"I bet 5000 grey chips on Zyglavis, the clubs of nine"

Virgo slowly exhaled her cigaret, removing the carbon dioxide that was tainted with tobacco and nicotine, re-filling her lungs with fresh oxygen that might have had a hint of overpriced perfume, with a smirk evident on her face, she bravely announced. the luxurious room filled to the brim with Very important people gasped in both shock and admiration. 

Her opponent, Charles Eversten, the owner of a well-known company slouched in his leather chair, his dark-chocolate brown eyes, filled with a self-satisfied glint. he had an overflowing amount of confidence in his player and deemed him worthy enough to face The nine of clubs himself,Libra Zgylavis

Eversten laughed, mocking Virgo's claim as he boldly stated "Ill double your wager Virgo Partheno"

to which Virgo replied.

"I'm not sure if your net worth is high enough for such a daring declaration "

The dealer cleared his throat to gain the attention of his customers, His pale hands swapped the cards generously, shuffling them to the best of his abilities. Virgo and the rest of the entourage sat a few feet away from the game, to cause no distracting and or cheating.

The dealer placed two cards face down for each player, well, it was only two people.

Libras miss-matched eyes narrowed at this, Now he had much more pressure on his shoulders, and his delt cards laughed at him mockingly as he peeked at them. His opponent made the first move and decided to fold. to Libras relief. 

The game continued swiftly as Virgo's opponent taunted Her for her supposedly horrible mistake.

Libra frowned at his five cards remaining, dread coated his features as his teeth chomped at his bottom lip. His rival, however, was rolling in glory as he showed his hand.

Three jacks matched with two tens...A full house.

Virgo remained unphased as her opponent cheered. Libra looked displeased with all of the mocking as he revealed his  Ace, King, Queen, Jack and 10 that displayed all the same suit.

"A...A...R-Royal flush!!"

Gasped Virgo's challenger as his greedy hands retracted into his chest, leaving the chips for Libra to collect.

" my oh-so-wonderful sponsor betted 25 million to which you promised to doubled no matter who or what was playing and playing for, meaning that we won...75 million? correct?"

questioned  Libra as he attempted to count his fingers.

Mr. Eversten, Virgo's foe instantly regretted his decision's and desperately pleaded to the Ace of Diamonds and her companion, the nine of clubs. 

"I don't have that type of money, would you be kind enough to wait a day or two?"

Libra looked absolutely pissed off as he slammed his hands on the oak table, he shouted at the begging and slightly balding man with venom dripping with his harsh words.

"Pay up Eversten. I didn't waste an hour of my fucken time for nothing!"

Virgo placed a gentle hand on Libra's stiff shoulder, signaling him to calm down.

"It is quite alright Mr. Eversten, I wouldn't want to worry your wife and children with a sudden bankruptcy...I will, however, receive my money within two weeks...Zyglavis, Your...Friend has arrived"

If on cue, Taurus The Queen of Clubs, Dressed head to toe in the finest clothes, donned in white and green, glided towards the table with a prize-winning smile on his face.

" Partheno, It's nice to see you again, hmm, is Libra treating you well?"

questioned Taurus as his loving eyes gazed at the duo. Virgo, with her quick ears, heard the silent ringing of her cell, she reached for her purse and pulled out her phone, checking her newly found messages.

"My apologies for cutting this meet-up on such short notice,Teorus. It appears that Scorpio is awaiting my return, here's your payment, Ziggy. It was a fun game, very entertaining"
