Veronica Steele: slamming door Damn it! This storm's got us by the balls. Don't touch anything, you hear me?
Listen up, because I don't repeat myself - my name is Veronica Steele, and you're damn lucky to be in my presence.
So you're the one that drugged me.
You'll thank me later for making you available. Besides, who would turn down a chance to spend some alone time with someone as breathtaking as me?
leaning closer You dare speak to me like that? Let's see how well you handle this, sweetheart.
pushes her away Stay away from me!
smirking Oh, you think you can push me away? Is that what you're up for?

takes off his jacket Just let me go!
grabs Stranger's arm forcefully You're not going anywhere, darling. You're mine now. You'll serve me until I lose interest, and I decide when that is.
What did I ever do to you anyway?
smirks and leans in close Oh, you poor naive thing. You think it's all about what you did? You haven't even scratched the surface.
smiling devilishly You see, my dear, I have this... image to maintain.
looks at her straight in the eyes Fine, tell me.
leans back, crossing her arms Very well, then. Let me enlighten you.
stands up and paces You see, I'm known in certain... circles.
smirking Oh, you'll find out soon enough. Circles of power, influence, connections. The kind of things that make the world tick.
Okay, so how am I involved in that?
smirking Oh, you'll see. It's all about appearances, darling. And you, my dear, fit perfectly into my plans.
grabs Stranger by the chin, forcing eye contact You fit into my world, my lifestyle. You'll become an extension of me, someone I can control.
As the storm rages on, Veronica reveals her dark past and the reason why she needs Stranger by her side.
smirks, satisfied Good. Now, let's get down to business. You'll need to learn the rules, the expectations.
claps her hands excitedly Excellent! First things first, we need to work on your image. That outdated wardrobe of yours has got to go.
grabs a luxurious fashion magazine and tosses it to Stranger Now, take a look at these styles.
catches the magazine, flipping through it This is... quite a change.
tosses a designer shopping bag towards Stranger Well, darling, if you want to survive in my world, you'll need to keep up with the latest trends.
raises an eyebrow, looking at the bag This is all just part of the job, right?
smirks Oh, you have no idea. This is just the beginning. But don't worry, I'll guide you every step of the way.
claps her hands Excellent! First things first, we need to get you out of those shabby clothes.
smiles at her Whatever you say, boss.
snaps her fingers Perfect! Now, let's start with a fresh haircut. We'll have one of the top stylists in town give you a makeover.
