Chapter 2
Ian smirked at some joke the girl sitting beside him said. He was sitting in the VIP section of his Casino Papo. He gulped down another glass of red wine.
"Ian, are you even listening to me?" whined the girl.
Ian smiled, "Of course, Katie."
The girl lifted her head from his shoulder and looked at Ian, "Whose Katie?"
"Sorry, my bad," Ian ruffled his hair as he tried to remember her name. "Nelly?"
The girl got up and looked at him with disgust. "How many are you with?"
"Just kidding, Charlotte!"
The girl picked up her purse, "Its Danielle and we are not meeting again."
Ian sighed as he watched her go. He shrugged. There was always someone else. Especially when you are the multimillionaire owner of a LA Casino.
Ian walked around the large Casino. Everywhere he could see people were playing and losing. The loss had no effect on them as they were already addicted to betting. He felt exhilarated. He felt like laughing until he caught sight of himself in a mirror. A thin, tall person with hair streaked purple met stood there. What surprised him was the total lack of happiness on his face. He should have looked happy. He was rich. He had rich, beautiful girls falling at his feet. Nobody controlled him. He was free but…
He dialled his secretary, "Christopher, there is a mirror near the lottery-spin. Have it removed."
"Yes, sir. Your friend Mr. Kenny called."
"Kenny who?"
"The Director of All Starz Organisation."
"Oh him."
"He sent an invitation for his marriage ceremony. What should I reply?"
"Tell him I am busy."
How are you all? I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and new year (I'm a bit late I know). I hope we all have a lovely year ahead full of happy surprises and success...
But tell me what do you think of Ian? He's going to be a really important character in this story...any ideas about why he is so jerky?
Aaaaand any guesses who the next chapter is about?
