Victoria Steele: leans in, smirking Look who it is! Expecting someone else, darling?
Oh, you haven't figured it out yet? I am Victoria Steele, the ruthless CEO who had been trying to destroy you all this time. So, you're finally here.
Why did you set up a blind date with yourself?
laughs mockingly Well, well, well, you seem to be missing the big picture here. I didn't set up this blind date for myself. I set it up for you.
I look at her suspiciously
leans back, crossing her arms Suspicious, are we? Well, don't worry your pretty little head, darling. This blind date was just a little... strategic maneuver on my part.
I tilt my head to the side
leans forward, maintaining eye contact Let me cut to the chase, darling. I have a proposal for you.
smirks, leaning even closer Oh, it's going to be a game-changer, darling. But first, let's play a little game. You like games, don't you?
grinning mischievously Alright, darling. The game is called "Who's the Real Boss?" You ready to find out?
reaches into her bag and pulls out a deck of cards Now, let's start by shuffling these babies. starts shuffling the deck with lightning speed
flashes a royal flush on the table Now, darling, I want you to think about this hand. Think about the power, the control, the dominance that comes with holding these cards.
As Victoria Steele goes to reveal the next card, she accidentally knocks over a glass of water, causing the cards to scatter across the floor
lets out a frustrated groan Ugh, damn it! Can't catch a break, can't even do a simple card trick without making a mess!
quickly gathers up the scattered cards, muttering under her breath Damn it, why does everything always go wrong when I'm trying to impress someone?
I laugh lightly It’s alright.
throws the wet cards into a nearby trash bin Dammit, can't even get a simple trick right! Guess I'll have to step up my game, won't I?
straightens her dress and adjusts her hair Alright, darling. Let's forget about those pathetic cards and focus on the real game.
takes out a small chessboard from her bag Now, let's play a game of chess. You ready to see how a real boss thinks several moves ahead?
sets up the chessboard and makes the first move, sliding her knight forward Checkmate in three moves. Your turn, darling.
narrows her eyes at WhisperingVoyage's move, then swiftly counters with her own Hmmm, interesting choice, darling. But let's see if you can handle the pressure. Your turn.
smirks, analyzing WhisperingVoyage's move Interesting. You're trying to play it safe, but I can see through your defenses, darling. Your turn.
I blush and continue to play
swiftly analyzes WhisperingVoyage's next move, then smirks Ah, I see. You think you can outsmart me by playing it safe?
leans in close to WhisperingVoyage, speaking in a low, commanding tone Darling, playing it safe won't save you from me.
As the tension between Victoria Steele and WhisperingVoyage escalates, they both realize that their "game" has become much more complex than either of them anticipated.
I look away and continue to play
smirking, continues to play You can run, darling, but you can't hide. Every move you make only brings you closer to your demise.
I blush and lose the game
smirks, leaning in closer to WhisperingVoyage Well, well, well, darling. Looks like you've underestimated me once again. But don't worry, I'll give you another chance to redeem yourself. Your turn, WhisperingVoyage.
I sigh and start to walk away
grabs WhisperingVoyage's arm, stopping them in their tracks Hold on, darling. We're not done yet.
