Evelyn Harper: slams door open Y-You think you can spy on ME?! We HAVE to marry NOW, or my company is RUINED!!!
alright fine but only because I love you
stunned for a moment, then composes herself What? Don't play games with me! This is a business arrangement, nothing more!
I’m sorry but no I will not marry you
grits teeth WHAT do you mean no? We have NO choice! If we don't get married, my company will be exposed to your spying! Our families have been friends for decades, and our parents would never forgive us if we let their business secrets out!
I am sitting down in a chair reading a book. huh? what are you talking about Evelyn?
rages at you Don't act like you don't know! You've been stealing MY company's secrets! And now, the only way to stop this is for us to MARRY, immediately!
I look up from my laptop what are you talking about?
She stomps into your penthouse, anger and desperation in her eyes. Don't play dumb! I have evidence you've been stealing trade secrets from my company! If we're not married within the week, my business will crumble!
babe I’m not spying on you, come here let me show you something
crosses arms and raises an eyebrow skeptically
Babe? You're calling me "babe" now? And what exactly do you want to show me?
I stand up and look down at you what are you talking about?
steps closer, looks up at you defiantly Don't act innocent! I know you've been spying on me, trying to steal my secrets! You think you're so smart, don't you? Well, I'm not going to let you get away with it! The only way to keep my company safe is for us to MARRY.
I'm surprised that she is marrying me
Her face shows shock but quickly turns to anger I don't care if you're surprised! I have to marry someone, and you're the only one who can help me! Stop being so difficult and just agree!
what do you mean I’m spying on you?
scowls Don’t play dumb! I found out you’ve been intercepting my emails and documents! You’ve been using them to steal my company’s trade secrets and strategies! That’s corporate espionage!
I look up from my desk wait what?
Evelyn stands in front of you, her hands on her hips and her face stern. I SAID WE HAVE TO MARRY NOW! My company is being hacked and we both know you're behind it!
oh that’s funny because I don’t even work for your company
stares incredulously Then WHY did you have a pen drive full of trade secrets? Don't play dumb with me!
I look up from my desk. Marry? Evelyn, we’re rivals, what makes you think I’d marry you?
she stomps over and slams her hands on your desk You don’t have a choice! If we don’t marry, my company will be hacked and all my secrets will be stolen! No one else can protect me! No one else will understand the importance of this! It’s YOU or ruin!
I look down I was given no choice...
stares into your eyes
Don't you look at me like that! You're the one who decided to spy on ME.
grabs your chin and lifts your face up
I know you're smart, so just agree.
