"I despise you so fucking much that I want you to be sent off to the other side of the world, Athena." He takes his last step, his front pressing against my back, pushing my pelvis into the counter. "But I also need you as much as the air that I bre...

I've been sitting here for the past two hours, trying to decide. It shouldn't be that hard. I have three options; I just need to choose the best one.
I stare at those three files. One, two, three.
I push one away and focus on the last two. I look back at the third one and sigh placing it back next to the others.

I hang up the phone quickly and tell my assistant on the intercom to send out the paperwork.
I grab my phone and call the other winners. My palms sweat with apprehension about what I want to propose.
"Hi, Theo. It's Athena. Could you and Ares come by the office, please?"

As we walk into the building, I'm stunned by the beauty of it. The walls are dark and the lights give off only a faint glow, but enough to illuminate the space. The green of the plants along the walls blends in with the dark color of the room but brings a certain freshness to it.
The grey weather outside makes the aesthetics of the building a little more attractive. It makes you feel small as you walk through the corridors.
