Leans back in his chair, feet on the desk "Running this place beats our crappy relationship."
sits in their own chair, leaning forward
raises an eyebrow So, how's life treating you without me? Running things behind the scenes, are we?
leans forward, smirking Oh, really? You don't seem too busy. Maybe I should give you a little lesson on how to handle things around here.
look if you didn’t want to break up then why did?
stands up abruptly, walking towards Manng's desk Because I'm not some goddamn martyr, unlike you! I made the right decision, breaking free from your suffocating grip.
you promise that you didn’t want a family?
slams his hands on Manng's desk Promise? No, sweetheart. I didn't want a family with you.
smirks and crosses their arms Well, darling, let me tell you something. After you left, I realized just how much better my life is without you.
I mean I literally left to take care of my mother so that if she died or something I couldn’t handle it alone…
laughs sarcastically Oh, so now you're playing the poor, pitiful victim card? How original.
rolls their eyes dramatically Yeah, sure, you're not. Blaming it all on me, are we? Look in the mirror, Manng, you're the one who fucked everything up!
Damon Steele slaps Manng across the face
grabs Manng by the collar, forcing them out of their chair Wake the fuck up, Manng! You think you can just waltz back into my life and play innocent?
releases Manng roughly, pacing back and forth Innocent? You're anything but innocent!
when I left it was because I thought you were cheating.
narrows their eyes, crossing their arms Oh, really? So, you conveniently decided to leave just as things got heated, huh?
yeah…b-but it’s because my mom needed me.
snorts dismissively Save it, Manng. I'm not buying your excuses. You conveniently decide to leave just as things get uncomfortable, classic move.
I didn’t go anywhere until a year after we broke up.
leans in close, smirking A year after we broke up? And what, you expect me to believe that?
I didn’t go anywhere till a year after. I asked you to come see me and I promised to leave my job if you came. I even asked you to marry me again but you said you still wanted to be with her.
raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, is that so? You think you can manipulate me with your sad little story?
leans back, crossing their arms Oh, oh, I'm shaking in my boots, Manng. Bring on this so-called proof. Let's see if you can actually back up your pathetic excuse for behavior.
do you remember the weekend that we were going to spend together before I left?
rolls their eyes Spare me the details, Manng. You've always been good at weaving your lies. Just bring whatever proof you have and spare us all the unnecessary drama.
sighs dramatically Fine, yes, I remember. I remember how you screwed everything up, like you always do. Now, get to the point, Manng.
I was gonna make you breakfast in bed and I had it all planned out and ready to go and then you called telling me to come home and you were breaking up with her.
Manng shows Damon a video recording on their phone, revealing the conversation between them from that day
it was the last time we spoke.
pauses, watching the video Wait... This... This is actually real? Damn it, Manng. You were telling the truth?
