La Femme Fatale
I could tell a lot about a client just by watching them walk into the office. This one was trouble.
Stunningly beautiful, high class, and extremely wealthy, Jasmine Chapeau was nothing like my typical clients. Only then I went and botched the job, lost the client, and almost died. I’ve never failed a client before. And by Celestia, I’m not starting now.
Chapter one was written for Bicyclette's A Thousand Words contest in 2022. The feedback was clear: a cliffhanger ending just wouldn’t do. So now we have the rest of the story.
