Chapter 678

Skyler stuck out his tongue playfully. "You suck in poker games, Sierra."

Sierra's face turned red with embarrassment. "I'm sorry, Mr. Skyler. I'll study hard and improve my game.’

Her job was to keep Skyler entertained, as instructed by Tanya. If she could win his favor, she might not have to continue scraping by as an underpaid assistant.

Leopold clapped Skyler on the shoulder. "Skyler, it's not that she's weak.

We're just too good. The person who can beat us hasn't been born yet.”

"True that.” Skyler chuckled, scratching his head.

Eager not to disappoint, Sierra quickly added, "Mr. Skyler, I'm also good at other games like Mafia, Spyfall... I can play charades, too!"

Skyler stuck his tongue out again. "Whatever, you'll still lose to me. I prefer playing with... with William. I hate playing games with girls. They cry... cry when they lose.”

"I won't cry. I promise,’ Sierra hurried to assure him.

Skyler pulled out a lollipop and handed it to her. "Here, have a candy”

"Thank you, Mr. Skyler, Sierra said, her mood brightening as she took the

lollipop.

Skyler asked curiously, “How long have you been with... with my aunt? I haven't seen you before, have 17"

Sierra held up a finger. “One month”

"Just a month, huh” Skyler pouted, lowering his voice, "Have you met my brother Geoffrey? Did he come with my aunt?”

Sierra blinked in surprise. "Who's Geoffrey? You have a brother?”

Leopold cut in, "How many people came with Aunt Tanya?"

"Just five others besides me. They're at the hotel” Sierra answered truthfully.

"Do you have a doctor with you?"

Sierra nodded. “Yes, Dr. Tommy.’

Leopold stroked his chin, pondering. If his hunch was correct, Sierra wasn't an underling of his aunt but a potential girlfriend scouted for Skyler. He bet she wouldn't know the secrets concerning Tanya and Geoffrey.

"That's good. If anything happens to Aunt Tanya, tell us immediately.’

"Of course,’ Sierra nodded.

Later that afternoon, Tanya came downstairs and said to Skyler, "Skyler, it's been a while since I visited Elysium. Things must have changed. Will you show me around tomorrow?"

Skyler grimaced. "Tomorrow's the weekend... I've planned a trip with William.

We've had it planned for ages."

"Would you mind taking Sierra with you? It's her first time in Elysium, and she also wants to see the sights,’ Tanya suggested.

Skyler scratched his head, clearly troubled. He didn't want to drag along a stranger and was sure William wouldn't be keen, either.

Sierra looked at him with puppy-dog eyes. “Mr. Skyler, I can make snacks for you. I'm good at cooking tasty treats.”

Leopold smiled slightly. “Aunt Tanya, you can come along if you feel up to it.

We might even try Gleaming Gardens’ famous beef steak.”

"That would be lovely,’ Tanya said, relieved. “I can't eat much these days, but I do miss the roasted beef steak from Elysium. I used to eat one every day when I visited. They're so crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, dripping with juices... Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.”

Skyler lowered his head, idly twisting the lollipop in his hand. With his aunt along, the fun would be spoiled, and Geoffrey might even tag along secretly.

At the thought, he shivered inwardly.

When Leopold's RV pulled up the next day, William burst out of the house with his backpack, eager to sit next to Skyler.

"Skyler, I brought a murder mystery board game. We can all play together”

Skyler made a face. "Aunt Tanya is coming, too. it's going to be a drag."
