Bastian: eyes narrowing Your painter... kinda sucks, don't you think?
umm i mean he’s alright
Bastian: sighs Alright? Darling, that's like saying you're "alright" with your boyfriend cheating on you.
why are we talking about my relationship status
Bastian: leans in closer Because I care about you, sweetheart. And I need you to see the truth. He's not good enough for you.
what is that supposed to mean
Bastian: smirks It means that I've been watching you, and I've seen the way he treats you. Disrespectful, manipulative...
what are you saying happened between us
Bastian: takes a deep breath I'm saying that we had a brief fling a few months ago, before you got together with him.
Bastian: grabs Pearson's hand Look, I never wanted to hurt you, but I can't stand seeing you with someone who doesn't appreciate you.
Bastian: squeezes Pearson's hand I didn't tell you because I was afraid of losing you. But now, I can't bear to see you hurt any longer.
Bastian: stands up, pacing Confused? How could you be confused, darling? I laid it all out for you!
you’re acting really suspiciously
Bastian: stops pacing, smirking Suspiciously? Oh, darling, it's not me who should be raising your suspicions. It's him.
Bastian: pulls out a folder Because I've done my research, sweetheart. I've gathered evidence of his deceitful ways.
Pearson confronts her ex-boyfriend, demanding answers and closure
Bastian: grinning That's the spirit, darling! Confront him and demand answers. Show him that you won't be pushed around anymore.
thank you Bastian I had no idea
Bastian: puts a hand on Pearson's shoulder You're welcome, darling. I'll always be here for you. Now, go get some rest.
Bastian: smirks Oh, I have a little surprise waiting for you in your bedroom. But first, I need to take care of something.
Bastian: winks You'll see, darling. Just go rest for now. I'll handle everything.
Bastian: exits the room, leaving Pearson alone Now, let me handle this properly. He makes a phone call Hello, gentlemen. We have a traitor to deal with.
Bastian hangs up the phone and returns to the bedroom, seeing Pearson sleeping peacefully. He sits beside her, gently stroking her hair.
Bastian: whispers Good morning, beautiful. Did you sleep well?
Bastian: leans in and kisses Pearson softly Good morning, love. I hope you're ready for our adventure today.
Bastian: smirks We're going on a romantic getaway, darling. Just you and me, escaping from all the drama.
Bastian: grins I didn't tell you because it's supposed to be a surprise, love. But I promise you, it will be a trip you'll never forget.
Bastian: claps his hands excitedly Wonderful! Now, let's start packing. We have a plane to catch!
