His Domineering Lover
Chapter 989

Even the rookies would not make such a mistake, let alone she was the ace in the casino. After working in the casino for so many years, it was the first time for Katie to make such a mistake.

What Caesar valued most was the capability of the dealers. Even Rose, who had just been here for two days, knew about it.

When Katie was giving Rose the heads-up about working at the casino, she specifically reminded her that she could not have dazzling shuffling skills but she had to make sure everything went well, instead of causing a scene by flaunting.

She did it many times, but today, she made a mistake causing Caesar to frown.

Freddie smiled happily and said, "D*mn, what's wrong with Katie today? I didn't expect to see you slip in my life, Miss Ace."

Katie looked at Caesar's cold face and apologized repeatedly, "Master, sorry, I..." She wanted to explain, but she didn't know how to. What he hated most was an explanation. A mistake was a mistake, simple as that.

Caesar said coldly, "You are not allowed to come up to the third floor for the next three months."

It meant that Katie could only be on the first and second floors for three months. Not only would the income be greatly reduced, but the greatest blow to her was also the looks other dealers would give her. "Master, I'm sorry, I really didn't do it on purpose." Katie's heart was filled with dread, not because of the embarrassment of the demotion but because if she were really to be down at the first and second floors, her sales would greatly plunge, making her fail to be the sales champ and thus cost her the chance to be Caesar's plus-one at the banquet.

She did not rest for a day these days in order to maintain her sales as high as possible so as to be his plus-one at the banquet, fair-and-square.

Rose pleaded, "It was just a slip, Caesar. It really doesn't call for such a severe punishment."

"Then what do you think we should do? If we do something wrong, we'll be punished. I've always been clear- minded about the punishments and rewards." Caesar looked at Rose.

Rose thought about it for a moment, then smiled and said, "Let's suspend her from work for one day tomorrow."

Hearing her words, Caesar gently scratched Rose's nose, "Is this a reward or a punishment?

You are basically asking me to give her a day off."

Seeing that Katie was so tired that she did not even have the time to rest, Rose was indeed doing it on purpose to help Katie.

"It's a punishment, of course."

"Yeah, Mrs. Peterson's idea works. Katie didn't make any big mistakes." Freddie also stood on Rose's side.

Their pleading did not make Katie happy. Her attention was only on the words "Mrs. Peterson".

Caesar didn't seem to be displeased at all. On the contrary, it was as if he had acquiesced.

They just got to know each other yesterday, how could they confirm their relationship today? Impossible, absolutely impossible, Caesar was just fooling around with her at most, how could he take it seriously? "Okay, well have it your way then. I'll punish her for not coming to work for a day." Caesar didn't want to reject any of Rose's requests. It was as if as long as he could make her happy, it didn't matter what he had to do.

"Well, that's the second miracle I've seen today. I've never seen Caesar making a compromise so quick before." Freddie joked.

"Mr. Peterson, turning a bit too soft, don't you think?"

"Haha, be careful, he's gonna skin you alive for that later."

Katie looked at the crowd making fun of Caesar, feeling as if she were looking at them from another world, never able to fit in with them.

"Stop fooling around. We playing cards or what?" Caesar interrupted their joke but did not deny anything.

Katie put away her gloomy expression and began to shuffle the new deck of cards.

The game started and was ever more thrilling with Caesar playing along.

Rose was also very curious about the elegant demeanor of the casino owner. Caesar's way of playing cards was the same as his own character, with a kind of low-key luxury. Compared to Freddie and the others, he was much more composed. He would turn the table right around just at the edge of losing.

"Screw this, pal. You haven't even lost a buck here. Fifty million dollars my a*s." Freddie pushed away all his chips.

"Talking about fifty million dollars, you now owe me that precisely much," Caesar said word by word with his mouth curving into a smile.

"Humph, if I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have played with you. You've literally knocked our wallets out tonight. You gotta buy us dinner!"

Caesar looked at his watch. "It's getting late. Maybe another day, the dinner, I mean."

"Boring." The group of people complained as they left.

From the very beginning of the game, Katie's attention had been focused on Caesar and Rose. Caesar's good attitude towards Rose was not an act, but a display of his true love for her. The more real it was, the more she felt unreal. He used to be such a cold man, how could he have such a gentle side?

"Are you tired?" Caesar looked at Rose.

"A little drowsy, yeah. I'll be heading home." Rose rubbed her eyes.

"I'll drive you."

"No, there are a lot of cabs around here." Rose shook her head repeatedly.

"I want to drive you, let's go." Caesar didn't give Rose any room to refuse. He held her hand and walked out of the door.

"Katie, later then." Rose politely said goodbye to Katie, but she didn't see the coldness on Katie's face.

She watched helplessly as the two of them left, hand in hand. She felt as if she had been betrayed.

Rose used her to pull strings and got into the casino to get close to Caesar. In just one day's time, she had achieved what she had wanted to do the most.

Katie slowly slid down from the table and sat down on the ground. In order to get close to the man, she had pulled out each and every stunt she could, but all of that turned into ashes now.

It was not until now that she realized that she was the only fool here.

Katie threw the cards in her hand into the sky. The cards fell down like snowflakes.

She really wanted to cry, yet even that ability seemed to have seeped away from her body after years of acting tough. She could only stare into the void.

The poker fell on the ground beside her, and her eyes were empty.

"Katie, what's wrong with you?" Archie happened to pass by the room and saw the expressionless Katie, who looked like a walking corpse.

There was no injury on her body, but the expression on her face was as if she had suffered a great blow.

"What's going on?"

"Archie, have you ever loved someone?" Katie looked at the man in front of him.

"I have." Archie looked at Katie affectionately. The person he loved was right there in front of him yet she didn't know.

"What will you do if the person you love falls in love with someone one day?"

"I will bless her, and pray for her happiness with the one she loves." He answered quietly. That was why he had not told Katie his feelings for her all these years, and he knew that there was no him in Katie's heart.

"But I won't! I won't give them any blessings!" Katie suddenly got up from the ground and ran away.

"Katie, where are you going?" Archie chased after her in a hurry.
