matter what had happened here, he must not let this green-eyed monster stay with Neil any longer, or something bad would definitely happen.

Unfortunately, something did happen before he could do anything.

“Mr. Harris, you’re good at the card game and as a teacher.” Zephyr smirked. “I know how to play too. Would you like to play a round with me?”

“Hey, Zephyr!” Nicholas frowned and kept throwing him looks.

It was a good day for Sol Entertainment today. Was this jealous monster wrecking the event?

“I just want to play with Mr. Harris. Why are you so nervous?” Zephyr side-eyed him.

Nicholas tugged his tie, speechless.

“It’d be my honor to play with Mr. Z.” Neil agreed and sat by the table with a smile. He shuffled the deck of cards and gestured for Zephyr to start.

Zephyr looked grim as he walked over.

The two men sat across from each other at the long table. The atmosphere was incredibly tense.

“I heard that gamblers were the first to play Xiroh in Southeast Aciatic.” Zephyr snickered. “Would you like to make a wager, Mr. Harris?”

Neil paused and smiled. “Sure. On what?”

“On a role.” Zephyr was calm. “Wattz under the Hamerton Group has two big productions in the works. If you win, you can take both main leads!”

The celebrities who watched could not help gasping softly.

These two big productions from Wattz had gone around the entertainment industry half a year ago. Many famous top stars wanted a cameo in both films even if they were not paid.

One wager from Zephyr now, and the male leads were going to be decided…

“The female reporter must really be something!” commented someone softly. “Mr. Z lost his cool after seeing her play with Neil!”

The others echoed the sentiment.

They were all people in the entertainment industry and were well aware of interpersonal relationships, seeing through such matters with a glance.

Nicholas warned them with a cough to shut up before throwing them a stern gaze.

Afraid that things would blow out of proportion, Cordelia approached Zephyr and tugged his sleeve, only for the man to hold her hand and intertwine their fingers.

“Go on.” Zephyr wore a small smirk.

Neil arranged his cards and put down the first one.

The air seemed to freeze, and only one’s own heartbeat could be heard. Seconds ticked by.

Zephyr looked calm and composed, while Neil did not have much of an expression. Despite their nonchalance, the game went on unusually aggressively. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

In the end, each person was left with three cards.

Zephyr smiled faintly. He had long calculated how many points Neil had.
