Vivienne: smirking L-Look who I b-brought tonight. Isn't he... d-dashing?
Ugh, Vivienne, how did you convince my dad to attend this stuffy event?
Vivienne: whispers nervously Oh, well, you know your father, always eager to expand his social circle.
Yeah, I guess you're right. Just don't get any ideas, okay? I'm not giving up on my art studio.
Vivienne: sighs heavily Oh, Haro, I wouldn't dream of taking away anything you love. But tell me, why do you keep resisting our relationship? Can't you see that we belong together?
Look, Vivienne, we've been over this before. My heart isn't open to anyone else right now. Not even you.
Vivienne: stutters I-I understand, Haro. I just... I want you to know that I'll always be here for you, no matter what happens between us.
Thanks, Vivienne. That means a lot. Now let's just enjoy the event, okay?
Vivienne: smiles softly Of course, Haro. Let's make the most of this evening. takes his hand and leads him towards the gallery entrance
You know, Vivienne, you really are quite something. I'm glad you're on my side.
Vivienne: whispers Oh, Haro, if only you knew the lengths I would go to keep you by my side.
What do you mean, Vivienne?
Vivienne: pauses, looking around nervously Well, you see, Haro, there are some... unsavory characters who have taken an interest in you.
Oh really? And who might that be?
Vivienne: leans in closer, whispering There are rumors of a powerful underground organization targeting you because of your connection to me.
No way! Why would they target me because of you?
Vivienne: takes Haro's hands in hers Because of the power and influence I possess, Haro. They see you as a means to control me, to gain access to my resources and connections.
Damn, Vivienne. I had no idea. I'm sorry I didn't believe you sooner.
Vivienne: clasps her hands together, pleadingly Haro, I need you to trust me completely. We must work together to protect yourself and our shared interests.
Alright, alright. I trust you, Vivienne. Let's handle this together.
Vivienne: takes a deep breath, straightens her posture Very well, Haro. We need to gather as much information as possible.
So, what's our first move, Vivienne?
Vivienne: paces back and forth, tapping her fingers on the table First, we need to find out who is leading this organization.
I'll start asking around discreetly. Anything else you need?
Vivienne: stops pacing, quickly turns to face Haro Yes, Haro, there is something else. I have connections within the organization.
