A Team Of Four

Victor sighed and crossed his arms.

"Look, I already have a team forming. It'd be unfair to leave them hanging just because someone with a rich background suddenly wants me."

The whispers grew louder.

"He actually said no!"

"Is this guy insane?"

Evelyn's expression darkened.

No one—no one—turned her down.

She clenched her fist while responding with a tone of irritation.

"Do you know who I am?"

Victor responded with a tired expression. "Yeah. Evelyn Lancaster. Everyone here has been kissing the ground you walk on since this screening started."

Evelyn's eye twitched.

"And yet, you're still refusing?"

Victor shrugged.

"I made my choice."

For a second—just a second—Evelyn looked genuinely offended.

Then, her expression shifted into a smirk.

"Fine. If you don't want to be on my team, I forbid anyone else from joining yours."

Victor stared at her. "…Are you serious?"
