Upon reading through the contract once again, Zack reassured Sophia that all was well, as everything

that needed to be amended was amended. Thus, Sophia signed it without hesitation. Meanwhile, Robin

sat behind the counter silently without even acknowledging Mr. Reyes. The latter knew why she was

behaving like that, as he swindled a lot of her money.

There were two copies of the contract, which would belong to the respective parties after both of them

signed and put down their thumbprint. The landlord left after all was done, but Sophia wasn’t able to

leave due to the heavy downpour, thus she sat in the shop.

She was feeling more relieved after the contract was signed, but Robin had a hard time staying still.

After a while, she suggested to Sophia, “Let’s go have some fun after the rain stops. Seeing the

landlord just kills my mood, so I don’t feel like doing any shopkeeping today at all. I want to go on a

stroll outside.”

Sophia was sitting by the window while staring into the distance when she replied, “Sure.” Her phone

buzzed as soon as she said so, a call coming in from Ian, which she picked up immediately.

His voice sounded a little languid through the call as he asked, “Where are you?”

After a pause, she replied, “I’m outside.”

A chuckle could be heard through the call. “Alone?”

“Nope.” Sophia turned to look at Robin. “I’m with a friend.”

Ian heaved a sigh before asking, “Would you like to meet up? I’m with a friend as well, so we can get to

know each other.”

Did he just say he’s with a friend? He used to tell me he had none! Such were her thoughts as she

turned to look at Robin while asking for her opinion by mouthing at her.

The latter quickly got out from behind the counter as she nodded. “Sure, let’s go.”

After Sophia gave a reply in the affirmative, the two of them closed the shop before hailing a cab to go

to the location designated by Ian without even waiting for the rain to stop. It was a clubhouse, which

was practically empty during the day. Ian was waiting for them at the entrance when they arrived, then

he greeted Robin politely before saying, “Come on, let’s go inside.”

It was Sophia’s first time visiting a place like that, so she questioned curiously while they walked, “What

brings you here?”

Ian responded with a smile. “A friend of mine owns this place. It’s been a while since I last dropped by,

so I decided to visit this place today.”

With an arched brow, Sophia asked, “Who is this rich friend of yours?”

Ian’s response was one of resignation. “He’s the only friend I know.”

Aside from a number of attendants walking around, there weren’t a lot of guests in the clubhouse. Ian

led them to the second floor, which consisted of a lounging area and an entertainment zone.

They entered one of the rooms which was slightly larger than the others, with a gaming machine

located on one side of the room, while a table for playing poker was set on the other side. The table

was occupied by a few people, including a man in pajamas and slippers who was tidying up the

scattered cards on the table.

Ian greeted the man as soon as he entered. “Logan, my friends are here.”

Upon lifting his head, Logan Jefferson examined Sophia with a shrewd gaze as he waved his hand at

them. “I was in a predicament, but it seems your timely arrival has solved the problem for me! Come

on, let’s have a go!”

Ian knew that Logan was addicted to gambling, especially with poker. With much resignation, he turned

to look at Sophia and Robin. “Do you two know how to play?”

Sophia was a little hesitant. “Not really. I have only ever watched people play.”

Robin was very much the same as she mumbled, “Me too. I only know a little.”

However, Logan seemed to not be affected by their attitude as he motioned for them to come over.

“Come on over. It’s alright if you don’t know how to play the game. I can teach you!”
