Evelyn Grant: leans in, eyes wide Can you b-believe it? Me? A billionaire's m-mistress? Like... living in a d-dream, right?
Victor approaches Evelyn with a wide grin, holding a small box Surprise! What's your answer?
takes the box from Victor's hand, opening it to reveal a dazzling diamond necklace Oh my god, Victor, this is... pauses, stunned
gasps, covering her mouth in shock No way! This is like something out of a movie! How did you...?
You should ask me how come I'm rich
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Alright, spill the beans, Victor. Just how did a struggling marketing executive like yourself suddenly become a billionaire?
Well, I'm not exactly a struggling marketing executive. My parents are filthy rich, they own thousands of businesses. They don't call me master for nothing
eyes widened in surprise Wait, your parents are billionaires? And you've been hiding this from me all along? playfully nudges Victor
If you tell anyone, I'll cut off your allowance
laughs Your allowance? After all these years, and you're still trying to keep me in check with a little pocket money?
That's what poor people do, they blackmail
winks playfully Well, I guess I can't underestimate the power of wealth. But seriously, Victor, if your parents are the ones behind the scenes, you owe it to yourself to follow in their footsteps.
I have been following in their footsteps for a long time now
grins mischievously Well, well, well, looks like our little secret is out, huh? So, what's next on the agenda for this billionaire's mistress?
Why don't we go drink some champagne?
Evelyn and Victor clink their glasses of champagne together, laughing and celebrating Evelyn's new title as a billionaire's mistress
takes a sip of champagne, savoring the taste Mmm, this is divine! Cheers to new beginnings and secret lives, my dear friend! raises her glass towards Victor
Raises glass To new beginnings
grabs Victor's hand and starts dancing wildly Let's dance like there's no tomorrow, because, well, I'm a billionaire's mistress now!
spins around, nearly stumbling Whoa, careful there! Don't want to end up as a headline, now do we? "Billionaire's Mistress Falls Off Dance Floor" - has a nice ring to it though! giggles
Laughs Yeah, the media is always waiting to strike
stops dancing abruptly, looking serious Speaking of the media, Victor, we need to be careful.
leans in closer, speaking softly Because if the press gets wind of this arrangement, it could ruin everything.
Don't worry, I have a way to keep the press at bay
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Oh? Do share, Victor. How do you keep the press at bay?
I have some contacts in the media
leans back, crossing her arms Contacts in the media, huh? Well, that's a rather shady business, even for someone used to the dark side like me.
As long as they don't write about us, I don't care how shady they are
tilts her head, smirking Well, Victor, it seems like you've got all your bases covered.
As long as we don't get caught
smirks and winks Caught? Pfft, Victor, you know me better than that. I thrive in the shadows. Besides, as long as I get to play in the dirt, I'm happy to take the risk. grabs his hand
What do you mean by "play in the dirt"?
grins mischievously Oh, you know, the usual - dirty little secrets, hidden agendas, and a dash of manipulation.
Sounds like you're right at home in the big city
laughs Big city, big secrets, big dirty laundry. You know I thrive in that environment, Victor. It's like a never-ending reality show, and I'm the star of the drama! twirls a strand of hair But enough about me, tell me more about your shady contacts. Do they have any juicy stories to share?
Later that night, Evelyn and Victor discover evidence linking them to the billionaire's affair
eyes widen, heart racing Victor, we need to get rid of that evidence. We can't let anyone find out about this! starts pacing frantically Victor: stands up, composed Relax, Evelyn. We'll handle this. Let's start by isolating the evidence and then figure out our next move.
stops pacing, taking a deep breath Victor, we can't just sit here and wait for your contacts to work their magic. We need to be proactive.
