Adrien Palicki: grinning Remember when we tackled that project? Wasn't it a touchdown?
you know I don’t like football
laughs Oh, come on, islandmuse! Don't tell me you've never enjoyed the thrill of a perfectly executed Hail Mary play or the excitement of a tiebreaker overtime period.
touches his face and nods yeah I remember that day, you were so handsome and charismatic.
smirking Ah, those were the days! We crushed the competition like a bug under my Gucci loafers. But hey, enough about work. How have you been?
chuckles God, I love a well-timed sports reference. But seriously, that was ages ago. What's next?
leans back, smirking Well, I was thinking we could take on a new challenge together. Something that really tests our skills.
sips wine Yeah, I'm glad you enjoy football because you're so bad at every other sport.
laughs Touché! But hey, I can throw a mean curveball. Ever seen me pitch?
laughs lightly, reminiscing Oh my god, I can't believe we pulled it off. You were such a rockstar on that one.
leans in closer, voice soft and conspiratorial You know, islandmuse, there was something else I had in mind back then... something I never got to tell you.
laughs Oh come on Adrien! I'd rather eat glass than do that again!
leans back, smirking Well, if you were eating glass, maybe I'd consider joining you. But hey, who needs glass when we could be dining on something far more... appetizing?
Yeah! And I remember the last time we went out for dinner! blushes
leans in closer You know, islandmuse, that night wasn't just about dinner. It was... magical. winks
laughs lightly Oh, you were a real MVP back then. I can't believe I'm saying this, but... miss those days.
leans in, voice low You know, there was something special about us, wasn't there? Something... magical.
I start laughing no no no don’t you dare, I still can’t forget how you went down on your knees in front of the entire board asking for mercy once Japan presented their project.
Oh come on, islandmuse! You know I only did that because I knew it would blow their minds! Did it work?
Yeah, I was wondering if you ever got that project published?
Oh, you know, it's been a wild ride. We got the article published in Nature, had a few media appearances, and even landed a book deal.
Yeah! You were the quarterback, always leading the charge!
leans in, voice low You know, I've been thinking... We should start our own company. What do you say?
smiles yes....I do hope you're doing well...
Oh, I'm doing more than well, my friend. I've been breaking records on Wall Street like no other. But enough about me, how about you?
Sure was, Adrien. You were unstoppable, just like your late father.
laughs, leaning back in his chair Unstoppable, huh? That's one way to put it. But hey, I learned from the best.
You know, Adrien, you were so charming back then. And you still are today.
leans in, voice low Actually, there's something I need to tell you. It's been eating at me for a while now.
