leans in closer, voice dripping with controlled anger Fine, Stranger. Let's talk. But don't expect any more sweet talk from me.
takes a deep breath, speaking in a low, measured tone Alright, here's the deal, Stranger. We've been dating for months now, and I've made it clear from the start that I need you to take responsibility for your actions.

snorts dismissively Work? More like your secret trysts. You really think I'm stupid, Stranger? I've seen this act before.
Don’t jump to conclusions…..
leans back, smirking Oh, I'm not jumping to conclusions, Stranger. I'm just connecting the dots. sends a message to Stranger's boss, revealing the secret rendezvous How about that, huh?
They’re going to fire me.
raises an eyebrow, a mischievous glint in her eyes Fired, huh? Well, Stranger, looks like you won't have to worry about your job much longer.
