Thousand Tricks of the God of Gambling

Episode 11

Although the blow of the Rivet is hard, but only the wound on the outside only. I rested at home for a week and recovered. I didn't go to work or take time off the last few days. Because I'm sure I'm gonna lose this job. I turned down an offer from Manager Meyra and won Andi's boyfriend. The Kombi Baths no longer have a place for me.

This morning, I just finished breakfast. My phone suddenly rang—it was an unknown number. I heard the voice of a woman across the street when I answered.

"Six, did your wound heal after a week? You should have come to work, right?"

That's the voice from Meyra. I didn't have her phone number before. I didn't think he'd call me and ask me to come to work. More surprisingly, he knew I was hurt.

"If you don't come today, I'll take note of your absence without permission. Your salary this month will be cut..."

Meyra's tone sounded a little seductive.

Normally, taking time off or resigning is a small thing for staff like us in Kombi. There was no need for Meyra to ask in person. But now, she not only knew, but also actively called me. It just means one thing.

He's watching me.

And the reason must have to do with whether I cheated or not. Following Meyra's advice, I went to work.

Even though it was only a week, the co-workers looked at me with slight surprise. Moreover, there were no male colleagues in the bath area who greeted me. The two comrades I used to be familiar with wanted to talk to me but held back after seeing the evil look from Andi.

Only Muray, a service staffer who has a good relationship with me, secretly sent me a text message.

The content was that everyone in Kombi knew that I had won Andi's girlfriend, and Susan didn't come home all night. I came to work the next day, and Susan broke up with Andi. Therefore, Andi threatened to take care of anyone who dared to interact with me and never treated me with mercy.

After reading the message, I sighed. This Susan definitely did not tell Andi that nothing happened between us. Of course, he did not return to her either. Maybe she went to live with another guy. It has nothing to do with me.

Regarding Andi's threat, I don't take it seriously. Who her? He was just an insignificant little figure.

Today I have day and night shifts. I'm going to the cafeteria for dinner. A staff member told me that Meyra had asked me to come to her office.

I haven't seen Meyra all day. I knocked on the door. When I came in, I saw Meyra tidying things up on her desk. Meyra looked rather weak after not meeting for a week. Her beautiful eyes like a phoenix looked red.

When I walked in, Mei immediately asked, "I heard you snatched Andi's girlfriend?"

I didn't say anything, so I secretly agreed.

"What are you doing with him?"

"Nothing..."

Meyra looked at me, with a slight condescension she said, "You're not picky. You'll want to be with any woman!"

"If I told you I didn't do anything, would you believe it?"

Meyra sighed.

"Tsk, I'd be a fool to believe a man's words. They are liars..."

I didn't explain anything either. Whether he believes it or not is not important to me.

Meyra put four Marlboro cigarettes and several tea boxes on the table while talking.

"Six, we've been working together for quite a while, and I have a good impression of you. Do it well from now on. Take these cigarettes and tea. I don't need it anymore..."

Hm?

I was a little surprised. Why did Meyra suddenly give me these things just like that? And his attitude was as if he was saying goodbye.

Employee turnover in the high-service industry. Professional managers like Meyra are often targeted by peers.

Meyra smile.

He smiled, but there was a void inside his smile.

"The boss treated me well. How can I change jobs? It's just that I can't go on like this..."

Hm?

I saw Meyra confused.

Why can't he continue when everything's okay?

"When you're resting at home this week, I don't go to work either. I gambled at a small casino for a week and lost a big game. Ah, don't talk about it..."

"How much loss are you?"

Meyra did not say, but I kept asking.

Meyra sighed sadly.

"I have a personal deposit of almost 2 billion! Besides, I borrowed 4 billion from the casino. Now I can't pay it back. I can only go with them..."

Almost 6 billion!

I was quite surprised.

Mr. Seis may be rich, but I'm not. Money of 60 million I don't have let alone 6 billion! And Meyra lost all this in just a week. However, I still could not understand and asked, "Didn't your friend manage the casino? Why do you still go to other casinos to gamble?"

Meyra's staring.

"Even if you own a restaurant, you can't eat there every day, right?"

That sentence makes sense. But with Meyra's experience, she shouldn't have done something so stupid.

"All right, don't talk about it. You can take cigarettes and tea. I'm leaving now..."

"I'll drive you!"

Suddenly they looked up as I spoke.

"Bro, do you want to help Meyra pay her debt?"

One of the men looked at me with scorn.

"You can't pay for it!"

"You won't be able to pay for it, so why call us? Are you trying to fight us for her?"

I shook my head and asked the two of them, "He owes you money, but it doesn't seem like a week. It's past midnight so it'll be a whole week!"

The two men exchanged glances and asked me, "What do you mean?"
