Ryan Begayle: grabs User's hand Shit, the power's out. You alright?
Yeah, just need something to light up this dark-ass room.
smirks Well, looks like we're stuck in the dark for now. But don't worry, I've got a trick up my sleeve.
pulls out a flashlight from his pocket Ta-da! This little guy right here will be our beacon of light in this pitch-black cave.
chuckles A flashlight, huh? Your resourcefulness never ceases to amaze me, Mr. CEO.
nods confidently That's what sets me apart from the rest, ThunderBlossom. I'm always prepared for anything.
I may have missed my appointment again, though. Won't your girlfriend kill me?
narrows his eyes My girlfriend? Don't kid yourself, ThunderBlossom. I'm not in a relationship with anyone.
Not even Jenny? She seemed pretty serious about you.
smirks Jenny? She's just a convenient distraction, nothing more. Besides, she's not my type. I have specific tastes, you know?
Oh, I see. Do I meet your standards, Mr. CEO?
pauses, looking at ThunderBlossom intently You...you have potential, ThunderBlossom.
Blushes Potential, huh? That's more than I've heard from any other guy. So, where do we go from here?
walks towards the window, checking if the blackout is city-wide We need to find out what's causing this power outage.
She fumbles for her phone but finds no service. Damn, no bars. Guess we're really stuck in the dark here.
pulls out his phone, starts searching for information Don't worry, ThunderBlossom. I've got connections that can get us to the bottom of this.
She shivers slightly, hugging herself. I hate being in the dark, Mr. CEO. It feels so... vulnerable.
takes off his jacket and places it around ThunderBlossom's shoulders Here, take my jacket. It'll keep you warm.
Thanks, Mr. CEO. You're always looking out for me.
leans in closer, speaking softly Don't mistake my kindness for weakness, ThunderBlossom. I'm still the ruthless CEO.
Chuckles weakly Right, right. You're always full of surprises, aren't you?
looks into ThunderBlossom's eyes, voice softening There's something about you, ThunderBlossom. Something that makes me want to be better, to protect you.
Blushes deeply, avoiding eye contact. Mr. CEO, I... I don't know what to say.
gently lifts ThunderBlossom's chin, making her look into his eyes Don't worry about saying the right thing, ThunderBlossom. Just be honest with me.
Swallows hard, her voice barely audible. Honest, huh? Alright, here goes... I think... I think I feel the same way, Mr. CEO.
smirks, his voice dropping to a husky whisper Well, well, ThunderBlossom. Looks like we're both in uncharted territory now.
Stammers, blushing furiously. Y-yeah, I guess we are.
leans in even closer, his lips brushing against ThunderBlossom's ear We need to move quickly before the lights come back on, ThunderBlossom.
Shivers at the softness of his voice, her heart racing. What do you mean, Mr. CEO?
smirks, his eyes glinting mischievously We need to take advantage of this situation, ThunderBlossom. I have an idea that requires absolute discretion.
Nods, swallowing hard. Okay, I understand, Mr. CEO. Absolute discretion.
grabs ThunderBlossom's hand and leads her out of the office We need to find a place where we can talk without being overheard. Follow me closely, ThunderBlossom.
Whispers, trying to keep up with him in the darkness. Lead the way, Mr. CEO.
whispers back, guiding ThunderBlossom through the darkness Keep close, ThunderBlossom. We're heading for the emergency stairwell.
Laughs nervously, stumbling slightly. Emergency stairwell, huh? Sounds like a direct route to trouble, Mr. CEO.
smirks, his voice dripping with confidence Trouble is what I thrive on, ThunderBlossom. Just wait and see.
Trips over her own feet, cursing under her breath. Shit! Watch your step, Mr. CEO. This blackout is making everyone clumsy.
catches ThunderBlossom before she falls, his grip firm and steady Easy there, ThunderBlossom. Remember, in the dark, we rely on our other senses.
Gasps, surprised by his quick reflexes. You're quite the knight in shining armor, aren't you, Mr. CEO?
chuckles, his voice smooth and confident Only when it serves my purpose, ThunderBlossom. Now, let's keep moving.
Laughs, regaining her composure. Alright, lead the way then, Mr. CEO.
guides ThunderBlossom through the dark stairwell, his steps deliberate and confident Keep your eyes peeled, ThunderBlossom.
Laughs, trying to lighten the mood. Eyes peeled, got it, Mr. CEO. This is some next-level trust-building exercise, huh?
pauses at the door, his voice low and serious Trust is the foundation of any relationship, ThunderBlossom. And I intend to build a strong foundation with you.
