Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 285

It was unexpected that Neil took a risky move!

Zephyr looked at him. "Mr. Harris, this is a risky move. I advise you to be cautious."

"It's fine." Neil smiled. "Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I'm willing to take the risk for the roles."

Zephyr smirked. "Nothing ventured, nothing gained? It's true, but it depends. Not all gains come from risks!"

Just when Neil thought he would win, the card that Zephyr put down shocked him.

Two more cards, then one more-Zephyr put down all his cards and won in terms of points as well.

Neil's frown was scrunched tight.

"You're talented, Mr. Harris," Zephyr chortled and lowered his voice, "But talent applied in the wrong area makes it a ticking time bomb. Who knows when it'll explode and blow you up to pieces? It'd be a pity then."

"What do you mean?" Neil narrowed his eyes.

Zephyr pushed all the cards on the table toward him. The Xiroh cards spread out with a swoosh like a huge fan.

Zephyr's dominating presence caused the others not to dare act recklessly in front of him. He put his arm around Cordelia and looked at Neil mockingly.

"I mean, don't make risky moves you shouldn't. Don't venture into danger you shouldn't.

"And don't think about someone you shouldn't covet!"

Neil's gaze dimmed, and he was going to say something, but Zephyr had already left with Cordelia.

Nicholas followed and asked his subordinates to take care of the area.

After a while, the celebrities dared to comment, "Mr. Z felt so authoritative just now... I didn't dare move!"

"Right!? But I wonder who that reporter is."

"Mr. Z was so angry. It must be a close girlfriend?"

"He was warning Mr. Harris not to make a move on his girl?"

Neil took a deep breath, frozen on the spot for a long time, and looked in the direction Zephyr and Cordelia left in a daze.

Zephyr had been silent since they left the hotel. Although he held Cordelia's hand all the way, and she could feel the warmth from his palm, her heart drummed.

She could not help guessing why he did what he did a few moments ago. 'Why must he make a bet with Neil, and why did he say all that? Also, why... does he look angry?'

Of course, the last question was the most important.

Cordelia paused abruptly, causing Zephyr to jolt and look back at her.

She went up and held his face, her voice soft and sweet. "Are you... angry?"

Zephyr looked at her quietly with a deep gaze. He was angry, especially due to the comments by the celebrities by the door and the fact she had been having a good time playing cards with Neil.

He believed nothing was going on between her and Neil, but he was just upset! However, listening to her soft voice... he turned to smile at her and replied gently, "Don't think too much. I'm not angry." "But you don't look great."

"Mm, just a little..." He thought about it. "Gastritis."

Cordelia chuckled. He did the same and pulled her into his arms to kiss her forehead and the tip of her nose.

"You don't have to go home so early, right?" he asked next to her ear. "Do you have anything you want to do the most now?"
