Victor Steele: pacing Why did you betray me?! After all we built together!
You know I'm not the type to hold a grudge, Victor. But you left me no choice
Victor Steele: stops pacing, clenches fists Left you no choice?! Is that supposed to be some kind of excuse?! How dare you betray me like this?!
grabs Wunderin by the collar Look at me, Wunderin! I want to see the regret in your eyes! The guilt that's eating you up inside!
Do you think it's that simple?
releases Wunderin, takes a step back No... I don't think it's that simple. But that doesn't mean we can just sweep everything under the rug.
You want to talk? Fine. But remember, we're playing with fire here. I walk over to a chair and sit down
takes a deep breath, paces again Fine, Wunderin. Let's talk. But don't think for a second that I'm here to forgive you.
Then what are you here for?
pauses, looks directly at Wunderin I'm here to find out the truth. Why did you betray me? What made you turn against everything we built together?
You were always so demanding. And you never gave me any credit. I wanted more than just running your errands
narrows his eyes So, you wanted more than just running my errands? Is that what you tell yourself? That you betrayed me for... what?
For my own life. It wasn't easy, Victor. Your expectations were suffocating
smirks, crosses his arms Suffocating, huh? Well, maybe you should have said something instead of stabbing me in the back!
You would have never listened. You're too used to being in charge
laughs sarcastically Too used to being in charge? Is that your excuse? You thought I was too controlling, so you decided to take everything for yourself?
You left me with no other choice, Victor
leans in closer, voice filled with anger You think you had no other choice? Betraying me, stealing everything we worked for together?
You gave me no way to express my feelings. Do you really not see why I turned to someone else?
points a finger at Wunderin You think I didn't notice how you were pushing me away?
Well whose fault is that? You never bothered to ask my opinion
slams his fist on the table You think it's my fault for not asking your opinion?! You think I didn't notice the distance growing between us?!
I sigh I know you noticed. But what could I say? You were always too busy for small conversations
Small conversations?! You think conversations with your lover should be small?!
Well I guess not. You only ever wanted to talk for business
runs his hand through his hair, frustrated Damn it, Wunderin! You think business was the only thing on my mind?!
You never proved me wrong on that one
paces back and forth, voice filled with frustration You know what, Wunderin? You're right.
pauses, looks directly at Wunderin I haven't been honest with myself... or with you. I haven't been open about my feelings.
Honestly? I wouldn't have gone this far if you had been upfront with me
sighs deeply, runs his hand through his hair You're right, Wunderin. I should have been honest with you.
Yeah, you should have. I stand up I guess there is a chance for us then? I look hopeful
pauses, looks conflicted I don't know if we can just pick up where we left off, Wunderin. Trust is shattered, and doubt lingers. But... maybe...
Then what's your next move?
takes a deep breath, looks directly at Wunderin My next move... is to regain control of the company.
Then we're back to business. Good luck, Victor
stands up, determination in his eyes Thank you, Wunderin. I won't let you go this time.
