I was a patient man to the very core. Always the number two to the man at the top… continuously playing the game. I knew that biding my time would pay off eventually and then a winning bid at auction and it would all be mine. I’d played the role that was expected of me and now it was my time to shine. I could finally live the dream I’d always wanted. I just never expected him; I never expected to lose… I never thought I’d fall for the boss, twelve years younger than me.
