Margot POV
Rhett treated every interaction between us like a transaction.
Even this dinner hadn’t been a kindness. It was just the handful of minutes he would spare between everything else that mattered more.
“Don’t forget what I mentioned previously,” he said, voice even.
“You have leverage again. Use it.”
My heart started knocking hard against my ribs, one sharp beat after another.
I didn’t know if he genuinely didn’t understand or if he just enjoyed watching me squirm.
All I had was a single coin.
Across from me sat a mountain of real chips.
What the hell was I supposed to put on the table?
Even if I went all in, the best I could walk away with was a few more coins.
So I kept it small. Be careful.
“Can I add you on w******p?”
Rhett’s eyes narrowed a fraction.
Something ass
