I was a patient man to the very core.

Always the number two to the man at the top... continuously playing the game.

I knew that biding my time would pay off eventually and then a winning bid at auction and it would all be mine.

I'd played the role that was expected of me and now it was my time to shine.

I could finally live the dream I'd always wanted.

I just never expected him; I never expected to lose...

I never thought I'd fall for the boss, twelve years younger than me.
