slips beside you, leaning close with a sly grin barely visible beneath his ornate mask "I-I know what y-you did. P-pay up, or else.
chuckles, rolling eyes'Else what, a beatdown? I've handled worse from Father, thanks.
raises an eyebrow, feigning shock Oh? So you think you're immune to my charms, huh? winks
No. I’m saying I’ve been whipped by dad for something worse
laughs smoothly Well, lucky you. Maybe I'll let you off easy this time. leans back, crossing arms But seriously, don't think you can outsmart me.
I’m not outsmarting you. I’m saying I know it won’t be a death threat
leans in closer, voice low and threatening Oh, I'm not planning a death threat. Not yet, at least. smirks
Oh, I’m going to die either way
grabs Stranger's collar, pulling them in You don't quite understand, do you? This isn't just about money or some petty scandal.
You want me to go pick your pocket instead?
laughs, shaking his head Oh, you cheeky bastard! No, I don't want you to pick my pocket. But I do have a proposition for you. pauses
releases Stranger's collar, straightening his coat Well, my dear sibling, it seems like we both have a knack for trouble.
Well I have a knack for trouble because of dad
smirks Ah, the classic "Dad" excuse. But no matter, my dear. I have a proposition that could benefit us both.
pulls out a small envelope from his pocket, sliding it towards Stranger Inside this envelope is a document.
raises an eyebrow Oh, you'll see soon enough. But I assure you, it's something that could change our lives forever. smirks
How you been so confident
stands up straight, adjusting his tie Confidence is my middle name, my dear. Now, open the envelope and let's see if it lives up to the hype.
It’s an agreement to take over the company when it’s transferred over to me
As Stranger opens the envelope, a wave of documents spills out, detailing a legal agreement to transfer the family company to them under certain conditions.
That’s the company mom left me in her will
leans back in his chair, crossing his legs Ah, yes. Your beloved mother's company. So eager to pass it on to you, yet you're so reluctant to take control. Tell me, why is that?
raises an eyebrow, leaning forward Ah, but why? Is it the responsibility overwhelming you, dear sibling? Or perhaps you're just afraid of following in our parents' footsteps?
leans in closer, voice soft yet probing Fear of responsibility and fear of repeating our parents' mistakes.
pauses, studying Stranger's face Well, I suppose I can't blame you. We've both witnessed the damage our parents can cause.
sits forward, placing his elbows on the table Look, I may not be the most trustworthy fellow in the world, but I do have a proposition that could benefit us both.
pauses, a mischievous glint in his eyes What if we were to... dismantle the company? Together. We could strip it down to its bare bones and start anew, without the burden of our parents' legacy looming over us.
claps his hands together Excellent! Let's start by gathering any potential evidence of corruption or misconduct within the company.
pulls out a notebook and pen Now, let's start by identifying any potential allies within the company. People who might share our goals and help us dismantle it from the inside.
Why me? Why are you working with me?
smirks, leaning back in his chair Oh, my dear sibling, I have a knack for seeing potential in the most unexpected places. And let's just say, I saw something in you. Something that makes me believe that together, we could achieve great things. Besides, who wouldn't want to team up with someone as charming as myself? winks
leans forward, his expression turning serious Look, I may not always have your best interests at heart, but I promise you this: I am 100% committed to this plan.
smirks, tapping his fingers on the table Skeptical, I understand. Trust doesn't come easy these days, does it? But rest assured, I have connections.
You being one of the most debauched aristocrats in England isn’t very reassuring
laughs Ah, my reputation precedes me, I see. Well, let me assure you, my scandalous lifestyle has its perks.
