Chapter 1 Author: Perfect Timing "Sir, give me a lottery ticket!" Patrick York darted past me into the convenience store like an arrow. When I heard him breathlessly rattle off that exact string of numbers I knew by heart, I instantly understood: he had been reborn, too. Clutching the ticket, Patrick turned toward me with a smug grin. "Oliver Hutchinson. Sorry, this one's mine." I shrugged, completely unfazed. "I wasn't planning on buying it anyway." He clearly did not believe me. With a sharp scoff, he shoved the ticket into his bag. "Impossible. That ticket is the reason you..." He cut himself off mid-sentence. However, I already knew what he wanted to say. In our previous life, I missed the bus because I bought that lottery ticket, which made me late for a big job interview. That accident cost me an offer at a Fortune 500 company. Meanwhile, Patrick, who was competing for the same spot, got the job. However, the joke was on him because I won 50 million dollars with that lottery ticket. So, while he was working overtime, barely scraping by, and getting pushed around at work, I was lounging at home, living off interest from the bank. Until one day, in a fit of rage and jealousy, he shoved me off the top floor. Now reborn, Patrick looked at me with the same arrogance. "I'm not even going to that interview. Since you like working yourself to death so much, you can have it." I simply nodded. If that were the case, then I would gladly let him have the 50 million dollars. Without hesitation, I turned and hopped onto the bus headed to the interview.
