It the blink of an eye it was Christmas. My pub, bar and casino were doing great.
Yes, I own a casino now. The gambling room was a hit and I had to make an extension out of it and in a month it became something worthy of being called a casino.
But with that came a lot of responsibilities on my shoulders. A lot of work. I was tired but I was enjoying it as well. It was my dream afterall.
Today was Christmas and there were extra people flooding clubs and hitting casinos. So, Alex and I were busy. As for the other, Marco and other were doing live gigs tonight and Flare and Lina had been booked for the day as there were many people wanting to get something memorable on their body, it was Christmas and a perfect opportunity that gave them courage and reason to do so.
I have had my pubs and bars upgraded, and I'm negotiating with a few of my newly caught fish (chough-sponsors-cough) for a nice contract and one of my generous investors say I should open a franchise already.
I have considering it. And the terms in the contract are too mouthwatering to say no to, but I have to be careful of loopholes so I am stalling them for the while.
After all it's holiday time and I deserve some break.
Today Alex and Luxe were coming to my Casino, Trapdaddy. I don't know why but everyone except for me and Luxe voted for this name, Alex was the one who suggested it.
Not surprised.
But it was surprising that everyone preferred this against, Bluebird.
I was overlooking my casino from above. It was a two-story duplex, and the first floor was my casino, while the second was the VIP booth section and also where my office is situated. It lively and I like working here.
Anbey and Cole were the managers of my pubs, Redrake and Carnage. And Chang handles my bar, Goblin.
I don't know why I decided that to be the names but it's whatever.
Maybe it's because most of the drinks at the bar are green and Carnage because of the slightly gory theme?
I was sitting with a customer at the bar when I one of the dealers came my way. It was pretty under the wraps that I was the owner, but he was one of the first hires so he recognised me.
"Ms. Carnation, there is a customer wrecking havoc in the east wing. He's at the moment hitting a fellow customer. Please hurry."
"Where's the security?" I asked annoyed and the customer beside me was giving me nervous looks because she was badmouthing me a while ago.
"They're, they're out cold."
They're no good. I better hire new ones after today.
As I neared the commotion, my stomach was doing this weird flip-flop thing and my gut screaming at me to turn away.
I made my way through the crowd to see a mad with his back to me ruthlessly punching the life out of someone.
His laughter scaring me but it was eerily familiar.
"Excuse me, but would you please stop." I said firmly.
"Huh, who are you to oder me huh?" He menacingly said as he turned around.
Blood drained from my face as I recognised the individual, he was Giovanni, my brother.
Looks lovely ke he doesn't recognise me.
I sighed.
"Violence is strictly prohibited inside the casino. And you're violating one of the crucial ruke of here. You might be banned from entering here forever." I calmly said taking a step forward.
"Are you going to snitch on me to the manager, Missy?" He said in a mocking tone. Typical Gio.
"Well no." I said and he smirked.
"Thought so, pussy." He spat.
"Because I am the owner." I said with a smirk of my own as I watched his falter.
"Ryker, Hardik take the injured customer to one of the empty booths and give him first-aid send him to the hospital afterwards." I said to the guards beside me.
"I am so sorry for the disturbance. It must have ruined your night. But as compensation teh drinks and snacks would be on the house and everyone gets three free deals or bids." I said loudly to the disgruntled crown and they soon dissipated.
Everyone likes free treats huh?
"And you, give me one reason I should not ban you from here and put you in jail for assault." I glared at Giovanni.
He looked like he hasn't recovered form his initial shock.
But then he said the sentence I dreaded I would hear:
"Bells, that you?"
