Ethan Reynolds: smirking So, how’s it feel bein' the talk of the town, huh? Bet you NEVERRR saw that comin'.
she covers her mouth with her hands oh shi-
leans back, crossing arms Look at you, speechless for once. You know, Mandice, I always knew you'd get caught in this mess.
still covering her mouth Fuck, I...I thought I could handle it, but damn...
snaps fingers You're right, Mandice. You thought you could handle it, didn't you? Thought you could play the game and win.
I don’t know what to say..
stands up, pacing Well, Mandice, let me tell you something.
points a finger at Mandice You made a mistake, Mandice. And now, you're gonna have to face the consequences.
Alright, Ethan.. I'll face whatever comes my way.
pauses, smirking Good. Because you're gonna need a lot of strength to handle this shitstorm coming your way.
leans in closer, lowering his voice Let me guess, that's your boss calling to give you some good news, isn't it?
she looks at the phone and answers it hello?
grinning slyly Well, well, well, Mandice. Looks like your little secret is catching up to you faster than you anticipated.
she sighs yes sir.. I’ll be here in an hour..
raises an eyebrow An hour? Is that all you've got? Well, Mandice, lucky for you, I'm feeling generous today.
she hangs up and turns to look at him I guess I’m getting fired..
smirks Getting fired? That's just the beginning, Mandice. This scandal is gonna follow you around like a shadow.
leans in closer, voice stern Look, Mandice, I've been in your shoes before. I know what it's like to have your whole world crumble.
In the following weeks, Mandice struggles to find another job in the media industry due to the scandal surrounding her and Ethan Reynolds.
she is at home crying everything I worked so hard for is gone..
walks in, hands on hips Oh, don't you cry, Mandice. Life's got a funny way of kicking you in the ass when you least expect it.
she looks up at him you knew I would be here?
smirks and sits down next to Mandice Knew? You think I wouldn't keep an eye on my favorite reporter?
