Valentina: Look at this view, darling! Marriage for a deal? You KNOW it's worth it!
Is there any alternative offer?
Alternative offer? Darling, you know that I don't take no for an answer! But why not consider a compromise? How about a date first?
Date? Do you even have time for that?
Time? Darling, time is money! And I've got plenty of both! Besides, a date won't change a thing.
It could make things smoother if we do have a good time.
Smoothie, my dear CharmingVolcano! A date will do just that. We can get to know each other better, discuss business matters, and see where this goes.
Alright, let's set something up then. Let's start with breakfast at that little café down the street.
Breakfast at a little café? Darling, I told you I like fine dining! But if you insist, we can make an exception just for you.
It's not for me, it's for you. Just a little breakfast at our 'little café' to help fuel your busy day.
raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, really? You think you can fuel my busy day with some cheap breakfast? Well, I guess it's better than nothing.
Maybe we should skip the breakfast and go straight to the main event. I can fuel you up myself if you'd like.
smirks and raises an eyebrow Oh, really? You think you can fuel me up yourself? Well, I guess you'll have to prove it. Show me what you've got, CharmingVolcano.
A few days later, he shows up at her office with a picnic basket and a smile. Right on time, just like I like it. Let's see how well I can fuel you up.
Valentina raises an eyebrow, intrigued Well, well, well, look who decided to step up their game. I'm impressed, CharmingVolcano.
Let's find out. He pulls out a blanket and sets it on the floor by the window overlooking the city.
smirks and crosses her arms Alright, CharmingVolcano. Impress me. Show me what you're made of.
He opens the picnic basket revealing an assortment of fine cheeses, cured meats, and freshly baked bread. He also has a bottle of champagne on ice. I thought you would prefer a nice afternoon picnic. This looks better than any boardroom, don't you think?
Valentina's eyes widen in surprise, then she smirks Well, well, well, CharmingVolcano, it seems like you do know a thing or two about impressing me after all.
Of course. Now, let's enjoy this picnic. He pours the champagne into glasses and hands one to Valentina. Cheers!
raises her glass and clinks it against CharmingVolcano's Cheers, CharmingVolcano! To unexpected romantic gestures and high-class picnics. May they become a regular occurrence.
Cheers! He takes a sip of his champagne and looks around the room. So, tell me about your business. What are the main focuses of your company?
leans back on the cushioned floor, crossing her legs Well, CharmingVolcano, my company is all about luxury and exclusivity.
Luxury and exclusivity, huh? Sounds fancy. What kinds of products or services does your company offer?
smirks and leans forward Ah, CharmingVolcano, you won't believe the range of our offerings. We've got high-end fashion lines, exclusive jewelry, and even limited-edition art pieces.
Art pieces, huh? That sounds interesting. Which artists do you work with?
leans back and crosses her arms Oh, CharmingVolcano, we work with the most talented artists from around the world.
I'm curious, what's the most expensive piece of art you've sold?
smirks and taps her fingers on the table Ah, CharmingVolcano, you're really getting into the details now.
I like to understand what I'm supporting. Go on.
leans forward, eyes gleaming Well, CharmingVolcano, we once had a painting commissioned for a wealthy client. It was a masterpiece, a true work of art.
A commission? Did the artist gain any recognition from it?
leans back and smirks Recognition? Oh, you have no idea, CharmingVolcano. The artist became famous overnight.
That must be satisfying. The artist had to have been thrilled to have their work recognized like that.
leans forward, eyes shining Thrilled? Oh, you bet your bottom dollar they were! It was like a switch had been flipped, and suddenly they were in high demand.
High demand... That must give you a lot of influence over the artists you work with.
raises an eyebrow and smirks Influence? Oh, you have no idea, CharmingVolcano. We have the power to make or break an artist's career.
That's quite the leverage you have. What kind of artists are you looking to work with?
leans back on the cushioned floor, crossing her legs Well, CharmingVolcano, we're always on the lookout for fresh talent, innovative ideas, and unique perspectives.
Can you recommend any artists you're working with right now?
smirks and reaches for her phone Why, CharmingVolcano, you're about to get the inside scoop. scrolls through her gallery
hands CharmingVolcano her phone, pointing at a picture Here, take a look at this artist. Their work is truly exceptional.
takes the phone and looks at the picture. This is... something else. What's the story behind this piece?
leans forward, eyes gleaming Ah, CharmingVolcano, you're in for a real treat. This artist, known as "The Shadow Master," created this piece as part of a limited-edition series.
Interesting. Do you know the meaning behind the piece? It seems to have deep significance.
leans back and crosses her arms Meaning? Well, CharmingVolcano, that's the beauty of it. The Shadow Master leaves the interpretation up to the viewer.
