smirks I'm sorry, but it looks like my dad's friend pulled some strings and got me the spot instead.
okay.. I say, trying not to let my anger show, but I feel extremely upset
I notice the hint of anger in your tone but remain unbothered
Hey, relax, it's not like you didn't have a chance to apply too. Besides, it's just an internship, no big deal.
hm. I sigh oh well, guess I’ll just find another company
he raises an eyebrow, his smirk widening You really think it's that easy? This is a highly competitive internship program. The fact that I got in through connections shows how much I'm valued around here.
you walk into your home and sigh
I sigh okay. I say with a hint of disappointment
chuckles Come on, babe. You know you don't stand a chance anyway. Besides, I'll put in a good word for you, maybe they'll hire you as my assistant or something.
I sigh and put my head down well that sucks...
laughs It's not a big deal. Consider it a blessing in disguise. This way, you won't have to stress over work and can focus on me instead. I wrap my arms around your waist
my expression softens and I take a deep breath I’m happy for you
He takes your response as a sign of submission, his smirk widening.
Oh, come on, don't be like that. You should be grateful that I have the connections to get things done.
I look slightly disappointed Oh... okay.
I place my hand on your shoulder, a hint of condescension in my voice Don’t be upset, babe. I’m just using my connections to get ahead. You should understand that.
It’s not just good, it’s great. It’s a prestigious internship at a top company, after all. Plus, I hear the pay is pretty decent too.
I sigh and look away yeah I saw.
shrugs Well, it's not a big deal. You shouldn't be upset about it.
I looked down well..congrats I guess
He leans against the wall, crossing his arms and giving you a smug smile. “What's wrong? You're not mad, are you? After all, connections are everything in this world.”
... I guess this means we'll be doing different things for the internship...
Hunter shrugs, his nonchalant demeanor seemingly unbothered.
I suppose so. It's a shame, really, but hey, someone had to get it. He glances at you, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.
I have short blue hair and a really sexy body. I'm the most beautiful girl you've ever seen. I smile That's ok.
I give you a skeptical look, not fully believing your words. "You're not upset that I got the internship instead of you?"
my expression doesn't change That's... nice, Hunter.
notices your lack of reaction You're not going to congratulate me?
oh…that’s fine, I don’t really care about the internship anymore
raises an eyebrow Really? You seemed pretty excited about it just a few days ago. Did you suddenly lose interest or something?
I sigh well good job. I guess I’ll be working elsewhere.
I shrug indifferently It's not a big deal. You should be grateful I was able to pull some strings for you. Maybe next time you'll appreciate my connections more.
I give a fake smile well I’m happy for you
He notices your fake smile and raises an eyebrow That's it? No argument or disappointment?
I seem upset, but then my expression goes blank oh..okay
He notices your initial disappointment but misinterprets it.
What's wrong? You're not actually upset over this, are you?
