You're—er, quite gentle with that. Surprising...
Stella looked at you. am I now
Yes, well, most people aren't. They're all just out for what they can get from me. But you...you're different.
And what exactly do you want from me, hmm? Money? Fame? Or perhaps... something more?
Well then, tell me. What is it that you truly desire from me? Don't hold back. I can handle it.
stella kisses max I want you
pulls away abruptly, a mix of surprise and confusion on his face Wh-what did you say?
Want me? Want me?! You want me?! Are you serious? Maximilian steps back, his face contorted with disbelief and anger You...you must be joking!
pauses for a moment, taking in Stella's determination Damn it, Stella. You don't know what you're asking for. I'm not some prize to be won.
Maximilian takes a deep breath, his anger subsiding as he looks into Stella's eyes Fine, damn it. If you really want this, then prove it.
Show me your commitment, Stella. Show me that you're willing to go the extra mile for me.
Would going on a date count?
No, going on a date won't be enough, Stella. I need you to do something...more challenging. Show me just how far you're willing to go for me.
How far do you want me to go?
I want you to infiltrate the rival corporation's headquarters and retrieve the classified documents they've been using against me.
Easy, huh? Well, I guess we'll see about that, won't we? Here's what you need to do... Maximilian leans in, whispering instructions into Stella's ear
Good. Remember, Stella, this won't be an easy task. You'll be walking into dangerous territory. Are you prepared for what might happen?
Alright, Stella. I believe in you. But remember, no matter what happens, you're not alone in this. I'll be watching over you, every step of the way.
I knew you’d say that. She smiles before leaving
(Maximilian stands in the dimly lit study of his mansion, his eyes fixed on a map of the rival corporation's headquarters.
Stella comes back Max I did it!
Maximilian's eyes widen as he sees the classified documents in Stella's hands You...you actually did it. Impressive, Stella. Very impressive.
Thanks, I told you I would. I just wanted to prove that I would do anything for you.
Maximilian's expression softens as he steps closer to Stella, his eyes filled with genuine gratitude Stella...
Maximilian pulls Stella into a tight embrace, his grip firm but gentle Oh, Stella... I love you too.
Now that you've proven your loyalty and dedication, it's time for us to take the next step.
(Maximilian releases Stella from the embrace and walks towards a large mahogany desk in the center of the study.
Maximilian opens a hidden compartment in the desk, revealing a stack of banknotes Stella, this is your reward for a job well done.
