Anna sighs in the middle of Thessa's sickening laughs.
Thessa kisses the one-million check.

" Too bad. It seems that you don't even have luck !" mocked Thessa.
Anna stares at the door.

Anna walks to the door and presses down the handle.
The light shines on her, but something is blocking the shine on her face.

" Mr. Shane.."
Anna frowns and lowers her head.

Anna walks to Thessa hugging her cases.
" Thessa."

Thessa looks at Anna.
" Can we play the game again ?" asked Anna.

A grin appears on Thessa's face.
' This girl hasn't learned her lesson. What an idiot !'

" Well then." said Thessa raising her head, " But if I win, you'll have to pay me two million !"

Anna pauses, then nods with a smile.
" But if I win, you'll give me back my eleven million."

Thessa fakes a smile.
' It seems like you haven't noticed. That would never happen.'
