As the footsteps behind her grew closer, Thea gritted her teeth and darted into a nearby private room.
The moment she entered, she collided head-on with someone's chest, her nose painfully smacking into their firm torso, and she almost teared up from the sharp ache.
"You...." Thea started, but before she could finish, she was pulled tightly into their grasp. The man she'd bumped into quickly pulled back.

"Mr. Windrow, work with me, and I guarantee I'll make your raw stone casino business thrive." Ollie's smile was mocking. "Do I look like I need money?" Thea shook her head. "No, you don't lack money, but you do lack a reputation. You don't want to be known as just the rich kid of the Windrow family."
The smile vanished from Ollie's face, replaced by a dark glint in his eyes. "So, what you're saying is that I'm nothing more than a spoiled child living off his parents?" 09:41 Mon, Nov 4 Chapter 187 Thea didn't deny it. Isn't that exactly the case? she thought.
