His Domineering Lover
Chapter 973

Katie began to teach Rose the basic knowledge. Although Rose seldom played cards before, she thought it was interesting.

"Girl, you lied to me, didn't you? You're not like a rookie." Katie was very surprised that Rose soon mastered the art of playing cards.

"Katie, how dare I lie to you? Before today, I didn't even know what a Texas hold'em was."

Katie was lost for words. "Maybe you're gifted. Now I'll teach you some tricks and details. You can practice at home."

"Okay. Well... Katie, when can I start working?"

"I thought it would take at least three days, but you were really amazing. I'll take you to the casino tonight, and you'll watch me do it. If possible, you can start it tomorrow."

"That'd be great." Rose was so happy that she kept thanking Katie.

By the time the teaching finished, it was already noon. "What do you want? I'm ordering takeout."

"Takeout is not nutritious. Katie, if you don't mind, I can cook for you. Do you have any ingredients?" "I have a sea of easonings, but I don't have many ingredients." Katie never cooked.

"I'll go and see what you have." After looking in the fridge, Rose said, "It's enough. Trust me, my food won't be worse than takeout."

"You're that confident?" Katie crossed her arms and raised her eyebrow as she looked at Rose.

"Cooking is one of my specialties. I used to be a part-time chef at a restaurant."

"Talia said you needed a lot of money. Why, you have a leukemia boyfriend, too?" Katie lit a cigarette, but Rose didn't cough this time.

As she handled the ingredients in an orderly manner, she replied, "No, I don't have a boyfriend yet. It's my mom. She needs money for an operation."

"So you're a great daughter. No wonder Talia asks me to take care of you." Katie took a puff at her.

Rose didn't belong in their dirty, dark, muddy world.

Only they themselves knew how precious sunshine was, and Rose was enveloped in sunshine.

"What did Talia say?"

"Nothing much. I didn't expect you to be so naive and cute. But let me remind you.

"You don't have to drink in a casino, but you have to deal with all kinds of people. If you want to earn money, you can't just rely on your face. You have to rely on this." Katie pointed at her head. A casino was as complicated as officialdom. They had to guard against not only gamblers, but also their colleagues.

Rose nodded. "I see."

"I'm gonna take a nap. I'm exhausted."

Rose had seen casinos in the movies. Would there be many bad guys there?

Thinking of this, she got a bit excited. After all, she had never been to such a place.

When the food was done, she shouted, "Katie, time to eat!"

No one answered. Rose went to the living room, only to find Katie was sleeping on the sofa.

She was still wearing that thin dress.

She always thought that Katie was a woman with a story. Just like Talia, she had something secret hidden in her eyes.

"Katie, the lunch's ready."

Only then did Katie slowly open her eyes. There was obvious alertness in them. After realizing it was Rose, the alertness was gone.

"So soon?"

"It's been an hour. You must be starving."

"Well, I think you're right." Katie casually flicked her long hair. She was really beautiful that Rose was amazed.

Seeing Rose's shining eyes, Katie gently tapped her head. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I just realized how beautiful you are."

"Beautiful? Girl, don't you have a mirror? You're prettier than me."

"Both you and Talia are so cool. You can do whatever you want. I wish I can be as free as you."

Katie looked at the young girl. "Trust me, you won't really want to become someone like us."

"Why? You're so independent that no one can boss around you." Rose sighed. She could never do as she wished. "You don't know how lucky you are."

"Well, let's have lunch first, or the food will be cold."

Katie paced over and looked at the dishes. "I thought you were bragging, but now I don't think so."

Rose smiled gently and handed a pair of chopsticks to Katie.

"Wow, it's so delicious! I envy your future husband now."

"You like it?"

"Of course I like it. I finally know why Talia treats you so well."

"Why?" Rose asked with chopsticks in her mouth.

Katie smiled. "You said that you wanted to be us, but you know what? We want to be you. You have never been hurt. Although you're having a hard time, you still keep the innocence that we don't have. That's what's most precious."

"Katie, what happened to you?" Rose suddenly became curious about her. What turned her into a coquettish, financially independent, even philandering woman?

"Rule number one in the casino, don't ask too many questions. This is for your own good."

Rose quickly covered her mouth. "Sorry, Katie."

"Girl, let me tell you one thing. Stay away from the rich. A kind poor guy is much better than a loaded playboy."

"Yes, I know." Rose never wanted to be with a rich man. She wanted to be someone she liked.

In her opinion, love had nothing to do with anything but love. If she was into someone, she wouldn't care if he was rich or handsome.

"I'm telling you this because I know there's gonna be a lot of men after you. Don't fall for their traps.

"Few rich men are good. The only good man with money will never be yours."

"Got it."
