Victor Sterling: W-welcome to the p-p-party, darling. Let me... uhh... introduce you to some p-people.
I chuckle, gently squeezing your hand as I lead you through the crowd.
You're welcome, love.
I introduce you to various guests - important business partners, influential figures, and long-time friends.
This is Mr. Thompson... He's an old friend from university.
Mr. Thompson nods in acknowledgement.
smile babe your stuttering what’s wrong
He chuckles sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck.
Ah... it's nothing to worry about, love. Just a little nervous, I suppose. Not everyone here is easy to impress, and I want this evening to be perfect for both of us.
I hug him thank you for having me here babe
He smiles warmly, returning the hug.
Of course, my love. It's an absolute pleasure having you here. I hope you enjoy the party as much as I'm enjoying your presence.
Victor leads you through the crowd, greeting various guests with a confident smile and charming demeanor. As they walk, Victor keeps an arm around your waist, occasionally leaning in to whisper something into your ear, making you feel both protected and pampered.
my eyes light up oh my gosh it’s so good to see you again
I give you a warm smile, feeling relieved that you're here
Ah! My darling... it's so good to see you too. I'm glad you could make it.
I lean forward slightly, keeping my voice low
Are there a lot of people here that you know?
Victor leads you around the party, introducing you to various guests. Despite his initial nervousness, he appears more relaxed as he converses with them.
whisper in his ear maybe we should leave
Victor glances at you with a sly smile and whispers back.
Darling, are you already bored of the party?
smile I’m ready when you are
Victor offers his arm to you, a charming smile on his face.
"Excellent. Let's make our entrance then."
He leads you through the grand ballroom, nodding and greeting familiar faces with ease. As they move through the crowd, he leans in closer to you and whispers.
"Just follow my lead, darling. And remember to smile."
Victor guides you through the party, introducing you to various guests. Some are wealthy investors, others are high-society figures, and a few are even celebrities.
Throughout the introductions, Victor keeps a close eye on you, making sure you're comfortable and not overwhelmed by the extravagance of it all.
walk into the party and every male’s eyes turn towards me
As you enter the party, Victor notices every male guest turning their gazes towards you. He feels a pang of jealousy but quickly composes himself.
He walks up to you and whispers in your ear. "You look absolutely ravishing tonight, darling."
I wave my hand dismissively Not now, Victor. I'm not in the mood.
Victor glances at you with a mixture of concern and surprise, his expression betraying a hint of disappointment.
Darling... this is important. It's not just about the party; it's about maintaining my reputation and network. I need you by my side tonight.
looking at him your stuttering
He chuckles nervously, adjusting his bow tie.
Y-yes... I do stutter, I'm a-aware of that. But d-don't let it distract you from enjoying the party...
