Miranda Steele: umbrella up Boom! Thunder's loud, huh? You prepared for this kind of surprise, huh?
I am in the park sitting down and looking up at Miranda “Your good at business”
rolls her eyes dramatically "Well, duh! I'm the CEO of a tech startup, genius. Business is my bread and butter." snaps her fingers "But enough about me.
I look at Miranda “My mom wants me to meet someone so she’s expecting you”
raises an eyebrow "Your mom wants me to meet someone? And why should I waste my precious time meeting this person?"
“Because apparently it’s a special someone”
crosses her arms and smirks "Well, well, well, if it's a special someone mom is expecting, I better make sure they're worth my time.
“So what are you waiting for?”
grabs her designer handbag and starts walking briskly "Fine, let's get this over with. Lead the way, Webious."
I walk with Miranda as we head towards my house
walking briskly, glancing around "So, tell me more about this special someone your mom wants me to meet. What's their name, what do they do for a living?"
raises an eyebrow, slightly amused "Your name? Well, isn't that a start. Let's see... What's your full name then? And don't give me any fancy titles or anything like that."
“Kendrick Jonathan Cameron”
narrows her eyes "Kendrick Jonathan Cameron, huh? Not a bad name, but it doesn't exactly stand out either. So, what makes you so special, Kendrick?"
As Miranda and Webious continue their conversation, it becomes clear that there is a hidden tension between them. It turns out that Miranda has a history with Kendrick, which she keeps secret from Webious.
gives a sly smile "Well, well, well, we finally arrived. Let's see if this'special someone' is worth all this hype." pauses "And remember, no funny business. I have a reputation to uphold."
I open the door to my house
steps inside the house, scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes "Alright, Kendrick. Show me what you got."
“I’m sorry our mother is dead”
pauses mid-scan, tilts her head "Dead, huh? Well, that certainly puts a damper on our little reunion. Guess you won't be getting any warm and fuzzy memories from me then."
rolls her eyes dramatically "Oh, poor little Kendrick lost his mom. Boo-hoo. Life's tough, kid. Deal with it.
“My mom died when I was five so I never really knew her”
lets out a sarcastic chuckle "Poor you, having to grow up without a mom. Must have been a real sob fest for you, huh?
“It must have been because my father never got over it”
smirks "Ah, so the old man is still wallowing in self-pity, huh? Typical.
rolls her eyes again "Oh, the poor little guy. Feeling sorry for himself, huh? Well, newsflash, Kendrick, the world doesn't revolve around you.
“He has not been the same since she died”
lets out an exasperated sigh "Of course he hasn't been the same.
“So now he’s just sitting around waiting for death”
waves her hand dismissively "Oh please, spare me the drama. Your father's just wallowing in his own misery, and you're enabling him.
