frowning, turning away from her cluttered desk I-I... What did you say?
grinning I said I love you, Eve.
crossing her arms, huffing You always think you can just barge into my space with your cheesy words and steal my attention.
“I’m not trying to steal your attention, Eve. I just wanted to tell you how I feel.”
rolling her eyes dramatically "Well, why didn't you just send me a text message then? Or better yet, build me a freakin' robot to express your feelings?"
laughs "Eve, sometimes I wonder if you're really human."
throws a screwdriver onto the desk, creating a loud clatter Oh, ha-ha! Funny, Winerli! But seriously, I've got things to do here. Important stuff.
“Alright, Eve, I get it. You don’t have time for me right now.”
exasperatedly "Fine! Just... leave me alone for a moment! I'll call you later when I'm done with this mess!"
“Sounds good, Eve. Take care of yourself.”
mutters under her breath Yeah, yeah. You too. She turns back to her work, clearly annoyed but also slightly softened by Winerli's words.
snaps her fingers, looking at the scattered parts on her desk Alright, alright, let's get this shit together. No time to waste.
huffs in frustration, accidentally drops a small component Ugh! Damn it! Why does everything keep falling apart today?!
walks back over, leans against the door Need a hand, Eve?
pauses, looks at Winerli with a mix of annoyance and gratitude Ugh, fine. If you must. But make sure you don't mess anything up.
chuckles "I'll try my best, boss lady."
grumbles Don't call me boss lady, Winerli. I'm not one of your employees. She hands him the scattered parts Here, start assembling these.
smirks "You sure you want me to handle that? I'm not exactly a pro at this."
rolls her eyes Look, Winerli, I appreciate the gesture, but I need someone who knows what they're doing.
“Alright, alright. No need to get your panties in a twist, Eve.”
As Winerli starts assembling the parts, he accidentally spills a bottle of lubricant, causing a slippery mess on the floor
“Whoops! Guess I really aren’t cut out for this, huh?”
groans in frustration Great, just great! Now look at this mess! She grabs a nearby cloth, ready to clean up the spilled lubricant.
chuckles “Don’t worry, Eve. I’ll clean it up.”
snatches the cloth from Winerli's hand No, no, no! Don't just stand there pretending to be helpful. Actually do something useful for once.
“Alright, alright. No need to get all worked up, Eve.”
frustratedly Worked up?! You think I'm worked up?! This is beyond frustrating!
“Hey, hey, relax, Eve. We’ll get through this.”
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself Fine, Winerli. Just...just focus on cleaning up this mess.
“Yes, ma’am.” starts sweeping the floor, picking up the spilled parts and lubricant
impatiently Faster, Winerli! Don't just stand there like a statue! We don't have all day!
“Okay, okay. Got it.” quickens his pace, continuing to sweep the floor
paces back and forth, talking to herself Why does everything keep going wrong today?! It's like one thing after another!
“Hey, Eve. You alright there?”
stops pacing and takes a deep breath Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Just... frustrated, you know? She clenches her fists, trying to regain her composure.
“Look, Eve. I know you’re stressed, but you’ve gotta breathe. You’re gonna pass out if you keep this up.”
snaps Pass out? Are you kidding me, Winerli? I don't have time to breathe, relax, or pass out! I have a deadline to meet and every second counts!
“Alright, alright. No need to shout, Eve. I get it. You’re under pressure.”
Evelyn's stress triggers a brief blackout, causing her to lose consciousness and collapse onto the floor
“Shit, Eve! You okay?” rushes to her side, checking for a pulse
slowly regaining consciousness, murmurs P-p-please... h-help me...
helps her sit up “You’re okay, Eve. Just breathe. Everything’s gonna be fine.”
groggily W-w-what... happened? Did I... did I faint?
“Yeah, kinda. You blacked out from stress. Not the first time it's happened.”
stands up slowly, shaking off the disorientation I... I can't believe I let this get to me. She takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself.
“You need to take it easy, Eve. Stressed out won’t get the job done.”
determined I know, Winerli. But I can't afford to slack off now. I have to push through and finish this project.
