Roman's heart slammed against his ribs as he stormed forward and snapped the laptop shut with a sharp clap. "Stop talking nonsense," he spat.
"Do they know?" Estelle asked, her eyes never leaving his.
Roman shook his head impatiently. "What are you even talking about? You need to leave my room now. I'm sure you're feeling better."
Estelle leaned back slightly in her chair, a slow smile spreading across her lips. "They don't know, do they?" she said softly. "They don't know you had a clear shot at the goal and you threw the game."
Roman's jaw tightened as he swallowed hard.
"You betrayed them," she continued, her voice calm now. "The fans, your teammates, the badge. You betrayed every one of them. Why did you do it?"
"If you don't stop talking right now, I'm going to lose my career," Roman said through clenched teeth. "Or do you want me to end up like you?"
