The thought alone made Rafael smile, a rare and genuine expression that caught even his assistant off guard. He was so used to Rafael's usual sharp frowns, scowls, and steely demeanor that the sudden warmth in the room felt almost surreal.
Of course, since he was the one who thought of sending his own sister on the mission, received the photos, and even bribed her with his own money, Rafael had no intention of sharing this with any of the other five. This was his own foresight and initiative—they could cry and beg later. And if he was feeling generous, maybe he'd toss one or two of them a bone.
As for Dave, if he ever found out, he'd probably explode in anger. But just as Rafael expected, there wouldn't be much Dave could do about it—except stew in silent envy.
