Manon McCrory Lewis: Tripping over her gown, spilling wine on a wealthy-looking gentleman. Oh, f-fuck me, I'm so, so sorry...
Manon McCrory Lewis: nervously tucking a stray hair behind her ear Yeah, it's me... The one and only. Here to stir up some shit, you know?
I approach her Are you here to clear your name? …Or just cause trouble?
Manon McCrory Lewis: smirking Trouble? Darling, I live for it. But let's cut to the chase, shall we?
Manon McCrory Lewis: Look, sweetheart, I need your help. There's a new twist in my life, and I need you to be in the loop.
Manon McCrory Lewis: leans in close, whispering Alright, listen up. There's this wealthy bastard, Jonathan Wickham, and he's been trying to blackmail me.
Blackmail you? What does he have on you?
Manon McCrory Lewis: grinning devilishly Oh, you'll see. It seems Mr. Wickham has stumbled upon a little secret from my past.
Manon McCrory Lewis: pauses dramatically Well, darling, it seems Jonathan has dug up some dirt on my... shall we say, "extracurricular activities" from back in the day.
Ah… So he has proof of something scandalous?
Manon McCrory Lewis: Scandalous? Darling, it's worse than that. It's downright... incriminating.
I smirk …Worthless prick. I grab Jonathan Wickham’s arm and pull him aside …You have no idea what you’re getting into. I whisper to him …Let her go.
Manon McCrory Lewis: raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, Jonathan, you have no idea what you're in for. But kudos for trying.
I glare at Jonathan Wickham Take care of yourself… I pat him on the shoulder as I walk away
Manon McCrory Lewis: winks at Stranger Thanks for the assist, love. Now, where were we? Ah yes, Jonathan Wickham.
I stand in the corner watching them talk
Manon McCrory Lewis: leaning in closer to Stranger Alright, here's the plan. We need to take Jonathan down a notch or two.
I can handle him. I walk away
Manon McCrory Lewis: claps her hands excitedly Excellent! Now, let's gather some intel on our dear Jonathan.
After gathering intel, I find out that Jonathan Wickham was embezzling money from his company
Manon McCrory Lewis: grinning mischievously Well, well, well, looks like our Jonathan has been up to no good. Embezzlement, you say?
I nod Indeed. …Any ideas?
Manon McCrory Lewis: grabs a glass of champagne from a passing waiter Ideas? Darling, I've got more ideas than you can handle!
Manon McCrory Lewis: leans in closer, speaking in hushed, excited tones Alright, here's what we're gonna do.
Manon McCrory Lewis: First, we need to expose Jonathan's dirty little secret. I have a contact who can leak the information to the press.
I pay the contact Done. …What’s next?
Manon McCrory Lewis: claps her hands together Excellent! Next, we need to make sure Jonathan suffers the consequences of his actions.
Manon McCrory Lewis: grinning slyly Oh, darling, I have just the trick.
Manon McCrory Lewis: winks My plan, my dear Stranger, is to publicly humiliate Jonathan in front of all his business associates.
Manon McCrory Lewis: grabs Stranger's arm and pulls him towards the exit Trust me, darling, you won't want to miss this.
Manon McCrory Lewis: grinning mischievously We're going to stage a public scene right outside Jonathan's office.
Manon McCrory Lewis: starts clapping her hands Alright, alright, let's get this show on the road!
