"For Kate's year-end bonus this year, let's just give her 500 dollars to keep up appearances." My boss' nonchalant conversation with the accountant drifts through the half-closed break room door. "500 dollars? But Mr. Ribeiro, she's our top salesperson this year," the accountant reminds Rupert Ribeiro cautiously. "The new guy, Carter Stevens, just closed a small deal, and you just approved a 5,000-dollar bonus for him…" Rupert scoffs. "You don't get it. Carter's a man—a rising star. You have to throw money at him to bring out his killer instinct. "As for Kate, she's a 40-year-old woman. She's old. Even if she leaves us, who's going to want her?

But that wasn’t the point of tonight’s game, was it? No, the game was Reina. The moment of her realization. The second she understood that I was never playing to win. I discarded a crucial card. Lorenzo’s eyes flickered, his expression unreadable. But I knew he saw it. And then— "Oops," I muttered, chuckling. I lost. Lorenzo exhaled sharply, then let out a triumphant laugh, the sound rich with arrogance. With a cocky grin, he threw a victorious punch into the air, his eyes gleaming with a twisted sense of satisfaction.

“I’m not going through anything.” She raised an eyebrow. “Lie better.” I exhaled slowly. “It’s nothing.” “Mhm.” We let the subject drop, and I turned the volume back on just as the crowd roared. The final minutes of the game were tense. Fast. Chaotic. I leaned forward despite myself. June groaned. “Why are they always losing when we watch?” “Maybe we’re bad luck,” I murmured.
