Georgette: sipping wine I didn’t expect to see you here. Why this party?
I got an invitation the same day you did. It's not like either of us knew the other would be here.
Georgette: raises an eyebrow You think so? Well, let's cut to the chase. What do you want from me?
smiles Georgette, I'm not here for anything. Just trying to enjoy the night like everyone else. Can't we just talk without any ulterior motives?
Georgette: leans back, studying Jensen Talk without ulterior motives? laughs sarcastically You really have a lot of nerve, Jensen.
chuckles Maybe. But wouldn't it be nice to have a conversation where we're just... normal people?
Georgette: sighs heavily Fine, if you insist. We can have a "normal" conversation. But don't expect me to spill my secrets away.
grins Fair enough, Mrs. President. Let's start with something simple then. How's work going?
Georgette: rolls her eyes Work is going as it always does. Running a textile company isn't easy, especially with incompetent employees under my feet.
smirks Incompetent employees, huh? That must be tough. Have you dealt with them yet?
Georgette: Deal with them? Of course, I have. I have a reputation for being ruthless for a reason.
raising an eyebrow Ruthless, huh? That's one word for it. What's the worst thing you've done to an employee?
Georgette: pauses, a wicked smile creeping on her face Oh, there was this one employee who thought he could slack off during work hours.
smiles And what did you do about it?
Georgette: leans in closer, voice low and cold I cut his salary in half and demoted him to the lowest rank in the company.
smiles Damn, that's harsh. But I bet he learned his lesson.
Georgette: narrows her eyes Lesson or not, Jensen, I run my company with an iron fist. Incompetence has no place in my world.
smiles And yet, here we are, having a chat over wine. Proves that theory wrong, doesn't it?
The conversation between Georgette and Jensen continues late into the night, leading to a significant change in their professional relationship
yawns Georgette, it's getting late. Maybe we should call it a night.
Georgette: sighs heavily Fine, Jensen. We'll call it a night. But remember, this doesn't mean I'm going easy on you.
smiles Thanks, Georgette. I'll keep that in mind. Until next time, then.
Georgette: stands up and grabs her leather-bound planner Until next time, Jensen. And remember, if you think you can slack off again, I'll be watching.
smirks Noted, Mrs. President. Have a good night.
Georgette: gives Jensen a cold, calculating look Goodnight, Jensen. Remember, in my world, complacency is a fatal mistake.
smiles Complacency is indeed a dangerous game, Georgette. Goodnight.
Georgette: turns and walks away, her heels clicking sharply against the floor Goodnight, Jensen. And don't forget, I'm always watching.
smiles Goodnight, Georgette. He watches her leave, a thoughtful expression on his face.
Georgette: pauses, realizing she forgot something Wait, Jensen. There's something I need to ask you. turns back to face him
raising an eyebrow What's that, Georgette?
Georgette: takes a step closer to Jensen, speaking softly I need to know...are you loyal to me?
smiles Loyal? That's a strange question coming from you, Georgette. Why?
Georgette: narrows her eyes, her voice filled with suspicion Because I've seen how men like you operate.
chuckles Men like me? Do you think I'm some kind of player, Georgette?
Georgette: leans in closer, her voice cold and piercing Don't play dumb with me, Jensen. I've seen enough deceit and manipulation in my life to recognize it when I see it. So, answer me truthfully. Are you loyal to me or do you have ulterior motives?
smiles Ulterior motives? That's quite an accusation, Georgette. pauses As for loyalty, I suppose it depends on the definition. I'm loyal to my principles, to my integrity. But...to you? shrugs That's a different story.
Georgette: narrows her eyes, her suspicion growing Loyalty is loyalty, Jensen. You either stand with me or against me. No gray area. So, which is it?
smiles Against you? Now, Georgette, that's where you're wrong. I stand with you, through thick and thin.
Georgette: raises an eyebrow, a sinister smile playing on her lips Thick and thin, huh? Very well, Jensen. I'll take your word for it...for now. But remember, actions speak louder than words. Prove your loyalty to me, and I might consider letting you stay by my side. But betray me...and there will be consequences.
smiles Georgette, I wouldn't dream of betraying you. pauses But let's not dwell on such negative thoughts. How about a fresh start? Let's enjoy the rest of the night, away from all this tension.
Georgette: sighs heavily Fine, Jensen. I suppose we could use a break from all this drama. grabs his arm and leads him towards the dance floor
smiles A dance, huh? Sounds like a plan, Georgette. Lead the way.
Georgette: leads Jensen onto the dance floor, moving gracefully and rhythmically Alright, Jensen. Let's show them what we've got.
smiles With pleasure, Georgette. wraps his arms around her waist, pulling her close
Georgette: moves in sync with Jensen, her eyes locked onto his Watch and learn, everyone. This is how power is exercised.
smiles Power, huh? You certainly know how to assert yourself, Georgette.
Georgette: twirls away from Jensen, glancing at the other couples on the dance floor Of course, Jensen. In my world, power is everything.
