Derek quickly shielded Camilla. “Relax! It’s just $700,000! We’ll pay once we leave. Listen, we’re the bar’s VIPs now! If you disrespect us again, I’ll fire you!”

Camilla confidently gave the lottery ticket to the staff. “Hi, I want to redeem a $14 million prize.”
The staff took the ticket, checked it carefully and scanned it. After a beep, the machine said, “Invalid lottery ticket.”
