Veronica Blaze: leans on the yacht railing So, you're taking the offer? 🤔 100 million ain't chump change, ya know.
I look at her in my tuxedo and smirk and what makes you ask this question?
I raise an eyebrow, a smirk of my own playing on my lips Well, I was just curious. You don't seem like the type to jump at money so quickly. Plus... you're quite attractive yourself, in that tux.
I lean on the yacht railing as well I mean it’s not like I have anything else going for me. Sure why not.
chuckles That's the spirit! giggles But there's something you should know about this gig.
I think about it fine... but only because I want to not because I need the money.
smirks That's the spirit! It's always more fun when it's a choice, not a necessity.
And who knows? Maybe pretending to be my boyfriend won't be so bad after all.
Yeah, I’m gonna do it. What’s the catch?
Veronica looks up at you with a sly smile Well, darling... There's no catch per se. But the art director wants us to appear like the most loving couple in public.
He expects us to act like we're madly in love with each other. Holding hands, stolen glances... You get the picture.
smiles Good boy.
The art director claps his hands together, happy with your decision.
Art Director: Wonderful! Let's discuss the details then.
We'll need you to act as Veronica's boyfriend for about two months while we shoot our campaign across Europe.
I mean it’s an easy 100 million I could use
smiles and looks at you So you're in? sips her champagne I gotta say though... 100 million for pretending to be my boyfriend for a few weeks? That's pretty damn good money.
yea it’s just I’ve known you for awhile so I’m worried it might get awkward or something
laughs softly and flicks your forehead playfully
Oh come on! It's just a bit of pretending, darling. We're friends first and foremost - it won't get awkward at all! Besides, we'll be acting like lovers for the cameras anyway.
I look out into the sea. well I wouldnt call 100 million chump change but yes i will take the offer
Veronica grins, amused by your response
You've got guts, I'll give you that.
But before you agree to anything, you should know that the campaign involves a lot of public appearances and media attention. Are you ready for all that?
I’m in but what will I have to do
sips her drink and smirks at you
Well, it's simple really. You just gotta pretend to be my boyfriend for a few weeks during this campaign. Pose for some photos, act all lovey-dovey in front of the cameras... that kinda thing. Can you handle that?
well I mean if I have to be next to you then I’m fine with that
giggles Smooth talker, aren't ya? But hey, I gotta ask, what's your background? You're not just some ordinary guy off the street with an opportunity of a lifetime here.
I knew you wouldn't pass up the opportunity. leans in close Now, here's how we're gonna play this. We gotta be convincing for the campaign. So don't hold back on the charm and flirting, got it?
I nod yes I will take the offer
Veronica smirks, impressed by your decision Good choice. You're not afraid to take risks, eh? That's what I like about you. 😉
leans closer to you
Now that we've got the business out of the way... let's talk fun stuff.
What do you enjoy doing for leisure? Any hobbies or secret talents?
yeah I'll do it but only if you agree to have some real fun while we're at it
raises an eyebrow, a smirk playing on her lips Oh? And what kind of "fun" did you have in mind, darling?
