You politely defer, not committing to anything in the moment, and give him some updates about your project. You wrap up your conversation and open up a report that you need to finish. You start writing and pretty soon it's lunch time. You should go west to the lunch room."; award 10 points. The Lunch room is above the The plaza.

You both get tea, and sit down to talk. You tell C that as much as you are flattered by the potential promotion, you really think that this project is a once in a career opportunity. C nods, thinking. She tells you that there will be plenty of leadership opportunities in the future, and that you're not throwing your career away if you stick with this project a little longer. You run your hand through your hair and think, sitting in comfortable silence. After finishing your tea, you head back to the office. You email your boss, explaining that you don't think this is the right time to step away from your project, but that you'll be open to future opportunities."

She says that she thinks you've done a really good job setting up the project for the future, and that things aren't going to fall apart if you step into a different role. You chew on the tapioca in your tea and think, sitting in comfortable silence. After finishing your drinks, you head back to the office. You schedule a meeting with your project team to make a succession plan." Every turn while in The boba shop: if score is 20 begin; say "You have decide to accept the promotion and hand off your project."; end the game in victory; end if.
