Chapter 33 - have fun!

Riggs was on high alert following Seraphina around. They are currently inside a mall and Riggs still hadn't recovered of her past behavior.

In contrast, Seraphina merrily entered a boutique without a care to the world. She went straight to the men's wear section. Riggs brows knitted in confusion seeing her in the men's wear section.

Perhaps, due to the past occurrence, he knew it was one of her antiques of diverting his attention. Unfortunately for her, expensive clothes do not interest him.

His attention was solely focused on her, as he watched her picking up trendy men's clothes. His first thought was she was looking for something for Chairman Yue yet after getting a pink polka dot tie, nothing seems to fit Chairman Yue.

Seraphina was holding a few casual and formal suit for men, she handed it to him. He gazed at the clothes that roughly handed to him then to her blank expression.

"try them on."

"Miss, I'm afraid I cannot grant that." he politely answered.

"why not? I just wanted to have fun and obviously, I don't want someone looking like…" she gazed him from top to bottom a couple of times making him feel a little self-conscious.

"anyways, I won't sneak out anymore, you have my word."

"Thank you, Miss. But I still cannot possibly do what you want."

"If you insist." she then grabs a casual v-neck plain black shirt and a short from Riggs and went straight to the cashier.

Riggs gave her action a cold shoulder. He followed her and just as she said, she did not sneak out or even tried to.

Honestly, he felt sorry for her as her definition of fun was this boring. She shopped, ate candies, watched a melodramatic movie but left midway saying it was toxic then requested to drive her around the city.

Time passed just like that before she pointed out a building filled with grand lights and had huge signage that shook him to the core.

"Miss, that is a Casino"

"yes. I told you I wanted to have fun."

He slightly trembled to hear her answer. The sound of flickering cards, ch_i_p_s clanking and the feeling of gambling, whether you win or lose excite him. This time, Seraphina did got on his weak spot.

He cleared his throat before replying through his gritted teeth, "Mi-"

"tch. Just go. I'm still your boss." Seraphina rolled her eyes seeing him how he suppressed his d_e_s_i_r_e to stop her from going to casino himself. It was as if he was controlling his l_u_s_t for his n_a_k_e_d lover, enough to make her eyes twitch.

Reaching their destination, both their eyes twinkled.

Riggs wanted to immediately run towards the poker table, unfortunately, remembering a certain someone, he knew he will bury him 6 feet underground if he gambled once more without repaying him, thus, he grieves silently following Seraphina around the casino.

He continued to follow her around while observing their surroundings.  

Seraphina only stood behind a man who was busy playing poker and watched them quietly. A few moments later, she left them and went to the lounge area. Just as he thought they were leaving, Seraphina was signaling him to come closer to her.

"these are yours"

"...."

"Don't misunderstand. I want you to play in my stead. No pressure you can lose.

"Miss-"

"hmm?" her brows arc seeing his 'determination' waver. She pushed the ch_i_p_s towards him, knowing his shameless nature and loves for cards, she knew he will never refuse.

"you better stay to my good side, Riggs " Seraphina spoke calmly but Riggs heart trembled to hear her calling his name for the first time.

He does not know why, but her aura is quite familiar to him. He was supposedly felt insulted if it were others but there is something that he cannot discern why he cannot find the girl hateful.

In the end, he accepted the ch_i_p_s.

"Good. Now, see that table? Play there." She said pointing at a certain table using her chin. Riggs gazed her with a confused look only to receive a large grin on her face. When he was ready to leave her, Seraphina called out to him again then threw a paper bag which he caught swiftly.

"change," she said. He was confused but seeing the shirt and pants she bought earlier, he realized what he was wearing was an odd dark blue bodyguard suit. If it was just him, he won't mind but since he was 'following' orders, he'll shamelessly do it. It is still a win-win for him.

Looking at himself, Riggs was surprised that the clothes fit him well. Although it was just a shirt and a denim pants, he was confident with his looks giving him a simple wealthy man in casual clothes.

Leaving the changing area, he spotted Seraphina outside-- waiting. Seeing him out, her eyes squinted before nodding in satisfaction.

"have fun!"

"where are you going?"

"I will wait for the result inside the bar. There, there." she patted his shoulder before walking out to her designated destination. Riggs was rendered speechless by her action.

'why do I feel like I'm a child left in the kid's play area?' he thought.
