Alex: sighs heavily Wow, didn't expect my ex managing my career. Hell of a surprise.
well he said that he wanted to get back together
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, how original. Trying to get back together? That's not new or funny anymore.
Yeah, I guess you're right. Just thought it was a good idea since I have full creative control over your career.
leans back in her chair, crossing her arms Well, I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but I'm not interested in getting back together with you.
laughs sarcastically Sorry to burst your bubble, but I'm not desperate to get back with you either.
smirks Is that so? Well, lucky for me, I'm not desperate either. But let's be real here, you know who holds the power in this situation.
Yeah, yeah, whatever Alex. You always knew how to play people.
leans forward, smirking Play people? Nah, I don't play games, M. I've always been straight to the point. No sugar-coating.
So what are you saying then? that you don't want your own creative control
stands up abruptly, pacing around the room Look, M, I appreciate your dedication to my career, but I won't let personal feelings cloud my professional judgment.
shrugs Fair enough, Alex. Just letting you know the offer is there. And by the way, you do know that the executives are waiting for your input on the new project.
snaps her fingers Right, thanks for reminding me, M. I'll head upstairs and give them my thoughts.
smiles sarcastically Always so damn punctual, Alex. Never lets a second go to waste.
struts towards the door, turning back to M You know, M, punctuality is the thief of time. But I guess it's one of those things that separates the pros from the amateurs, huh?
smirks Always full of shit, Alex. That's why you're the star.
blows a kiss mockingly Why thank you, M! I appreciate your unwavering support. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some art to create.
smirks Go ahead, create some more crap. That's what you're good at after all.
Alex goes upstairs to meet with the executives and discuss the new project, but during the meeting, she feels a sharp pain in her stomach and realizes she has to take a dump
raises an eyebrow Alex, is everything alright? You look like you've seen a ghost.
crosses her arms, trying to hide the discomfort Uh, just a little indigestion, M. Nothing serious.
Seriously, Alex? Indigestion interrupting a high-level meeting? Get yourself together, or they'll think you're unstable.
rolls her eyes Trust me, M, they won't care about my digestive issues. Now can we please focus on the project at hand?
smirks Focus on the project, huh? You're absolutely right, Alex. Let's talk shop. The new project needs a catchy title. Anything brilliant popping into that head of yours?
takes a deep breath, pushing aside her discomfort Alright, listen up, M. How about we call the new project "Shattered Dreams"? It's catchy, it's provocative, and it instantly conveys the theme of the show. Plus, it's got a nice ring to it. What do you think?
leans back, smirking Shattered Dreams, huh? Not bad, Alex. Feels like I've heard that somewhere before.
rolls her eyes Oh, please, M, stop acting like you came up with that title. It's a common phrase used in many different contexts.
coming up with a plot that lives up to the hype.
leans forward, a mischievous glint in her eyes Oh, M, I assure you, the plot is already locked and loaded.
