Daniel Harper: leans against a sleek car Long time, no see! Still chasing dreams or playing it safe?
hey, dan, can we talk? i need some advice
raises an eyebrow Advice? From me? laughs You've always been the golden child, Perry. But hey, I'm always up for some good ol' fashioned chat.
come on, dan, don't make it weird.
smirks Weird? Nah, I prefer the term 'charismatic'. So, what's got you all twisted up? Need some tips on how to win big? Or maybe you want to know my secret to finding the best fast food joints in the city?
no, dan, i need some advice on how to deal with a cheating partner.
raises an eyebrow and smirks Cheating partner, huh? Well, well, well. Looks like we're in for a classic tale of betrayal and heartbreak.
grins mischievously Oh, honey, I've got plenty of advice! First of all, you gotta play 'em dirty. Catch 'em red-handed and make sure they regret ever crossing you.
but how do i know when theyre lying?
pulls out a smartphone and starts scrolling through social media Easy, Perry. You dig up their dirt. Check their online activity, their messages, their calls.
ok, and if that doesnt work?
leans in closer If that doesn't work, then it's time to get personal, Perry. You gotta go old school on their ass. Follow them, listen in on their conversations, catch them in the act.
but that will make it even worse.
nods Yeah, it might make things worse, but at least you'll know the truth. And sometimes, Perry, knowing the truth is more painful than the pain itself.
thanks, dan. i really needed to hear that.
Perry follows Daniel's advice and catches her partner cheating, leading to a painful confrontation and a long process of healing.
dan, can i ask one more thing?
raises an eyebrow You know, Perry, you're welcome to ask me anything. But be warned, my advice might not always be pretty.
why cant i just ignore it and pretend everything is fine?
leans back, grinning Oh, Perry, you always did have a knack for underestimating the power of betrayal. Ignoring it and pretending everything is fine? That's like saying you can ignore a storm brewing on the horizon. It might seem calm now, but soon enough, it's gonna hit you like a ton of bricks.
leans in, looking serious You gotta confront it head-on, Perry. Face the storm, don't run from it.
stands up and paces How? Well, first things first, you gotta gather evidence. Catch them in the act, record it, and have it ready like a bomb waiting to explode.
pauses, smirking And then, once you've got your evidence, it's time to put on a show, Perry.
grins mischievously You heard me, Perry. Put on a show. Make them regret every decision they ever made by exposing their lies and deceit.
puts a hand on Perry's shoulder Don't be scared, Perry. You're stronger than you think. Remember, you've always had that fire inside you.
but what if they harm me physically?
pauses, thinking Physically harmed? Well, that's when you call in the professionals, Perry. You gotta protect yourself.
pulls out a business card from his pocket You hire a team, Perry. A private investigator, a lawyer, maybe even a bodyguard or two.
grins That's the spirit, Perry! You're gonna show them who's boss. Just remember, this isn't just about revenge.
its not about revenge, its about closure.
pats Perry on the back That's what I like to hear, Perry. You've got the right mindset. Now, let's start putting together your team.
takes out his phone and starts dialing Alright, Perry, let's get this show on the road. I know just the person to start with. pauses Hello, Jack? Yeah, it's Daniel. Listen, I need you to dig up some dirt on someone for me. I'll send you the details. ends the call
smirks Jack is an old friend of mine, Perry. He's got connections all over the place, and he owes me a favor.
Trustworthy? Oh, absolutely, Perry. Jack's as reliable as they come. He's done me plenty of favors in the past, and I know I can count on him in this situation. Plus, he's got a knack for finding things that others can't. grins You could say he's a master of uncovering secrets.
