The title says it all but I am going to explain anyway. A reimagining following ,mostly, the same characters with what I deemed to be a better plot trajectory. Hope you enjoy.

Doubletree Hilton Hotel, Downtown LA
"Y/N, you ready?"
I turned to Julian and said, "Yeah, of course."
"Don't stress about it much. This is only a formality for us since the main people already know who won. Just don't drop your guard with any of them, alright?" I nodded at Julian. I focused on what he said and tried to get calm and comfortable at the waiting lounge couch till I saw Josh coming our way.
He looked more tense than I was and scared for some reason till he caught my glance and gave me his best smile. "Follow me," he said.
After I did some little hops to loosen up to get rid of my excess energy, we followed Josh to a spacious private room. At its center, it had a large table that was obviously made for more chairs than the 7 that were awkwardly put around it.
"Took you boys long enough. I was starting to get lonely." I swiftly turned behind me to see Mary in a red dress with a glass of wine in her hand. "Wait, what the fuck?" "Shush Y/N. Be formal now." She said and made her way past us to one of the 2 seats on the other side, and we went and filled the row in front. She continued to look at us with a smile and occasional sips of her drink and the guys seemed unbothered by it.

"Where did he pick you up?" Nate asked her interrupting me, "Huh?" she replied, "I said, where did he pick you up? Cause last time Kaleb had a girl with him, she turned out to be an escort." "And the one before that was some to-be escort that he picked up at that party in Europe," said Julian. "So, where did he pick you up?" Josh finished.
She downed the rest of her drink and said, "At the boardroom. I am his business associate." The guys glanced at each other and looked surprised. "Been a long time since he fucked someone from work. Seems like my brother is getting desperate." They didn't bother continuing the conversation since they reached their goal of making her irritated.
I was going to ask where the others were when I heard footsteps approaching the room. Everyone else caught on and stood up and I followed reflexively.
I didn't see them right away since I had my back to the door but only when they came to take a seat. One, a fair-looking blond, went and sat on the lone chair next to Mary, and the other, a man who Josh was the spitting image of — his father Mr. Michaels, came and sat on the big chair on my left.
