Chapter 6 - The Oceanfront Trap

The resort’s breathtaking oceanfront lawn was a vision of absolute paradise. The brilliant tropical sunshine was just beginning to shift into a warm, golden-hour sunset, casting long, elegant shadows across the manicured green grass.

Dozens of elite, wealthy guests stood near a small, beautifully carved wooden presentation platform, sipping champagne and enjoying the gentle breeze rustling through the palm trees.

Trevor stormed onto the lawn, her coral-pink embroidered outfit catching the warm light. She marched straight to the very front of the crowd, crossing her arms with a deeply smug, entitled expression. She fully believed she was about to ruin a lower-level employee's life and get a free vacation out of it.

Callie stood beside her, looking suddenly uncertain, her delicate gold jewelry catching the sunset. She noticed Corey sweating profusely, his pale blue linen shirt clinging to his back.

"Corey, why are you shaking?" Callie whispered, her eyes narrowing with suspicion. "Are you really a millionaire, or did you lie to my family?"

Corey couldn't answer. His throat was completely dry. He stared at the wooden platform in absolute terror.

A well-dressed announcer stepped up to the microphone, tapping it lightly. The elegant crowd quieted down, turning their attention to the stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Seawind Bluff," the announcer smiled warmly. "It is my absolute honor to introduce the visionary who runs this paradise. Please welcome our Managing Director."
