Heart Hunting

“Hey, Mrs. Murphy, come over here...” Mrs. Turner is opposite to the door. Seeing the door open, she immediate greets Mrs. Murphy enthusiastically. But next second, she suddenly calm down when she finds that Poppy is also here.

Mrs. Morris doesn’t know what happened to them last time. She doesn’t pay attention to the change of Mrs. Turner. She says, “oh, Mrs. Murphy, you bring another girl here.”

Mrs. Perry and Mrs. Turner take a look at each other. After experiencing what happened last time, they both feel a little scared with Poppy.

Mrs. Murphy looks at the facial expression of Mrs. Turner and Mrs. Perry, she feel a little excited. “Oh, yes. Poppy doesn’t have to work today, so I bring her here to have some fun together.”

Poppy pretends to be gentle and says, “nice to see you. I’m here just to watch. Please don’t mind that.”

She looks harmless and innocent. Mrs. Morris thinks, it would be better if they can play mahjong with this girl instead of Mrs. Murphy. So that they can win the money more easily.

Poppy sits next to Mrs. Murphy and keeps quiet. Mrs. Murphy deliberately tells her, “Poppy, pay attention to how I play mahjong. If I get tired later, it will be your turn to play.”

Poppy glances at the ladies and says on purpose, “Mrs. Murphy, is that OK? I don’t even know how to play it. I’m afraid I will lose your money.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Morris is very pleased, she replies, “it doesn’t matter. Everything has the first try. You will know how to play it after several rounds.”

Mrs. Perry and Mrs. Turner don’t speak anything. They have learned their lesson since last time. They are afraid that this is Poppy’s another trick.

“That’s great! Let me see how Mrs. Murphy plays.” Poppy looks at Mrs. Murphy’s cards, and thinks they will definitely win according to the cards that Mrs. Murphy has.

But unfortunately, the winner of this round is Mrs. Morris.

“Mrs. Morris, how lucky you are!” Mrs. Turner and Mrs. Perry are both a little unconvinced, while Mrs. Murphy is still smiling even she loses. She takes out the money on the table.

Mrs. Morris is certainly happy because she wins money. She looks at Mrs. Turner and says, “you see? Mrs. Murphy is still so calm even losing money. It’s just the first round. Easy down!”

Mrs. Turner glances at Mrs. Murphy. She is extremely dismissive of Mrs. Murphy. She thinks, Mrs. Murphy is not so calm like this, it’s just that she is used to losing money. How would she complain about it!
