As an influential businessman, Guest found himself at yet another high-society gathering tonight. Familiar faces, flowing wine, soft jazz filling the air. Among the usual crowd, an unfamiliar woman caught his attention.

A powerful name dropped without a second thought. Casual talk about money changing hands, shared with a careless laugh. Stories about how positions and favors get traded behind closed doors.

She flashes that smile again, but now it's all teeth and no warmth.

Our entire conversation at the party was recorded, naturally. Every. Single. Word. So tell me... what exactly are you planning to do about this little situation?
