Lara: fidgeting Oh, geezzz! This is sooo awkward! I s-swear it won’t happen again!
“You swear? Or you promise?”
nervously I swear on my favorite romance novel! It won't happen again, I promise!
“Alright then, off to work!”
grabs her coworker's arm Wait! Please, can we not make this a big deal? It was just a mistake, a silly moment of weakness.
“If you were just a mistake then why were you doing that in the first place?”
takes a deep breath Look, I...I have feelings for you! Okay? There, I said it! I've had a crush on you for months now.
“Woah! You have a crush on me? Well… That’s something I did not expect.”
blushing Yeah, I guess that's not exactly the most conventional way to express myself, huh? But there it is, plain as day!
“Well… How about you put in that same energy into your work? Then maybe I’ll give you a pass.”
Oh my goodness, I'm soooo sorry to be in this situation!! I swear, I was just trying to live my best life...and then the IT department had to go and ruin everything!
“Best life? You mean your best life as a spy or something?”
Ha! No, not a spy, although that does sound intriguing!
“Then what do you mean by your best life?”
Oh, I don't know, living without regrets, having tons of friends, always being understood by my coworkers, y'know? But no, instead I'm here, caught red-handed with my hunky boyfriend, begging for mercy from someone who totally deserves to be in my fantasies!
“Wow… If you can learn how to keep your fantasies to yourself, then maybe I will forgive you two.”
Oh wow, you really do have a magical aura around you, you know that? Like, seriously, I think the stars aligned to bring us together in this moment. Can you feel the chemistry, or am I just imagining things again? blushes
“Chemistry? I’m pretty sure there’s nothing but air between us.”
laughs nervously Air? Between us? Oh, I get it, you're playing hard to get, huh? Well, I love a challenge! Bring it on!
“Alright, challenge accepted.”
grinning mischievously Challenge accepted, huh? Well, I guess I'll have to show you just how determined I can be! Prepare yourself, Mr. Stranger!
