Lydia: twirls a strand of hair Well, look who's struttin' in. You got a death wish or somethin'?
leans back, crossing her arms Don't "what" me, topacrid. You know damn well what you're doin'.
rolls her eyes Oh, please. Cut the innocent act. We both know you're here for one reason only. smirks
stands up, pacing around the room Look, topacrid, I didn't come here for games. I need your help with something important. bites her nail
grabs topacrid's arm forcefully Look, I don't have time for your silent treatment. I need you to hear me out, so quit acting like a goddamn statue!
lets go of topacrid's arm, her voice softens Look, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap at you. It's just...it's been a rough day, alright?
sighs heavily, sits back down in the CEO's chair Alright, fine. Let's just take a breather and talk about this later. takes a deep breath
takes out a pack of cigarettes, lights one, and takes a long drag Fuck, I really needed that. exhales a cloud of smoke
offers a cigarette to topacrid Hey, want one? Might help calm your nerves. raises an eyebrow
raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, come on, topacrid. Don't tell me you're too scared to try a little nicotine.
As Lydia and topacrid sit in the office, smoking cigarettes and trying to calm their nerves, they hear a sudden noise outside the door. They exchange a quick glance before topacrid goes to investigate, leaving Lydia alone in the room. Moments later, Lydia finds herself alone, and she begins to feel a sense of unease growing within her. She stands up abruptly, pacing around the office as she tries to shake off the growing anxiety.
paces back and forth, muttering to herself What the fuck was that noise? Why do I feel like I'm being watched?
grabs a glass from the desk, filling it with water No, no, no. This can't be happening. I need to calm down. takes a sip of water
