“Victor in defeat, I may not possess your refined skills, but I am resolute in upholding my commitments. For you to renege on your word is an embarrassment of no small measure.”
Dottie’s voice was a hushed murmur.
Another voice chimed in, harmonizing with Dottie’s sentiment, “Indeed, Nancy seems heedless of her obligations when it comes to honoring pledges.”
“She boldly agreed in front of everyone, and now she claims it was a joke?”

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe critique of Nancy’s actions stoked her ire. Yet she clung to the belief that Millie had orchestrated her undoing. Her faith in Millie’s inevitable downfall propelled her to gamble.
Those who had once stood on her side now found themselves cloaked in silence, abstaining from lending voice to her cause.
Undaunted, Millie’s conviction shone with undiminished intensity.
“This was no mere jest. It was a genuine wager. The thas cfor you to honor your pledge.”
She was far from a pushover. Nancy had nearly brought her to the brink of oblivion. Sympathy for Nancy was an extravagance she could not afford.
Recollections of being ensnared in an icy pit, and enduring the chill of the surgeon’s table while a frigid blade loomed near her waist-
Nancy had spared her no clemency.
“Millie, your cruelty knows no bounds.” Nancy pronounced her verdict.
“Very well, I shall partake of it. But bear in mind, Millie, restitution shall find its way to you.”
With a purposeful stride, Nancy approached the water dispenser, retrieving a paper cup. Submerging it in the bucket, she imbibed its contents in one resolute draft. She cast the cup aside with a vehement flourish.
“Satisfied? You’ve achieved your aim, laying my pride to waste.”
Nancy retreated into the haven of her office.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDottie’s voice bore the brunt of her chagrin.
“She did vow to drain the entire bucket, yet her intake stopped at a solitary cup. What a vexatious creature.”
Millie glanced at the paper cup, now crumpled and abandoned. Indeed, it sufficed to humble a spirit as haughty as Nancy’s.
Back in her office, Nancy shut the door behind her and clenched her fists tightly.
There was a knock on the door.
Who could be looking for her now?
When she opened the door, two human resources representatives in formal clothing stood there.
The significance of their presence hit her immediately, causing her teeth to clench as if they might break.
