I turned.
And saw her.
Standing a few steps away.
I hadn’t even noticed her.
Which is… rare.
She was just there.
Quiet.
Still.
Watching.
+15 Banus
There was something about her.
Almost… distant.
Not shy.
Just… selective.
I nodded slightly.
“Hi.”
She didn’t say anything.
Just looked at me.
Then gave a small nod.
Acknowledgment.
Nothing more.
Interesting.
I checked my watch.
Time.
Right.
I stood up.
“Good game,” I said to Eli.
He nodded.
“I’ll win next time.”
I almost smiled.
“We’ll see.”
I turned to leave.
I adjusted my cuffs once.
Unnecessary.
But it gave my hands something to do.
We pulled up to the building.
Tall.
Clean.
Impressive.
I stepped out.
Took it in for a second.
She really did well for herself.
I walked in.
Reception was smooth.
Efficient.
“Good morning, sir,” the receptionist said.
“I have a meeting.”
