Amelia Johnson almost choked. “Oh my God, seriously? That’s the Taylor family we’re talking about. They’re not so easy to mess with. I’m not ready to die yet.”
Emily Carter replied, “Exactly because it’s tough, that’s why they came to you.”
“I’m out. Not taking this job,” Amelia said flatly.
“Knew you’d say that.” Emily snickered.
“Then why bring it up? You just wasted my time,” Amelia rolled her eyes, clearly annoyed.
Emily gave her a knowing look. “You say you wanna be a rich woman, but you’re turning down the easiest ticket to it. Guess that means you’ve got a thing for Damien Taylor
“Get outta here with that nonsense!” Amelia shot back. “Next time, help me filter these. Today’s job is way too dangerous. I don’t go after legit companies. If it’s one of those sketchy illegal ones, just accept for me.
“Well yeah, I know. I just wanted to test if Damien really got under your skin,” Emily teased, grinning.
“One more word and I’m coming over to smack you,” Amelia threatened.
“Okay okay, good night!” Emily hung up in a flash.
Amelia muttered to herself, “Always gossiping like she’s got nothing better to do. And for the record-I don’t wanna date anyone. Plus, Damien likes guys, alright?”
Elsewhere, Sabrina Johnson and Ethan Collins had just finished a game.
Still on voice chat, Ethan said, “That’s it for me, Sabrina. Get some rest, okay?”
“You too, Ethan,” Sabrina’s voice was syrupy sweet, like she was talking to a boyfriend.
After the team disbanded, Ethan didn’t log off right away. On impulse, he pulled up Amelia’s game profile. When he saw the all-green match stats, he was genuinely surprised.
Amelia wasn’t just playing support; she was absolutely carrying.
Wasn’t she a noob? How could she be this good?
Then it hit him-must’ve hired someone to play for her. No wonder she didn’t team up with him today.
Before bed, Amelia got a message from Ethan: “It’s just a game, why bother with a booster?”
