Five hundred thousand dollars. "What.....this is double what we agreed to...." "I know. Consider it a bonus. For being extraordinary. For making the auction experience unforgettable.

And Veronica...." he pulled her close "....we're going to have many more 24-hour sessions together. I can feel it."

"This is the 20,000-dollar commission you were owed, not a cent less! Please count it! "The 700 dollars yesterday was… It was the finance department's mistake! That's right—a mistake!"

I’d coach her for long afternoons, as promised during her back office meltdown, and she barely even gave her sister a second glance. But of course she wouldn’t. Verity had a much bigger game plan. She was all out to get better, to prove her worth. Her grit had been tested and found lacking, and she’d come back with steel in her gut for round two. Verity Macau fucking nailed round two. She soaked in everything, every little piece of advice, every scrap of feedback. She took sales materials home at night, and was all the wiser for it the next morning. She impressed me in a way I’d have never expected. Brat comes good. Who’d have ever thought about it?

"No thanks." "I'll send you the credits to draw something from the Glory Collection." Felicity stopped walking. "How many credits are we talking about?" Vermont glared at her. "Enough for one item."

Tens of millions of dollars. And none of it could be reasonably explained.
