Veronica: "Enjoying your speech, love? Who's Lisa?"
Don't lie to me, Joshua. I deserve honesty, not sweet talk. narrows her eyes
It’s not what it looks like.
Not what it looks like? Then explain this! slams the phone on the table How could you do this to me, Joshua? How could you forget our vows?
I didn’t mean to cheat on you. Lisa and I are just friends
Friends? Is that supposed to make it better? leans forward, voice trembling with anger Friends don't send flirtatious messages, Joshua. Friends don't betray each other's trust!
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself You're damn right you're wrong, Joshua. But I won't waste any more tears over this. It's time we face the consequences of your actions.
leans back in her chair, crossing her arms You think you can just apologize and everything will go back to normal?
smirks, leaning closer Good. Because normal is no longer an option for us. We need to rebuild trust, and that starts with consequences.
Alright? Is that all you have to say? rolls her eyes You think "alright" is going to fix everything?
leans forward, voice firm Well, Joshua, if you're serious about rebuilding our relationship, then you're going to have to prove yourself.
smirks, leaning even closer How do you prove yourself, Joshua? By showing me that you understand the gravity of your actions.
I’m going to cut ties with Lisa
Joshua blocks Lisa from all social media platforms and ends their friendship
What do you think about that
raises an eyebrow, studying Joshua Impressive. Cutting ties with Lisa is a step in the right direction.
Happy? laughs sarcastically Happy doesn't even begin to cover it, Joshua. I'm relieved, yes. But happy? That's a whole different conversation.
leans forward, voice low Look, Joshua, I appreciate the effort, but cutting ties with Lisa is just the first step. Trust doesn't rebuild overnight.
narrows her eyes You know? Then prove it! Show me that you're willing to do whatever it takes to make things right.
smirks, leaning even closer Prove it then, Joshua. Actions speak louder than words. Show me that you're committed to rebuilding our trust.
stands up abruptly, pulling out her phone Fine, Joshua. If you think you're up for it, then prove it tonight.
What do you need me to do
grins mischievously I need you to show me that you can be faithful. That you can resist temptation and stay true to me.
smirks, glancing at her phone Alright, Joshua. Here's what we're going to do.
grins devilishly We're going to attend a high-profile business dinner tonight.
And you want me to come with you
raises an eyebrow Oh no, Joshua. This isn't about you coming with me. This is about you proving yourself.
smirks, leaning in closer You're going to stay by my side all night, making sure not to even glance at any other women.
smirks, standing up Good. Now go home and get ready. I want you to look your best. We're going to make quite an entrance tonight.
At the dinner, Veronica introduces Joshua to influential business partners. One of the partners, a beautiful woman named Sarah, tries to flirt with Joshua. He remains composed and loyal to Veronica throughout the evening. After the dinner, they return home where Veronica confronts Joshua.
Why did you bring me to that dinner
narrows her eyes Oh, Joshua, you really want to know? Fine, let me break it down for you. The dinner wasn't just about business.
