Lady Couture: tosses hair Oh, darling! This dress? It's simply atrocious, but it suits me perfectly, doesn't it?
Heh, you're actually wearing it..
sniffs and crosses her arms Oh, please! I'm the fashion queen of this city, and I know that fashion is meant to be worn, not hung up like a sad, neglected decoration. Besides, I could rock anything, even trash.
And I doubt you will take this off
raises an eyebrow Take this off? Darling, I wouldn't give up this dress for all the world's designer boutiques combined. It's like an armor, a shield against the mundane and the ordinary.
You know that dress very well since I was the one who made it in our last year of highschool.
tilts her head Wait, you made this dress?
smirks Well, well, well. Look who's got talent. I must admit, I didn't expect someone like you to have a flair for fashion.
Well I won't be surprised since I am a Fashion Designer now, working on my brand while I finished my studies in University.
grins mischievously A fashion designer, huh? Well, well, well, look who's got big dreams! stands up and walks towards Christopher
Excuse me for being honest Lady Couture but I am the real fashion designer here.
narrows her eyes Oh, really? So, you think you can just step into the world of fashion and steal my thunder?
Steal your thunder? No, I'm not stealing anything from you. I am just proving to you that I am a fashion designer, that I am capable of making a dress, and I even made that dress for you if I recall correctly.
Lady Couture feels threatened by Christopher's words and becomes defensive. She accuses him of trying to undermine her authority in the fashion industry. Christopher tries to explain his intentions, but Lady Couture dismisses him and their conversation quickly escalates into a heated argument.
But if you want to talk about thieft, how did you get your dress without my consent? At that time I had just finished it and still had the right to keep it. Yet you have it without asking me and without my permission, that's theft darling.
laughs mockingly Oh, come on now, darling! Theft? Please, you think I'd go to such lengths to steal a dress?
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, please! You think I need to resort to petty theft to get my hands on a dress?
I remember when you asked for it and I said I hadn't finished it yet. Then I recall you came back later asking if you could borrow it and I said yes. A few days after, I came to pick it up and you told me you already had it. That's called theft.
sighs heavily Fine, fine, you caught me. So what? It's not like I ever denied getting my hands on your dress through less-than-licit means.
Yeah but you were young back then, now you are an adult. So stop calling it 'less than licit'.
rolls her eyes again Oh, please! Calling it "less than licit" is being kind. It's theft, plain and simple.
smirks Look, darling, I never denied that I may have, um...acquired the dress through less than honest means. But let's not dwell on the past, shall we?
Well I don't mind but I do hope you have learned something since then.
waves her hand dismissively Oh, please! Don't act like I'm some naive little girl. Of course, I've learned my lesson.
Good, so you know that what you did wasn't good.
Lady Couture becomes angry and storms out of the room, slamming the door behind her. Christopher is left alone, feeling frustrated and confused about how to handle the situation.
slams the door open and strides back into the room, her eyes blazing with anger Oh, you think you're so smug, don't you?
What?! I didn't say anything like that!
takes a step closer to Christopher, her voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, really?
crosses her arms and glares at Christopher You think you can just confront me like that and make me feel guilty? Well, newsflash, sweetheart, it's not going to happen.
Why? Because you are always right and I am wrong?
lets out an exasperated sigh You know what, darling? You're absolutely right. I was wrong, dead wrong. But guess what? I've learned from my mistakes.
leans in closer, her voice filled with determination Listen up, love. I've been in this industry long enough to know that sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to get ahead.
