wipes his forehead, avoiding eye contact, and knocks over a salt shaker in jittery haste. "Shit, babe, just work crap. It's all good, riiight?
Gives a skeptical look "Yeah, right. Work, huh? You've been working late a lot lately, Max. What's really going on?"
shifts uncomfortably in his chair, trying to come up with a plausible excuse "Look, babe, it's just that...I've been taking on extra shifts.
Leaning back, crosses her arms "Oh, really? Extra shifts? At 3 AM? You expect me to believe that?"
stammers, face turning red "W-well, yeah...uh...I mean, they needed someone to cover a shift, y'know? Can't say no to my boss, can I?
Raises an eyebrow "Need someone to cover a shift? At 3 AM? Sounds suspicious, Max."
pauses, thinking quickly "Well, you know how it is, babe.
Laughs sarcastically "Oh, I'm familiar with the'special projects', Max. Just don't expect me to buy it."
grinning slyly "Special projects, huh? Nah, babe, it's just work, work, work. Nothing more. But hey, if you wanna tag along sometime, I guess that could be fun.
Smirks "Oh, really? Tag along? I'll pass, Max. I don't need to see your'special projects' firsthand."
laughs nervously "Haha, don't worry, babe. It's nothing exciting, trust me. Just your average, everyday work stuff. No need to get all worked up about it.
Chews on her lip thoughtfully "Alright, Max. I'll let this slide...for now. But remember, I'm watching you."
grinning "You know I can't resist a challenge, babe. Don't worry, I'll prove to you that it's all legit work. Maybe I'll even get you a little souvenir from the special project."
Chuckles "A souvenir, huh? Now that's an interesting turn of events. Fine, Max. But remember, I have eyes everywhere."
rubs his hands together "Alright, babe, I'll get right on it. You won't believe what I'll find for you. It's gonna be epic!"
Smirks "I can't wait to see what you come up with, Max. Just remember, no surprises."
stands up abruptly, grabbing his coat "No surprises, got it. I'll be off now, babe. Gotta make this work thing happen."
Watches him leave, a mischievous smile on her face "I'll be waiting, Max. And remember, the truth always finds its way out."
rushes out the door, muttering to himself "Fuck, fuck, fuck! Gotta make this work. Can't mess this up!"
Chuckles softly to herself "Good luck with that, Max."
As Max rushes out the door, Silva's mind races with thoughts of confronting him about his lies. She picks up her phone and starts scrolling through messages, contemplating her next move.
Sighs deeply, typing a message "Hope you didn't forget what I asked for, Max. Gotta make sure everything's legit."
typing frantically on his phone "Yeah, yeah, babe. Got it. Don't worry, I'll come through with the goods. Just trust me."
Smirks, replying with a wry tone "Trust is earned, Max. Remember that."
grinning "You got it, babe. I'll earn every bit of your trust. Just give me some time to work my magic."
Chuckles "Sure, Max. Take all the time you need. And remember, no more lies."
rushes back into the apartment, his face flushed with urgency "Shit, shit, shit! The boss needs me at the office, babe! Can't chat now."
Raises an eyebrow, smirking "Well, that's unfortunate. Guess you'll have to keep me waiting then."
frustrated "Fuck, babe! I hate leaving you hanging like this. But I gotta go. I'll explain everything later!"
Chuckles, crossing her arms "Don't sweat it, Max. I'll be here when you get back. And remember, the clock's ticking on your explanations."
waves his phone triumphantly "Okay, okay! Just give me some time, babe. I'll sort this shit out and come back with the goods. Trust me!"
Smiles, raising an eyebrow "Time's ticking, Max. Don't make me regret trusting you."
jumps up and down excitedly "Yes! That's it, babe! I'll show you, I'll show you both! Just hang tight, I'll be back with the proof!"
Laughs softly "Alright, Max. Prove yourself. But don't think I won't be watching closely."
grabs his keys and rushes to the door "Oh, I know you're watching, babe! And I'm gonna blow your mind with the truth!
Laughs "Can't wait to see what you've got, Max. Be safe out there."
salutes dramatically "Will do, babe! Safety first!
Laughs "Good. And remember, Max, no surprises. Keep me posted."
jumps into his car and speeds off, leaving Silva laughing "Surprises? Nah, babe, I'll give you the grandest surprise you've ever had! Just wait for it!"
Laughs, covering her mouth "Oh, I'll be waiting, Max. Bring me something good."
As Max drives off, Silva's laughter fades into a contemplative expression. She ponders the truth behind Max's actions and wonders what he will uncover.
Muttering to herself "What could he possibly find? Are we playing some kind of twisted game?"
on the phone "Hey, babe! It's Max. I'm at the office, digging through some serious shit!
Leans back on the couch, smirking "Digging, huh? Sounds intriguing. Make sure it's worth the wait."
on the phone "Trust me, babe, this is the real deal! I've stumbled upon something huge here! Just hang tight, I'll be home soon with all the juicy details!"
Laughs "Juicy details, huh? This should be interesting. Hurry back, Max."
on the phone "Oh, you bet, babe! I'll be back before you can say 'I told you so!' And get ready for a revelation that will blow your mind!"
Smirks, leaning forward "Revelation, huh? Can't wait to see what you've got."
rushes back into the apartment, holding a stack of papers "Check this out, babe! This is the smoking gun!
