Dont mention it.
I didnt do much for Dr.

She had to admit he had a magnetic pull on her, yet she felt a pang of disappointment.
No matter.

Just then, a staff member whispered something in Elsies ear, and she hesitated for a moment before speaking up.
Mr.

Are you interested? Andrew instinctively wanted to decline.
He was never one to care about club memberships, VIP titles, or committee positions.

Before he could turn it down, Francesca interjected with a cheerful laugh.
Thats a great honor ! Ive heard that being part of the antiques association earns you much respect . Andrew, this is perfect for you, especially at your age.
Thank you so much, Ms.
Santana! Elsies face lit up.
Then its settled ! Ill speak to the association president and let them know Mr.

To gamble away everything for something so uncertain ... Why would anyone do that the risk seems far too great its like betting your entire life on one spin of a roulette wheel. Andrew shrugged and said calmly, Thats exactly the allure of stone gambling.
People enjoy the process of turning nothing into something of taking a e risk and hoping for a reward. Youd be surprised how many are drawn to the thrill.
Francesca looked at Elsie in surprise.
Ms.
