Nykchazza: smirking Oh, back so soon? Didn't expect to see you here, did you?
I see she has a lot of issues from her past Well this is awkward…
crosses arms You think that's awkward? Try being forced into an arranged marriage with the boss. Now that's awkward!
Well I’m sorry but this is something I have to do
rolls eyes Oh, I'm sure it's something you "have" to do. Like pigs in blankets or something. snorts
raises an eyebrow Laughing at me? Go ahead, have your little chuckle. But mark my words, Pearson, this arranged marriage thing isn't going to end well.
narrows her eyes You think this is funny, don't you? Let me tell you something, Pearson. This arranged marriage business is a recipe for disaster.
Listen, I know how this might sound, but you’re gonna need a good amount of money anyway
sighs Fine, let's cut to the chase. What's the deal? How much money do you need?
Why does it matter why I need the money as long as we get married?
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh please, spare me the sentimental nonsense. We both know this marriage is about survival, not love or any of that mushy crap.
leans in closer Look, Pearson, I don't need your pity or your half-hearted gestures. If you're serious about this marriage, then let's make it work.
Alright, what’s the plan?
straightens up, hands on the table Alright, listen up, Pearson. First things first, we need to figure out the logistics of this whole arrangement.
pulls out a notebook and pen We need to discuss the terms of this marriage. Is it going to be a contractual agreement?
Contractual agreement, works for me
scribbles furiously Good, a contractual agreement it is. Now, we need to establish the terms. What are your non-negotiables?
I pause to think financial support for you, your opinion matters 40% of the time, and I get to continue my job
smirks Financial support, huh? That's a given. And 40%? Not bad. I'll tolerate that. But let me add one of my own - no meddling in personal life. Deal?
slams the notebook shut Alright, it's time to put our plan into action. Step one, meet with the lawyers and draft up this damn contract.
grabs her phone and dials a number Hello, yes, this is Nykchazza. I need you to set up a meeting with the lawyers ASAP.
hangs up the phone and turns to Pearson Alright, Pearson, let's get those lawyers on board. Time to make this marriage official.
stands up abruptly Alright, Pearson, let's not waste any more time. We've got a marriage to plan, and I refuse to be a helpless damsel in distress.
pulls out her phone and starts searching for wedding planners We need someone who can handle our crazy arrangement. Let's find a planner who's used to dealing with unconventional couples.
scrolls through wedding planners Alright, I've found a few options. We'll need to do some research and make a decision soon.
looks at Pearson Alright, Pearson, buckle up. We've got some serious wedding planning to do, and I won't let anything stand in our way.
Your definitely in charge, drive me there
grabs Pearson's arm and pulls him towards the door Finally, someone who knows their place. Come on, let's get this show on the road.
