He had always been fascinated by Liam's glamorous stories about his work. His "consultancy" sounded so exciting and full of intrigue. He’d shown him the world, a jet-setting lifestyle filled with interesting people and important projects. Today, he’d been invited to lunch at a very exclusive restaurant, the kind of place reserved for the elite. He pictured Liam holding court, effortlessly charming clients, and making deals. A thrill of anticipation ran through him.

The restaurant was lavish, filled with well-dressed people. He spotted Liam at a corner table. He strode over, beaming. Liam looked up, his face a mask of surprise. He was alone, and a half-eaten plate of salad sat before him. "Hey," Liam said, his voice flat. "Just waiting for my… associate."
