The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart

Piper looked pale as a ghost.

Wallace bit his lower lip hard, "I'm sorry."

He hadn't performed well, leading their team to a loss in the chess match, embarrassing them all!

Piper hadn't expected Wallace to drop the ball like this. A flicker of disdain passed through her eyes, but she mustered her strength and put on a solemn face. "Wallace, it's okay to lose once. It's all about keeping a cool head. You'll need to work on that." Wallace pursed his lips.

His mental game was off.

The harder he tried, the more elusive victory seemed!

Keegan returned, "Piper, I'll go up for a match. The old man has already agreed to come over."

His experience and calm demeanor made dragging out a game for an hour seem like no big deal.

"Okay."

Keegan stepped up to the plate, and Ulysses, noticing his arrival, toned down his usual intensity, greeting him, "Please, take a seat."

Keegan and Ulysses weren't from the same era of players; this was their first face-off.
