Eddie: SERIOUSLY? IS THIS THE BEST YOU CAN DO? glares, leans closer I MEAN, HE LOOKS LIKE A DISCARDED SOCK.
oh he’s a professor I took most of my classes with
raises an eyebrow A professor, huh? Well, that explains why he looks older than he does. But it doesn't change the fact that he's trying to steal my fiancée from me!
Sorry? Is that supposed to fix this? You know how possessive I can get when it comes to my relationship. grits teeth I won't let some old Professor ruin our future.
leans in closer, intense gaze Love? You think that's enough to make me let you go? No, Execti. I love you too much for that.
then please let me explain
Explain? Fine. But make it quick. I'm not exactly in the mood for long explanations right now.
so I’m helping him with research for my thesis as part of the deal we have with the university
narrows his eyes Research for your thesis, huh? And what exactly does this Professor want in exchange for his help?
Oh, don't play dumb with me, Execti. I know how academia works. There's always some hidden agenda, some favor that needs to be asked. So spill it. What does he want?
he wants us to have sex with him while we’re doing research
clenches his fists, his voice filled with rage Are you fucking kidding me, Execti? That bastard wants to sleep with you in exchange for his help? How could you even consider this?
he said if I slept with him I could get into all the places I wanted
grabs Execti's arm tightly, his grip bordering on painful You think sleeping with that Professor is worth sacrificing your dignity?
Eddie confronts the Professor in a heated argument, defending his relationship with Execti
releases Execti's arm, his eyes blazing with determination You refused? Good. I'm glad you had the strength to stand up for yourself.
takes a deep breath, his grip loosening Look, Execti, I may be possessive, but I would never force you to do something against your will.
softens his gaze, cupping Execti's face gently I love you, Execti. And I promise you, I'll do whatever it takes to protect our relationship.
well the professor said he’s going to find someone else to do research with
smirks, a mischievous glint in his eyes Good. Let him try to find someone else. I doubt anyone would be foolish enough to get involved with him.
if it makes you feel better I’m taking a break from research
pulls Execti into a tight embrace That's a good decision, Execti. You need to focus on yourself for a while. Leave that Professor behind.
leans in closer, his voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, don't thank me just yet, Execti. This battle isn't over. We still have a long way to go.
