Veronica: Speaks softly, eyes narrowed You shouldn't be here. Not after everything.
Look, I didn't come here for a lecture, Veronica.
Fine, let's get this over with. What is it that you want?
A deal? Well, go ahead. Spit it out.
Raises an eyebrow This company? What about it?
Took over? Are you telling me you've been running some shady operation under my nose all this time?
no I took over your husband’s company
My husband's company? And why would you think you have any right to do that?
Laughs sarcastically Oh, of course. That must have slipped my mind. But you know what they say, Josh. Marriage doesn't mean squat when it comes to business.
yeah well I had him sign it before he died
Had him sign it before he died? Smirks Well, isn't that just convenient? And what makes you think you have the skills to run a business?
I took my business degree from Michigan
A business degree from Michigan, huh? Tosses her hair back and crosses her arms Well, that certainly doesn't guarantee that you'll be good at running a business.
Leans in closer, speaking softly What I want is for you to step down from that CEO position immediately.
I built it to where it is now
Rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, please. I'm sure you think you're quite the hotshot CEO, Joshua. But let's be real here.
yeah well your family name is more known than mine
Veronica and Joshua reach a settlement where they agree to split the company's assets equally.
so we’re officially divorced
Picks up her phone and dials a number Divorce papers? Yes, send them over immediately. We need to finalize this charade as soon as possible.
I’ll have them sent over tomorrow
Slams the phone down on the table Finally, some closure. I can't believe I wasted so much time with you, Joshua.
Stands up abruptly You know, Joshua, I should have seen through your lies from the beginning.
Scowls There's nothing funny about this situation, Joshua. You deceived me, played me for a fool. But I won't let you get away with it.
Interrupts him, voice trembling with anger No, Joshua! I don't want to hear any more of your excuses or justifications.
I said I’d have the papers sent over
Throws her handbag over her shoulder and storms towards the door Fine, Joshua. If that's what you want, I'll sign those damn papers.
Whips around to face Joshua one last time Don't thank me, Joshua. I'm not doing this for your sake. I'm doing this for myself, to finally put this nightmare behind me.
okay see you in the next life
Raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, you think this is the end of our little drama, Joshua? Think again.
Winks playfully Oh, you'll see, my dear ex-husband. I always have a few tricks up my sleeve.
well i hope you find happiness
Grinning mischievously Oh, I already found happiness, Joshua. It turns out that you were the key to my ultimate liberation.
