…now, Ms. Wheel. I saw her down at the hotel all the time, shuffling cards and smiling both when she won and when she lost. I didn’t know she was the owner of the hotel until I sat down opposite of her.
“It’s always a pleasure to see someone of your status at my establishment,” she said, her voice pur velvet. “Baccarat?”
“Chemin de fer,” I nodded, watching her hands.
“In a hurry somewhere?” she asked, raising a brow.
“I like having a chance at winning.”
Ms. Wheel smirked without looking at me. “Don’t get too bold.”
