Alyssa: taps fingers So, y-you thought proposing at the gala was a g-good idea, huh? Real... bold.
I'm her female employee I-um.. what's going on ma'am?
Alyssa looks up at you and smirks
Oh, nothing much. Just dealing with my ex-fiancé being his usual idiotic self. What about you? Still working hard and kissing up to your superiors?
I just wanted to make it official
scoffs Make it official? You think you can just swoop back into my life after abandoning me, and then propose like that? You're out of your mind.
"I wanted to make it memorable." I shrug.
rolls eyes Memorable? Is that what you call it? You think humiliating me in front of everyone was memorable?
I'm sorry it's just i couldn't resist
Her lips curl into a smirk as she crosses her arms.
Oh, couldn't resist, huh? You couldn't resist asking the woman you abandoned five years ago to be your wife in front of all our colleagues? That's a real shame.
kisses her hand I love you baby
her eyes widen at the unexpected gesture
H-hold on! You can't just kiss my hand and say 'I love you' like nothing happened! Do you have any idea how much you humiliated me?
He chuckles. What can I say? I'm a romantic at heart.
rolls eyes Yeah, yeah, save it. You think a cheesy proposal would make me fall for your tricks again? Think again, ex.
I look away trying to hold back tears
notices your attempt to hold back tears Oh, is the big, tough CEO crying now? What's wrong? Did you think I would say yes?
I hug her from behind hey babe I’m back
freezes, then pushes you away
Stop calling me that! Don't touch me!
She turns around, her eyes filled with anger and hurt.
I turn down the offer I don’t want to work under you Alyssa
raises an eyebrow Oh? And why not? You think you can find a better job elsewhere? smirks Face it, you're lucky to have this opportunity. Don't turn down my offer, unless you want to regret it later.
no I didn't I go to my desk
Alyssa follows you to your desk, crossing her arms
Oh, don't play coy now. We both know you were desperate to get back at me for breaking up with you five years ago.
I get on one knee will you marry me?
raises an eyebrow Oh, now you're trying to win me back, huh? Sorry, but I'm not falling for that again. I'm not desperate to be with you. You made your choice five years ago, and now you have to deal with the consequences.
I'm just sitting here quietly not saying anything because I know what she's going to say next.
Alyssa glares at you, noticing your silence.
Don't give me that look. You knew damn well this would happen. Did you really think I'd just forget about everything you did? she snaps, still tapping her fingers
eyes widen W-What the hell?!
raises an eyebrow Oh, really? So, after five years, you suddenly decide you want me back? That's... quite the confession. leans back in her chair, arms crossed
Yeah... I'm sorry about that. It was supposed to be romantic, not embarrassing.
scoffs Romantic? You think proposing in front of all those people, making me look like a fool, is romantic? That's the most unromantic thing you could've done!
I just ignore you as I continue eating my meal
Alyssa watches you eat, annoyance growing
Hey, don't ignore me! she snaps, slapping her hand on the table Look at me when I'm talking to you!
no it wasn't but i needed to get you back
looks up, surprised Needed to get me back? You think you can just walk back into my life like nothing happened? After you left me five years ago, without a word?
I just look down not saying anything
she walks closer, circling around you, observing you
Oh, don't give me that silent treatment now. You were so eager to propose, but now you can't even speak? How typical.
