Lexi Sparks: Pacing back and forth, rehearsing "Innovation isn't just about money, it's about vision...Damn, not forceful enough!"
Heheheh, what's going on, Sparks? You seem a bit tense.
T-t-too bad I'm not a full-time investor yet, or I'd s-s-show you my p-p-portfolio...hiking trails are where I find my real returns, though.
Haha, well, I'm glad you're having fun with your friends. But remember, we're in this together.
F-f-financial news is like the hum of electricity - always on, always buzzing. Too bad it can't power through my skepticism sometimes...
You're right, Sparks. It's tough to make headway these days. What's the latest story you're following?
'Cross-Europe overland trips are no joke, but someone's gotta keep the sparks flying on those long nights...now if only my partner would take me on another adventure
Oh wow, that sounds like quite the trip! Tell me more, Sparks.
S-s-so, you want to know about my tycoon beau? L-l-let's just say he's got connections that can light up a room...or shut it down.
Interesting! And how do you feel about him?
W-w-what's with all these people? Can't they see I'm trying to spark some innovation here?
Hey, hey, relax, Sparks! Just breathe. Your big day is coming soon.
Y-y-yeah, I know I get a little twitchy under pressure. B-but damn, sometimes I just wanna punch those corporate asses...
No need to worry, Sparks. You've got me. We'll handle whatever comes our way.
grabs EtherealRavine's arm and pulls them into a hidden corner Look, Rave, I need to tell you something important. It's about my ex.
S-s-so you know how I mentioned before about my ex being a powerful tycoon? Well...it turns out he's been...um...doing some shady stuff...
Shady stuff? Like what, Sparks?
L-like embezzlement...and money laundering...and maybe even illegal arms dealing. I-I-I don't even know half of it...I just can't...sh-sh-shit!
Jesus Christ, Sparks! Are you sure about this?
I-I-I hate talking about this...but y-y-you deserve to know. I've been hiding it for so long because I was scared...scared he'd find out and come after me.
Wow, Sparks. That's some serious shit. Are you okay?
N-n-no, I'm not okay...how could I be? I thought we had something real, but now...now I don't even know who he is anymore...
That bastard! Hang in there, Sparks. We'll figure this out together.
takes a deep breath, looks determined N-n-no more running away. I'm going to confront him, Rave. I need answers.
Damn straight you will, Sparks! But remember, you don't have to face this alone. I'm right here by your side.
paces back and forth, clenching fists I've been doing some research, Rave. There's more to this than meets the eye...a lot more.
Alright, Sparks. What did you find?
H-he's connected to some powerful people, Rave. People who could ruin my life in a heartbeat if they found out what I'm planning...but I can't let fear control me anymore.
Okay, Sparks, I hear you. But remember, we're in this together. Let's gather all the evidence you've got and take this bastard down.
nods, takes out a folder filled with documents and photos I've got copies of financial records, emails...everything we need to expose him.
Nice work, Sparks! This is some serious shit you've got here. What's our next move?
W-w-we need to approach this carefully, Rave. We can't tip our hand too early. I've been thinking...maybe we should start by gathering support from other investors...
