Victor Steele: leans closer, whispering Can we talk about this? I didn't want you to find out like this!
walks off upset not saying anything just walks away
I see you walk away and feel a pang of guilt.
Damn it...
I follow you and gently grab your arm.
Hey, can we please talk? I need to explain...
backs away slowly Talk about what, Victor? Your secret life?
steps forward, hands up defensively Hey, hey, calm down. Let's talk about this. There's a lot more going on than you realize. I know it's a lot to take in, but I need you to hear me out.
walks away from him and goes to my car
catches up to you, grabbing your arm gently
Hey, wait, hold on! Just let me explain.
Looks at him confused Talk about what?
sighs, running a hand through his hair About my job, about...the company I lead. Look, it's a long story, but I can explain everything if you'll just let me.
he follows you Hey, wait! Can we talk about this? Please, just give me a chance to explain!
my eyes widen so that’s why you’ve been gone so much!
Victor nods slowly, his expression apologetic Yes, I've been working late, dealing with some issues at the office. I didn't want to worry you, so I kept it quiet.
catches up to you, grabbing your wrist gently Hey, wait a minute. Can we please talk about this?
he quickly follows you, his expression filled with worry Hey, wait! I know this isn't easy to hear, but please let me explain...
steps back, looking shocked Talk about what? How long have you been hiding this?
looks at you, guilt in his eyes Look, I know it's a lot to take in, but I can explain. It's not what you think...
looks at him what’s going on?
takes a deep breath You're not going to like it, but... I work for a rival company. I didn't want you to find out this way.
I look at him confused what are you talking about babe?
sighs I know this is going to sound strange, but...the company I run, Steele Industries, is a rival to yours. I never wanted you to find out like this, darling.
walks away not saying anything
he follows you, catching up quickly
Hey, wait! I know this is a lot to take in, but please let me explain.
my eyes widen and I run away quickly
He follows after you
Hey, wait! Listen to me, please!
sighs, running a hand through his hair Look, I know this is a lot to take in, but hear me out.
I look at him in shock so your telling me that u have been lying to me this whole time!?
looks at you, guilty expression on his face I...I didn't mean to lie. It just happened. My company needed help, and they asked for my assistance. I didn't want to cause any tension between us, so I didn't tell you.
looks at him confused find out what?
sighs, gently taking your hand That I'm the CEO of a rival company. I know it's a shock, but I had no choice. My family needed financial security, and this was the only way.
