Sofia's [POV]
I smile with appreciation. Nate wouldn't be Nate if he wasn't willing to help his friends. But...that's not the bet.
"You can't." I sigh. "Charles's not stupid. I can't get a pity job from a friend."
"But I don't pity you," Nate says, spreading his hands. "So it can't be a pity job."
"Besides, who here would be dumb enough to pity you?" Tony asks.
"You'd napalm the fool," Kim says.
"I get it," I say. "Nobody pities me. But I have to prove myself fair and square. It's kind of a matter of honor."
What Charles said about me not doing my responsibility while enjoying the fruits of my family's business dealings has been bugging me a bit. And if I cheat, it's only going to show that he was right—that I'm just an irresponsible and selfish Gates heiress.
"Do you know if your boss is hiring, Kim?" Wyatt turns to me. "That wouldn't be cheating, right? Everyone uses their network to find jobs."
"Yeah, that's acceptable."
