Private What even is luck

" What can I say maybe watching people fail at this all day has taught me a thing or two on how to win." It was utter bullshit of course. A slot machine...more so these slot machines were truly random despite how much people wanted to believe it was the easiest option to win. However who was she to pass up the opportunity of making herself look far better than a person as self-assured as Levina.

"I could give you some private lessons someday if you want. I don't charge much compared to these other people and I've been told I'm more appealing." Lucretia had a devious smile on her face when a familiar scent and puff of smoke appeared behind her. Without needing to turn around she could tell it was one of her security members.

"Yes, Killian?"

"..Sorry boss I was told to tell you this. Ahem, From the....God-King himself and I quote 'Whose the blue-headed chick? Is she your girlfriend? Is she going to be joining us for Netflix and Chill later'....that's it."

Lucretia gave a tired sigh before glancing around to see where her idiot of an ex-husband was before saying. "In this order Killian, Go fuck yourself, No she isn't, No one will be involved in your stupidity and I'm leaving work early." Her voice was the same as usual, devoid of anger, and more to the point than one would expect given the contents of the message. Giving Killian a strong dismissive wave a subsequent puff of smoke marked his disappearance.

Getting up Lucretia loomed over Levina before saying "Get up and follow me."

"Then you'll love being around me since it is in my nature to tell people where to go and what to do." said Lucretia as she walked over to the two glasses of mead and easily downed both back to back before setting them on a tray of a nearby waiter. " We need to take the elevator so keep up and don't get lost." Lucretia would move through the ever-growing number of people on this respective game floor. The elevator she planned to take was for employees only and could get her where she needed to go. Every few paces she would turn to see if Levina was keeping up okay and if for some reason she got blocked off or lost she'd take the time to redraw her attention.

" I know you wanted to broaden your horizons and all that but at the rate, you were going you'd have been poor by morning." She loosened her tie and undid the top button on her collared shirt to allow a little more breathing room before the elevator came. "Plus had we stayed down there much longer the jokes of my boss would've just gotten worse. This way I can spare you the headache."

Lucretia raised an eyebrow at Levina's comment as she entered the elevator, pushing the respective button for her floor. "We used to have sex a lot, yes." She said without any embarrassment or inflection in her voice. It was just sex, everyone, that could do it did. " They've never been one for professionalism anyway so I don't expect it from them." Lucretia pulled her tie off completely, throwing it over her shoulder. The Blank Slate was one of the larger casinos on the island so it didn't come to a shock for many when employees had rooms to rest in during their breaks or after work.

The short elevator ride stopped on one of the hotel floors and Lucretia stepped off with purpose as she knew exactly where she was going, one of her rooms. " My room is just over here....Don't touch anything in these halls you aren't a paying guest." Her voice was very strict and serious which might've made it hard to tell if she truly meant for Levina to keep her hands to herself, or to feel free to take some complimentary items.

Within a few paces, they would arrive in front of Lucretia door and after a quick scan of her thumb on the door lock a metal click could be heard as the door opened to a refreshingly cool and berry scented breeze. This room was rather meek compared to the more elaborate ones in it was a large bed, a small kitchen, two bathrooms, a terrace, with a large mounted tv on the wall. This was usually where she crashed whenever she was off of work but still needed to attend business-related events on-site.

"Touch my things and I'll have to kill you." Again her voice carried a confusing tone that might make people think twice before acting.

A small chuckle escaped Lucretia's lips as she listened to Levina, ignoring the slight against shampoos the place offered" You are no closer to sleeping with me now that you've seen this room then you were downstairs. I just need to change out of my clothes and then we can head to one of the lounges." Lucretia removed the rest of her top attire save her bra before walking over to her clothing drawer and pulling out a black tank top. "You can sit on the bed if you want." Fixing her hair quickly in a nearby mirror Lucretia would ask" So what is this stuff about broadening horizons? Are you so innocent you've never been to a casino."

Taking in Levina's answer Lucretia would sit on the bed and remove her shoes and pants. Freeing herself from work attire was always a relief and she reveled in the chance to get into something more comfortable. "That feels much better," she said to herself as she walked over to a different drawer and pulled out a pair of grey cargo pants. With ease, she slipped the pants on and tossed the shirt over her body. From beneath the bed, she pulled out a pair of sneakers to complete her casual look. With that everyone on the security team would know she was off duty as she would never be caught out of uniform walking the halls unless it was urgent.

@Stefan

"Seems like someone has gotten over their aversion to the word sweetie." Lucretia adjusted her clothes and then snapped for Levina to get up and follow her into the hallway. "But if you wanted to get the true casino experience maybe I should've let you drain all your funds and swoop in to laugh at you later." If Levina left the room the door with close and lock behind them marking the start of their journey to the lounge that was on this floor. Lounges like this one were spread all throughout the venue for people who wanted some late-night company away from their room.

Lucretia would begin leading the pair to the lounge giving a few passing nods to security and familiar faces. The place had a reputation of repeat customers so it wasn't surprising to see someone she knew every other day. Looking back to make sure Levina was okay she would give the passing comment "Nice dress by the way. You almost look good enough to work the floors here." she gave a slight chuckle at her own quip.
