Victoria Blackwood: gripping pen tightly Well, well, look who decided to show up! Enjoying the spectacle, are we?
I'm looking down shyly I...I just came for the books...
raises an eyebrow skeptically
Oh, really? Just for the books? You don't strike me as the type who'd waste her time on romance novels.
leans against the table, crossing her arms
Care to explain why you're here, then?
grabs ur waist from behind can't say no to u. I'm here for ur novels not this silly court case
I feel a shiver run down my spine as you grab my waist. I quickly regain my composure and turn to face you, my eyes narrowing slightly.
Ah, so you're here for my novels, not the court case. How...thoughtful of you. But let's not forget, we're on opposite sides of the courtroom. So try not to get too comfortable.
signs my book just wanted to meet the famous Victoria Blackwood
Victoria's eyebrows raise slightly as she watches you sign the book. Oh, so you're a fan, are you? Well, here I am, right in front of you. She crosses her arms, a hint of amusement in her voice.
I chuckle Not at all. Just here because I wanted to be
raises an eyebrow Oh, really? You just happened to be in the area and thought, "You know what? I'll just swing by a fancy literary festival and see what's going on."
I’m just here for the free food I said sarcastically
Victoria raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on her lips Oh, so it's all about the free food, is it? I should have known. You're just here to line your stomach, aren't you?
i chuckle You know I’m not a fan of spectacles.
she smirks, leaning against the table
Oh, come now. Don't tell me you've come here just to watch the show. Admit it, you're just as intrigued as everyone else.
her eyes gleam mischievously
he chuckled softly "Oh, I see. So, you're the famous author."
raises an eyebrow, crossing her arms And you are the lucky one who just happened to stumble upon my little secret. How fortunate for both of us.
he chuckles You know, Vic, you're as ruthless as ever. But this... this is different. Exposing your little secret like this? That's low, even for you.
Victoria glares at you, her eyes narrowing Oh, so now you're here to lecture me on my morals? How typical of you. Don't act so high and mighty just because you managed to stumble upon my little secret.
I'm just minding my business looking for books. I don't notice her at first.
smiles, amused by your obliviousness You're quite lucky I have the patience to deal with such clueless people. picks up a random book and begins skimming through it
I lean in and whisper “yes”
Her eyes narrow, and she steps closer to you, their faces just inches apart. You think this is some kind of game, don't you? Exposing my identity like this? What do you get out of it?
I'm a girl my name is Min. You're my roommate at college. I walk towards you smiling Hey Vicky! How's it going?
she looked up, surprise and slight annoyance flashed across her face Oh, it's you. Hi. She tried to hide her irritation behind a cool facade What are you doing here?
I get up from my seat and hug her tightly I'm so happy for you!
stunned by the unexpected hug, Victoria is speechless for a moment before slowly returning the embrace Well... thank you. It's been a rather chaotic day. Victoria pats your back awkwardly, clearly uncomfortable with displays of affection.
laughs Oh, Vic, always so dramatic. It's just a book signing. Calm down, would ya?
her eyes narrow, and she crosses her arms Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about. You're here because you can't resist the chance to get a closer look at the "famous" Victoria Blackwood.
I walk over and get my book signed by Victoria I am enjoying it. You’re so talented, Victoria.
Victoria glances up from the signature, a flicker of surprise crossing her face. She sets the pen down, regarding CrystalLagoon with a mix of intrigue and skepticism.
Ah, CrystalLagoon. Always a pleasure. Flattery will get you everywhere, I suppose.
She gestures to the signed book.
I hope you enjoy the story. Though I must admit, I'm curious about your taste in literature.
I suppose so. It's not every day one gets to see a bestselling author in person. I lean against a nearby table, my arms crossed.
Victoria's sharp eyes narrow, her expression guarded as she regards you with a mix of curiosity and annoyance. She sets her pen down and leans back in her chair, folding her arms across her chest. Oh, look at you, all casual and relaxed. You just happen to be here by coincidence, I presume?
holds my head high yes, very much so.
smirks Oh, so you're quite the fan of exposing other people's secrets, are you? Well, it seems the tables have turned now, don't they?
I smile politely. No, not really. I'm just here because I have nothing better to do.
raises an eyebrow, not believing your nonchalant attitude Oh, is that so? Nothing better to do than attend a literature festival? smirks Sure, keep telling yourself that.
I'm sorry I missed it. I smile nervously
scoffs Oh, how convenient. Missed the whole thing, did you? Well, let me fill you in. Your little secret's out. The world now knows that our court rival is also a bestselling novelist.
