"What?"
Grace was taken aback, looking at the man in confusion.
Pierre ignored her and turned to walk toward the roulette table nearby. Grace hurried after him.
At the table, she saw the man staring intently at the roulette wheel, as if he were calculating something. After a few rounds of betting by others, he finally spoke:
"Bet on the corner."
"What?"
"Bet on the corner."
Grace quickly placed a few chips on the corner.
As the dealer spun the ball, everything unfolded just as expected—they won!
When the dealer pushed the winnings over, Grace was still in shock.
She looked at the man in amazement and said,
"We… we actually won?"
"A soulless game…"
With that, Pierre turned and left, leaving the woman a little dazed.
Watching the man walk away, Grace's blue eyes widened as she murmured at his retreating figure,
"He just… just left like that…"
He didn't even ask for my name!
