Location: Las Vegas

"Ha ha. I win again boys. I must say, you guys suck at this." An ebony lady said in joy as she took all the cash from the center of the table to her section, where all the cash she had gotten from her many rounds of poker.

Every men groaned at the table, not liking how he was able to defeat them and take all their money in many rounds of poker that was played. Hearing them brought a smirk to her face.

From her peripheral, she saw a man, in his late forties walking over to her. He sat down next to her and kept looking at her, not even caring if his stares made her feel uncomfortable or not. She cringed inwardly and turned to him, putting on her bet fake smile, "Don't you know that staring is very rude?"

"Pardon me, I just couldn't help it, you are very beautiful. What is a beautiful damsel like you doing here?" He chuckled before noticing the stack of cash next to her.

"Did you win all that?" He asked. "What? Can't a beautiful damsel like myself play poker and get some cash to spoil herself with?" She said smiling at him. He chuckled again, "Usually, pretty girls like you are just here as an escort or our accessories. Take for example that pretty lady over there." He said before pointing to a lady sitting on a man's lap, probably whispering dirty things into his ear while he was playing poker.

She rolled her eyes at his words and turned back to him. Noticing her change in mood made the man raise a questioning brow at her, "Did I say something wrong dear? I noticed your change in demeanor."

"Oh it's nothing, just that your choice of words seemed to have made me..." She paused, looking for a word to use, "Disgusted." She finished with a smile. "Oh, pardon my words. How about I treat you to dinner as an apology?" He grinned. She mustered up a smile before replying, "Sounds wonderful."

He looked at her stash of cash before calling one of his bodyguards to get her a briefcase to put her money before they left the casino. The valet drove his car to them and she got inside with him, then the bodyguard drove them to a restaurant.

It seemed like he was the owner of the restaurant because the receptionist took them to a table without the receptionist asking for a reservation. They both ordered for their meal and soon enough it arrived.

"I never really told you my name, it's Daniel Martin." He said with a smile. "Scarlet." Scarlet said before bringing her wine glass to her lips and taking a sip. Of course Scarlet knew his name, for he is her little assignment to 'take care' of.

"A beautiful name for a beautiful lady like you." Daniel said before reaching his hand over the table to place on Scarlet's hand. She glanced at his hand that was placed on hers before glancing at him, "You seem a bit touchy on our first date." She shook her head while chuckling.

Daniel smiled "Pardon me, I just couldn't help myself." "You seem like a pretty huge deal, like you just waltzed in like the restaurant is yours." Scarlet laughed and Daniel joined in, "Yeah, the restaurant belongs to me. I'm a pretty huge thing in Las Vegas." He bragged. Scarlet nodded, "Well I'm not," She smiled before continuing, "I'm a model."

"That job really fits you. I could tell you're one by your beauty, it would have been a great shock to me if you weren't" Daniel said with a smile. "I just wish I could be a supermodel like Kylie Jenner or Naomi Campbell but I seem to be getting unlucky." She pouted.

"Well, I have a solution for you." Daniel said before removing his hand from Scarlet's which made her relax more, "Oh! And what is that if I may ask?" Scarlet asked leaning forward.

"You'll be mine and I'll make you a model of the most famous fashion brands." Daniel suggested. Scarlet acted like she was thinking about the offer before she nodded her head with a smile, "Deal."
