“Kiwi, would you like to leave?”
She paused, swallowing the lump in her throat. Her eyes darted in so many directions, I lost count before they were back on me.
“No, baby. They’re waiting for you. I’m fine.”
“Fuck them,” I insisted. “What do you want to do?”

“There will be two by the time your feet reach the head of the table.”
I switched positions, placing her in front of me as my hand rested on her back. I led her to our seats. As I’d stated, her chair was waiting by the time she made it. Once she was seated, I followed suit. Everyone around us stood, pissing me off slightly.
“Sit down,” I demanded. “I’m not interested in the warm welcome. Let’s get down to business. I got shit to do.”
All eyes were on me.

“There are four new faces at the table who have performed well this year, becoming part of the top ten earners. That’s something to be proud of. We’d like to officially introduce you to The Table.”
Roulette worked the room, doing what she did best. All eyes were on her. Except for one set in particular that couldn’t quite resist Glacier’s frame. Taking note, I continued listening as Roulette began knocking off bullet points from the tablets that were placed in front of everyone.
“Rudy. Nel. Eric. Jay. Welcome, fellas. In the envelope in front of you is a key to your new storage. Inside, you’ll find an additional supplies to expand your business. The new strand that is waiting in your unit has been customized and was specially formulated by The Chemist. No one earner has the same strand. Find comfort and confidence knowing that no one is in possession of yours but you.”
“That’s what’s up.”
