The chessboard was set up. Phoebe, in a gentlemanly manner, chose the black pieces while Olivia Parker, without hesitation, picked up the white pieces. After a brief contemplation, she pinched a piece and launched her attack.
Phoebe soon made his move.
The two of them, taking turns, began their game.
Phoebe's play was quite aggressive, quickly capturing two of Olivia's pieces. However, Olivia remained calm, slowly setting up her strategy without any hint of anger or frustration on her face from losing pieces.
Soon enough, she captured a significant piece of Phoebe's.
Before long, Olivia lost several more pieces, yet her expression remained serene.
...
In the end, her pieces on the board dwindled, but Phoebe saw the veiled threat she had hidden.
Shrugging, he softly offered,
"Let's call it a draw!"
Olivia's lips curved into a slight smile as she stood up from her chair, "Xiaojue, Xiaoqi, it's your turn now?"
