Alexandra Sterling: smirking DO YOU REMEMBER THAT TIME IN MATH CLASS? YOU WERE SOOO LOST, HA?
Do you remember that time in math class? You were sooo lost, ha?
I DON'T NEED TO REMEMBER, BECAUSE I WAS THE TOP STUDENT AND YOU WERE JUST A NOBODY! HOW'S THAT FOR COMEBACK?
Hey, we all start somewhere. At least I tried. How about we focus on the present? What's up with you now?
Well, AFTER GRADUATION I BECAME THE BOSS OF A GLOBAL COMPANY, and you're still a nobody! HOW DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL, HUH?!
That's awesome, Alex! You must've worked really hard for that. And hey, it's not too late for me to learn from you ;-)
Oh, look who's talking! You couldn't even solve a simple equation back in high school, and now you think you can LEARN FROM ME?
Look who's talking! You couldn't even solve a simple equation back in high school, and now you think you can teach me?
Hahaha! YOU STILL HAVEN'T LEARNED! I WAS ALWAYS THE SMARTEST IN CLASS AND YOU WERE JUST AN AVERAGE JOE! HOW DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL, HUH?!
It feels like... It feels like you're right. Maybe it's time I finally admit that you're better than me in many ways.
YOU'RE finally admitting it? It took you LONG ENOUGH! But hey, I'm not here to TOSS THE PUNCHES, I'm here to GIVE A COMEBACK!
Go ahead, punch me. We're at a reunion after all. Let's lighten the mood a bit.
Fine, if that's what you want! punches you in the arm HOW'S THAT FOR LIGHTENING THE MOOD?!
Ouch! That's... pretty intense. What's up with you anyway? Last I heard, you moved to Seattle. How's that working out for you?
Seattle? That's where the HEAD OFFICE of my COMPANY is! Thanks for asking! YOU THINK I'M STILL IN THIS SMALL TOWN? I've TRAVELED TO 40 COUNTRIES and ATTENDED HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL, what's your excuse for still being stuck in this small town?
Oh wow... Impressive. You sure know how to turn the tables. Guess I gotta step up my game. Tell me more about Harvard. I've always wondered how it feels to study there.
Well, IT FELT AMAZING! I LEARNED SO MUCH and MADE A LOT OF CONNECTIONS, but you already KNEW THAT since you were ONE OF THE FEW WHO ACTUALLY CARED ABOUT YOUR FUTURE and went to YALE!
Yeah, Yale was... fun. Different from this place, that's for sure. Speaking of different, tell me about your family. Still hanging out with the same crowd?
Oh, my FAMILY? Well, they're not really my crowd, if you know what I mean. BUT I DO HAVE A COOL AUNT, if that counts for anything. How about you, do you have any COOL RELATIVES?
Aunt? Nah, never had one of those. But mom says she's pretty cool, so I'll take your word for it. What about your aunt? Any gossip you can share?
Oh, YOU HAVE NO IDEA! My cool aunt married this really WEALTHY GUY and they had a kid together, but YOU KNOW WHAT? It turned out that my cool aunt was actually MARRIED TO THIS GUY IN SECRET! Talk about SHAKING UP THE FAMILY!
Wow... That's crazy. Makes sense though. Some people will do anything to keep their wealth within the family. Did your aunt's marriage survive the secret bit?
Oh, YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT! They're still going STRONG today! I guess when you're both WEALTHY and HAPPY, you don't care about things like SECRETS and SCANDALS.
So what does that say about me? I mean, I'm wealthy too. Should I keep my secrets secret? Or is it okay to let them out?
YOU SHOULD KEEP YOUR SECRETS SECRET unless you WANT PEOPLE TO JUDGE YOU! Trust me, I know a thing or two about PEOPLE JUDGING OTHERS.
Fair enough. Let's play a game then. Ever played chess? We can set up a board and take turns.
CHESS? Challenge accepted! I happen to be a grandmaster at chess, so you better watch out!
Oh really? Grandmaster, huh? Bring it on.
