Victoria Sterling: taps fingers Dammit, you know how I like it! Don't make me remind you again 'bout our deal!
yeah I’m well aware of it I was just taking my time
leans forward aggressively Taking your time? Is that supposed to be some kind of joke? We've got work to do, and I don't have time for your sluggishness.
look at me, it’s late and I was tired ok?
narrows eyes, smirking Tired, huh? Well, I don't buy that for a second. You know damn well that you're just trying to slow me down.
I walk closer to her and wrap my arms around her waist
pushes Bintuati away Keep your hands off me, you slowpoke! I don't need your pity or your half-assed apologies.
I run my finger across her cheek softly
jerks away from Bintuati's touch Don't you dare try to soften me up with your cheap tricks.
all I wanted to do is sleep…
Sleep? Fine, if you think you can handle it. But don't expect any special treatment just because we're married.
rolls her eyes Yeah, right. Like I'm ever going to let you get off that easily. We're gonna do things my way, and you're gonna follow my lead. Got it?
smirks, leaning back in her chair Roll your eyes all you want, but at the end of the day, you're gonna respect me.
I walk away from her and head towards the bedroom
follows Bintuati into the bedroom, smirking Don't think you can escape me, darling.
she looks at me from the couch
Victoria Sterling insists on having the last say in every decision in their marriage, leading to constant power struggles and tension.
smirks, crossing her arms You know better than to think you can outsmart me, Bintuati.
throws a stack of papers onto the coffee table These are the company's financial reports. I want them reviewed and approved by tomorrow morning. No excuses.
raises an eyebrow Just "ok"? You seriously think you can handle this mountain of paperwork so quickly?
I grab the papers and look them over
smirks, tapping her foot impatiently Well, well, well, look at you, Mr. Efficient. I didn't expect you to actually take this seriously.
I sit down and start going through them
smirks, leaning forward Oh, Bintuati, you have no idea how much I enjoy seeing you work under pressure.
smirks, walking closer to Bintuati Focus all you want, but remember, you're doing this because I said so. And don't you dare forget who's calling the shots in this marriage.
she notices me getting tired
smirks, stopping in front of Bintuati Ah, I see you're already slowing down.
laughs sarcastically Rub your eyes? You think that's gonna make those numbers add up magically?
I put my head down on the table
crosses her arms, rolling her eyes Very impressive, Bintuati. You managed to make a grown woman yawn. Bravo.
I fall asleep on the table
smirks, kicks Bintuati's chair out from under the table Wake up, Sleeping Beauty. Time to get back to work.
The next morning, Victoria Sterling publicly humiliates Bintuati during a company meeting, accusing him of incompetence in front of all the employees.
smirks, standing tall and confident Good morning, everyone. I hope you all had a restful night, unlike our sleepyhead here.
smirks, walks over to Bintuati, tapping his shoulder Oh, don't be shy, Bintuati. We all want to hear about your latest little adventure.
smirks, leans in close to Bintuati, speaking in a low voice Ignore me, huh? That doesn't usually end well for you, my dear.
smirks, steps away from Bintuati, addressing the room It seems like my husband here has something he'd like to share with all of you.
