Derek gestured his hand and the scantily clad women filed out of the room, leaving Eva and a meek-looking woman with thick-rimmed glasses and a disheveled ponytail. The woman seemed to blend into the background, barely making a sound as she took a seat and stared at her tablet.
Derek turned his attention to Eva, his eyes scanning her up and down. Eva felt a hint of anger but she kept her cool. "You don't know martial arts," he said abruptly, surprising her.
Eva furrowed her brows. "What does that have to do with anything? I am a mystic."

Suddenly, the silent woman let out a small gasp, drawing everyone's attention to her. She held up her tablet, which displayed an adorable video of a cat playing with a ball of yarn.
Eva rolled her eyes, irritated by the interruption. "Can you please focus?" she snapped.
