Duane’s body swayed. “Winter, | didn't... it was Willie, he’s the one who said you-"
“What he said doesn’t matter. What matters is that you broughtto this gathering, and you usedto strike
up a conversation with Mr. Plight, didn’t you? Or was that also Willie's idea? If so, he’s quite thorough, isn’t he?”

Winter curled her lips into a smirk, lifting her hand to pat his cheek. Her gaze was cold and merciless.
“When | like you, | can spoil you, love you, indulge you. But when | don't, | can discard you just as easily, like
trash. That's the rule-understood? If you want to survive in this industry, know your place. Don’t overestimate
yourself.
