The people in the office immediately pricked their ears, eager to catch every word of the discourse.
Millie furrowed her brow. You haven’t upheld your previous bet. If you want to wager again, you must honor the last bet.
With a calmer expression, she responded, “Sure, but if you lose, you need to fulfill your promise. There are many witnesses here.”
“Absolutely, I’ll uphold my end,” Nancy retorted with a confident smirk.
“Here’s the bet: The loser leaves the Thomas Group.”

Nancy glanced at the bucket, which had been brought in by the cleaning lady earlier. She hesitated for a moment.
“Agreed. But don’t forget your terms either. You can’t back out.”

“So, who do you think will cout on top?”
While placing documents on the table with a thud, Emerie turned to the gossipers.
“You two, over there! Have you finished working on your designs?”
The two gossipers suddenly fell silent.
