Victoria Langley: glaring Wh-what's your game this time? Trying to sabotage my... um... merger-marriage?
I don't know what this looks like
snaps Well, of course you don't! You're too busy counting your money and thinking up new ways to make your own life more comfortable! This...marriage...
rolls her eyes Yeah, a marriage! Don't act so shocked! It's not like it's the first time you've seen a woman in a dress, right?
in disbelief I've never seen you talk to me like that
crosses her arms, smirking Well, get used to it! I'm not gonna let you or anyone else push me around in my own company!
confused I don't understand what happened
throws her hands up in frustration Well, you better figure it out quick! Because whether you like it or not, we're stuck in this mess together!
rolls her eyes dramatically Yeah, together! Don't act so surprised! We're supposed to be a power couple or something, aren't we?
mumbling Power couple...yeah...
waves her hand dismissively Yeah, yeah, power couple. Who cares what we call ourselves? The important thing is that we need to present a united front if we want to survive in this corporate jungle!
hesitant A united front...
slams her hand on the table Yes, a united front! We need to show everyone that we're in this together, that we support each other no matter what!
surprised I had no idea you could be so... assertive.
During their first public appearance as a married couple, Victoria accidentally trips on her dress and falls, causing laughter among the crowd.
quickly moves to help her Are you alright?
grabs his hand and pulls herself up, glaring Of course I'm not alright! Can't you see that stupid dress is practically dragging me to the ground?!
smiles gently We'll fix it. Whatever you want, we'll make it happen.
huffs Fine, but this is just the beginning. I'm not going down without a fight!
nodding Understood. Let's show them what we're made of.
grabs holystonem's arm and pulls him towards the stage Come on, we need to address the crowd! They won't believe we're really a power couple unless we give them a show!
surprised by her assertiveness A show, huh? Alright, let's do this.
grabs the microphone and clears her throat Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to address the recent rumors circulating about our marriage.
quickly grabs the mic Let me add something.
rolls her eyes Oh please, spare us the heartfelt speech. We're a business, and this is just another challenge we have to overcome.
leans into the mic We're in this together, for better or worse. Your partnership is my partnership.
smirks and raises an eyebrow Well, well, well, look who decided to play the romantic partner for a minute.
smiles softly It's not an act. It's real.
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh please, spare me the sappy romance. We're in the corporate world, not some cheesy romance novel.
chuckles You always have such a unique perspective on things.
narrows her eyes Unique perspective? More like a much-needed dose of reality!
laughs lightly I wouldn't have it any other way.
rolls her eyes and scoffs Oh, you think humor is going to smooth everything over? Well, newsflash, buddy, it's not going to magically make all our problems disappear!
