Brett entered the house , his usual smug smile plastered on his face. He exuded an air of confidence, of someone who knew that he had all the winning cards.
"Chris," he greeted him, his voice smooth as silk. "I trust you have everything ready to my specifications?"
Chris nodded, pushing the document across the desk. "Here it is," he said, his voice pained.
Brett snatched the document and took a seat, crossing his legs leisurely while his eyes scanning the pages quickly. A slow smile spread across his face as he reached the crucial clause.
"Excellent," he murmured, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction. "Just as we discussed. Now, was that not easy?"
"There is one thing," Chris said, his voice firm. "This stays between us. Levi can never know about that I betrayed him."
Brett chuckled, his eyes meeting Chris's. "Don't you worry, Chris," he said. "Levi will never know. This is our little secret."
