CORD
The buxom blonde sidled up to me at the poker table. I glanced up
from my cards, irritated at the intrusion.
“Last night was fun,” she purred, leaning close enough to give
a view of her silicone-enhanced cleavage.
“Thanks,” I muttered as I continued to study my hand and
plan my play.
The girl’s overly lined lips turned downward to form a sparkly
pink pout.
“Well, call me sometime, okay?” she said, laying a hand on my
forearm. “You did put my number in your phone, right?”
“Yep, sure,” I nodded, remembering how I’d actually been
scrolling social media when she recited the digits.
After a few more minutes, she finally wandered away and I
exhaled.
“Your move, Mr. Romero,” the dealer reminded.
“I’ll raise,” I replied, sliding five one thousand-dollar chips
across the table.
The man across the table from me chuckled as he slid five of
his own chips into the pot.
“Do you even remember what her name was, Cord?” he
grinned.
I smiled wryly and gave a slight shake of my head. “Haven’t a
clue, Nate. And I think you’re getting to know me all too well.”
“You know what they say…keep your friends close and your
enemies closer,” my business rival replied.
“Which of those two groups do I fall into, exactly?” I asked.
“I’m out,” the player to my left said with a thick accent, folding
his hand and taking another sip of his whiskey on the rocks. I
understood him to be some sort of royalty from Bahrain. A young
and spoiled sort, and the type who always think they have it all
figured out when they know zilch about how the real world operates.
It’d been easy to call his bluff. The ice clinked in his glass prettily in
contrast to the background ringing and whirring of the slot
machines.
“Same,” said Massimo Galtieri, the ruddy-faced, barrelchested man next to Nathan.
I was familiar with Galtieri, an international hotelier
purported to have ties to the Sicilian mafia. He laid down his cards
and picked up his Cuban cigar with one hand while reaching for the
scantily clad woman standing behind him with the other. She
caressed his upper back and simpered.
“I’ll raise,” Nathan said, smiling broadly as he scooted more
coins into the pot. “To answer your question, Cord,” he continued, “I
consider you as, shall we say, a worthy opponent? I’ve watched your
rise to fame and fortune in the tech industry ever since you showed
up in my sphere of acquaintance. Lucky break you had with that tax
app you developed while you were still at MIT. What are you working
on now, exactly?”
I guffawed, sliding more chips into the center of the table.
“I’m not that drunk, Nate. You’re my biggest competition.”
