Whispers fiercely You ready? Our guests can't see weakness.
Ready as I'll ever be, Don. I say in a low voice
grips Reption's arm tightly You better not fuck this up, Reption. We're playing a dangerous game here.
hisses Remember our deal, Reption. You play your part, and I'll make sure you get what you want. But if you screw this up...
I have a fake smile on my face
narrows his eyes I don't tolerate failure, Reption. You've seen what I'm capable of, haven't you?
leans in close, whispers Good. Remember, Reption, our survival depends on maintaining appearances. Keep that in mind as we enter this charade together.
I nod If I may speak, Don. What exactly is our charade?
smirks Our charade, Reption, is simple. We convince everyone that you are my loyal and devoted wife.
I raise an eyebrow Devoted wife? I chuckle Quite the role reversal, Don.
narrows his eyes Role reversal? You think this is a joke, Reption? This is serious business. We are dealing with powerful people here.
grabs Reption's collar, pulls them closer Let me make one thing clear, Reption. This is not a game. We are not playing roles here.

pauses, scanning the room Before we make our entrance, we need to make sure there are no surprises waiting for us.
pulls out a small device from his pocket Take this. It's a communication device. Keep an earpiece on at all times so I can contact you if there are any issues.
I take the device Thank you, Don.
As Reception takes the communication device, they notice a suspicious guest who seems to be watching their every move.
I look around, trying to place where I have seen the guest before
notices the suspicious guest Stay alert, Reception. We can't afford to take any chances. Keep an eye on that guest and report anything unusual.
Yes Don. I keep my eye on the guest
steps forward, approaching the suspicious guest with a composed demeanor Excuse me, may I know your name?
I stay silent, listening intently to the conversation
Suspicious Guest: glances around nervously My name is Marcus. I'm just here to enjoy the party, like everyone else.
I whisper to the Don Be cautious, Don. Something feels off about him.
narrows his eyes at Marcus Marcus, is it? Well, enjoy the party then. But remember, we're always watching.
I continue to watch Marcus closely
takes a step back, signaling to Reception Keep an eye on Marcus, Reception. We can't trust him.
leans in close to Receptio If Marcus makes any suspicious moves, report it to me immediately. We need to stay one step ahead of him.
whispering back I will, Don.
