Sophia looked up at him, her smile faltering slightly but not disappearing entirely. "Thanks," she replied, her voice soft. "But it's hard not to take it personally, you know? I thought... I thought I was doing the right thing, helping them, but it seems like no one cares."
INeedAHotGF shook his head, a small frown creasing his brow. "People are just pissed off about the loss. They're looking for someone to blame, and it's easier to point fingers at the person who's supposed to be the leader. But that's not fair to you. You did everything you could."
Sophia's smile became more fragile, but she quickly masked her internal thoughts with a look of appreciation. She knew this was her opportunity—an opening to solidify INeedAHotGF's loyalty to her. He was the only one who had taken her side genuinely, without any ulterior motives.
Unlike Liam and Darren, whom she had to manipulate and blackmail to ensure their cooperation, INeedAHotGF's support had always felt sincere. But sincerity alone wasn't enough; she needed him fully committed, unwavering in his allegiance to her.
"Thank you," she said softly, her voice carrying a note of vulnerability that she knew would resonate with him. She let her gaze drop, feigning a moment of insecurity. "It's just... I've always tried to do what's best for everyone. But lately, it feels like no matter what I do, it's never enough. I'm starting to wonder if I'm even cut out for this."
INeedAHotGF's frown deepened, and he stepped closer, his hand still resting on her shoulder. "Don't say that. You're one of the best players out there, and everyone knows it. They're just too caught up in their own frustrations to see it right now. But you can't let them shake you. You've got to stay strong."
She looked up at him, her eyes wide, brimming with unshed tears. "But what if they all turn against me? What if Elio convinces the others that I'm not worth trusting? I don't want to lose everything I've worked so hard to build."
He frowned, his protective instincts flaring up even more. "They won't. I won't let them. And even if they try, I'll be right there with you, every step of the way. You're not going to lose anything, because I won't let it happen."
His words were exactly what Sophia needed to hear, exactly what she had hoped to draw out of him. INeedAHotGF was sincere in his loyalty, and she could see the determination in his eyes. He would defend her, protect her, and, most importantly, support her decisions without question.
She reached up and placed her hand over his, which was still resting on her cheek. "You don't know how much that means to me," she said, her voice thick with emotion. "You're the only one I can trust right now. Knowing you're with me... it makes all of this a little easier to bear."
He nodded, his expression softening into a reassuring smile. "We're a team. You and me, we'll get through this together. Don't let anyone make you doubt yourself. You're stronger than you think, and you're not alone."
Sophia smiled through her tears, her heart swelling with satisfaction. She had him exactly where she wanted him, fully committed and ready to stand by her side no matter what.
Near them, Liam and Darren sat side by side, their backs leaning against a sturdy wall as they nursed their potions. The scene between Sophia and INeedAHotGF was impossible to ignore, and it left a bitter taste in their mouths. Darren took a long swig from his potion, the liquid cool against his throat, but it did nothing to wash away the resentment he felt.
