22 - A Requested Gamble



You had just stepped into your car when your phone began to ring - it was your father.

You narrowed your eyes at the unexpected early morning call, already knowing what the purpose of it was.

You stared at the phone call for a while before finally accepting the call, bringing your phone close to your ear.

"Why did it take you so long to answer the call?!" Your father shouted in the phone.

You weren't shocked by his reaction since that was your plan all along - to make him wait and get irritated. You had succeeded in your plan, and you felt a small sense of satisfaction.

You sighed quietly, then asked, "What's your reason for calling this early?"

The man couldn't help but chuckle at your question.

"The reason is of course, because you're going to finally do what I've been waiting for, isn't that right? So you better not lose or you'll end up becoming a disappointment," he said.

You frowned at his words, and lightly clenched your jaw.

'Wow, how encouraging...'

"Fine, whatever," you muttered, a hint of annoyance in your voice.

You hung up the phone, then looked in the rear view mirror of the car. Your driver was watching you, and it was clear he had heard the entire call.

You narrowed your eyes and put your phone back into your pocket.

"Let's just go," you said with finality.

Your driver flinched, quickly gripping the steering wheel, then began to drive.

"WHAT?!" Mary exclaimed in shock, her hand slamming down on your desk.

"I see," Yumeko said, her eyes widening as she clasped her hands together. "So that's why you asked me that question yesterday! I didn't expect you to request to gamble with the president!"

"No way! You simply can't gamble with that woman, Y/N! Don't you know how dangerous it is?! What if you lose?!"

Mary was worried for your safety.

You looked at them with a wry expression, your elbows resting on your desk, your fingers rubbing your temples, and your eyes closed.

"Don't worry," you said calmly, "I'll be fine. If I ever lose, I'll just have to accept the consequences."

"You may be a billionaire, but what if the debt will be greater than you can afford?! You know that the president is the richest student in this school!"

"Now, now, no need to worry, Mary-san! We should have faith in Y/N!" Yumeko tried to reassure her, gently patting her on the shoulder. Mary looked both annoyed and concerned, her expression tense.

"I do have faith in him, but..." she said hesitantly, her voice conveying both her faith and her worry.

"We can't guarantee if the president will agree to gamble with me. I just hope she will." You spoke with a serious demeanor as you opened your eyes, meeting the two women's gazes.

The blonde woman raised her eyebrows in surprise, while the other maintained her warm, inviting smile.

"Don't worry, Y/N-san! She'll definitely agree to play with you! After all, who could deny somebody as talented as you? You have a good reputation here in this school, don't you?" Yumeko said, as Mary's gaze still lingered upon you. Mary slowly but deliberately removed Yumeko's hand from her shoulder.
