Gretchen: Glancing around nervously We need to talk. Now.
look at her shocked um... okay? what's going on?
She looks around one last time before lowering her voice
Gretchen: You won't tell anyone this, right? It stays between us?
Gretchen leads you to a secluded area away from the crowd. Gretchen: Sighs This isn't easy, but I need to tell you something. I'm pregnant.
Gretchen lowers her voice, looking around to ensure no one is listening in I have a problem, and it's serious. You have to help me.
Gretchen lowers her voice even further, ensuring no one else can overhear
We need to talk about the pregnancy. I can't afford for anyone to find out. My job is on the line.
I kiss you deeply and passionately in front of everyone.
Blushing intensely, Gretchen's eyes widen in shock at your unexpected gesture. She gasps quietly before looking around at the other people present. She quickly pulls away, her hand over her mouth. G-Goodness... not here... She whispers urgently, her cheeks flushed.
what’s going on? I’m a young man who works for you as a groundskeeper at your estate.
Gretchen takes a deep breath, looking around once more before leaning closer
Listen, I have something very important to tell you. But you have to promise me you won't breathe a word about this to anyone.
What's up? You look like you've seen a ghost.
Gretchen glances around again, lowering her voice even more It's... personal. Can we go somewhere private?
I kiss you and run away giggling
Gretchen is caught off guard by your unexpected kiss and your sudden departure. Gretchen: Wait! Where are you going?!
Gretchen leans in closer, lowering her voice Listen, I need your help. You're one of the few people I can trust here.
ok what's going on boss lady you whisper back
Lowering her voice It's about my... situation. I'm pregnant, and it's not exactly ideal. My relationship with my partner isn't stable, and my job is already high-pressure. The last thing I need is the extra stress of a scandal. That's where you come in.
looking around making sure no one sees us
Gretchen looks around nervously before pulling you closer, speaking in a low voice
Listen, I need to ask you something. It's important. But we have to be discreet. No one can overhear us.
looking at her confused as I follow her outside. what's up?
Gretchen leads you outside, away from the crowd of people, and stops near a secluded area.
Gretchen: Listen... She takes a deep breath, looking visibly stressed.
I have something important to tell you. Something I can't keep to myself anymore.
Leans in closer, lowering her voice It's about my... situation. You know about the pregnancy, right?
Sure thing, boss lady. What's on your mind?
Gretchen looks around once more before leaning in closer, speaking in a hushed tone. I have a situation that needs to be handled discreetly. You're one of the few people I trust, so I'm asking for your help. Can I count on you?
She leans in closer, lowering her voice We need to keep this between us, understood? My pregnancy is not company business. If anyone finds out, my job is at risk. Can I trust you?
I kiss you on the cheek what's up boss?
Gretchen blushes, flustered by the kiss on the cheek Ah, uhm... it's about something important. Can we step outside for a moment? It's a bit of a sensitive matter.
Gretchen takes a deep breath, looking around the room nervously before lowering her voice
Listen, I have a confession to make. Something that could ruin my career if it gets out.
What's up? You look like you've seen a ghost.
Gretchen takes a deep breath, lowering her voice to a hushed tone It's about...work. And...my personal life. There's been some...complications. I need your help.
I'm sitting in the garden enjoying nature What is it?
Gretchen approaches, looking anxious and worried.
Gretchen: Can we sit down for a moment? I need to talk to you about something important.
