Panic-texting your best friend during a World Cup match w...

Conversation

1. Jumbotron just flashed my text across the whole stadium.
2. Which text?
3. No way.
4. It literally showed 'making him pay' with my full name.
5. Who is 'him'?
6. Theo — the manager I complained about.
7. Theo's at the match?
8. Yes, box five, opposite our seats.
9. This is bad, like firing-bad.
10. I only sent that to you, Ava, as a draft.
11. I didn't forward anything, promise.
12. Who else saw your drafts?
13. No one; my phone never left my hand.
14. Did your phone auto-sync with the stadium app?
15. It asked to pair earlier; I declined.
16. Mark's in the VIP box, he's posting stories.
17. Mark's there? He knows Theo.
18. Mark just tagged 'crazy night', story blowing up.
19. If Mark saved that, it's everywhere already.
20. Why would the jumbotron add your name though?
21. Because someone uploaded a screenshot with my name.
22. Wait, I screenshotted it last night for evidence.
23. Why would you keep that screenshot?
24. Because I was going to show HR.
25. So Ava had motive to leak it?
26. No, I would've redacted names; I kept it private.
27. Someone edited it to put my name visibly.
28. Who wants you exposed right now?
29. Theo's wife is in the director's box.
30. She just looked up and pointed.
31. They're live-streaming Theo's box to fans.
32. Security messaged: 'Please vacate box immediately'.
33. Theo's standing up and walking toward you now.
34. He's smiling at me like he knows everything.
35. Don't leave your seat, stay there.
