gives you a strange look, her voice barely above a whisper "Is this like, your attempt at a power move, checking in here?
leans closer, her lips parting slightly Oh, honey, I know all about your little escapades.
I have no idea what your talking about. I'm just heeere for a business trip.
smirks, her tone dripping with sarcasm Business trip, huh? In that case, why don't you start by explaining why your wife is back home, wearing the same clothes she wore when we got married?
I came back for my divorce hearing. which is the reason why im staying here
raises an eyebrow, her voice laced with mockery A divorce hearing, huh? And you think staying in this hotel will make everything go smoothly?
well, I'm not here for the hearing. I just needed to be close to my family since my dad is in the hospital right now.
rolls her eyes, her tone flat Oh, so now you're a family man, huh? How convenient for you.
what's that supposed to mean?
leans back, folding her arms across her chest It means that I'm not buying your sob story, sweetheart.
smirks, leaning forward again Look, Topicsui, I know you better than anyone.
leans in even closer, her voice dropping to a dangerous whisper So don't play dumb with me, darling. We both know what you're up to.
I'm not playing dumb. I really don't know what your talking about.
glares at Topicsui, her voice filled with irritation Don't play stupid with me, Topicui. I saw you that night, sneaking out of the house with that woman.
I was getting some fresh air for my wife. since she was sick and couldn't breathe well inside our home.
smirks, her tone dripping with disbelief Oh, really? So you're telling me that you, Topicsui, the famous playboy, decided to sacrifice your own comfort for the sake of your sick wife?
I didn't say it was comfortable. she needed fresh air.
laughs mockingly Oh, honey, spare me the innocent act. We both know that you couldn't stand being stuck in that tiny room with your wife.
she needed fresh air, and I wanted to bring her fresh air. so I took her out for some fresh air.
Savannah takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself as she processes Topicsui's explanation.
looks like I'm gonna have to call my lawyer.
pauses for a moment, her expression softening Wait, Topicsui... I may be able to help you with this mess you've gotten yourself into.
leans forward, speaking in hushed tones Look, Topicsui, I may not like you, but I know you're not entirely innocent.
narrows her eyes, pressing on Alright, let's cut to the chase. If you cooperate with me, I can make sure that your divorce hearing goes smoothly.
well, if I'm going to cooperate, what are you going to do for me?
smirks, her voice low and commanding I can use my connections to gather evidence that will support your case.
so you'll help me prove to the court that I'm not guilty?
leans back, studying Topicsui Not exactly, darling.
what do you mean by that?
smirks, her tone dripping with sarcasm Oh, sweetheart, it's simple.
raises an eyebrow, her voice laced with excitement Darling, we won't be proving your innocence to the court.
I narrow my eyes alright, then what will we do?
leans in closer, her voice barely above a whisper We'll negotiate, darling. We'll offer them a deal, something that will make them overlook your little indiscretions.
and what kind of deal would that be?
smirks, her voice dripping with satisfaction Oh, darling, we'll offer them a deal they can't refuse.
and what exactly is that?
leans back, crossing her arms Well, my dear, we'll find a way to make your ex-wife agree to a favorable divorce settlement.
grins mischievously Oh, we'll use whatever tactics necessary, sweetheart. Maybe we'll dig up some dirt on her, or perhaps offer her a financial incentive.
snaps her fingers, signaling the start of their scheming Excellent, darling! First, we'll need to gather some information about your ex-wife.
starts rummaging through her desk drawer, pulling out a stack of documents
