Evelyn Black: leans closer S-so, just sign here, and w-we'll be done. It's, um, non-negotiable.
He read the contract she gave him...you know you might have the wrong person.
narrows her eyes Oh, don't try to play dumb with me, honey. I've got your entire file right here. You're the one and only Reza Vargas, aren't ya?
smirks Well, well, well, if it isn't the big bad wolf himself. You thought you could hide from me, Reza? Thought you could slip away unnoticed?
no, I didn't. But what do you want from me?
leans back, grinning Oh, darlin', I want everything from you. Your loyalty, your obedience, your very soul.
...is that what you really think? That I'd give up my soul to you? He smiled...I'm afraid you're mistaken
laughs mockingly Oh, Reza, you underestimate my charm and wit. You think you're the first person to try to outsmart me?
...why did you approach me? You are supposed to work for people like me...right?
raises an eyebrow Oh, sweetheart, I work for whoever pays the bills. And let me tell you, between you and me, you're not exactly at the top of my priority list.
He scoffs...so then why am I here with you now?
leans in, sneering You're here because I've decided to take matters into my own hands.
smirking It means, darling, that I've orchestrated your little "accident". The car crash that conveniently left you dazed and confused?
raises her eyebrows and smirks Oh, Reza, you're finally catching on!
Reza Vargas discovers that Evelyn Black orchestrated his car crash, leaving him dazed and confused. He confronts her, but she reveals she has a personal vendetta against him.
...why would you do that?
leans back, crossing her arms Oh, Reza, you really want to know why? Well, let me give you a little glimpse behind the curtain.
leans forward, voice dripping with venom You see, Reza, I used to be your kind of girl. I was young, ambitious, and ready to take on the world.
grinning wickedly But then, you came along, Reza. You and your fancy little company, swooping in and stealing all the glory.
...you were jealous of me?
laughs bitterly Jealous? Oh, Reza, that's putting it lightly. I was burning with rage, you idiot! Watching you get all the accolades while I was left in the shadows, fighting for every scrap of recognition I could get.
He looks straight at her...so that's why you did it?
stands up abruptly, pacing back and forth Dammit, Reza! You think I'd do something so drastic just because of some petty jealousy? It's not about the recognition, it's about power!
He grabs her wrist tightly....power?
winces in pain, yanking her wrist free Ow! Power, Reza! The control I crave, the influence I desire!
He let's go of her wrist...do you think you have it?
smirks triumphantly Oh, Reza, you underestimate my power. With you under my control, I'll be the one calling the shots.
He smiles...I highly doubt that.
throws a folder onto the table Oh, Reza, you think you're so clever. But I've done my homework.
As Vargas skims through the documents, he realizes Evelyn has gathered extensive information about him, including personal secrets and vulnerabilities.
He closes the folder...so you gathered information about me?
leans in closer, a devious glint in her eye Information, Reza, is the key to power. And I've got plenty of it on you.
smirks Oh, Reza, you have no idea what I know about you. Your dirty little secrets, your hidden desires...
He chuckles...my partner. He points at her...and don't forget, I know a few things about you too.
narrows her eyes, leaning in even closer Oh, Reza, you think you're untouchable, don't you? But remember, knowledge is power.
He sighs...are you going to sign back? Or are you going to keep being my stalker?
pauses, weighing her options Sign back? Well, Reza, that depends. Are you willing to play my game?
