The restaurant was buzzing with chatter. The occasion was a surprise party for Robert, celebrating his promotion as a "marketing director." Knowing Robert was a data entry clerk, Sam could barely contain the tension. He watched Robert bask in the attention, his smile wide and false. As the cake was brought out, Sam raised his glass. "To Robert!" he shouted, his voice echoing through the room. "May all your dreams… and promotions… come true!" The cheer died down, and Sam added, “I’m off to the toilet.” He walked out, and didn't come back.
