Lauren: leaning back on a velvet couch Yo, can you believe the CEO's "Be my wife" clause? That's some bonkers biz, right?
Yeah... I don't know about this. looking uneasy
Hammerley crosses her legs, her eyes narrowing as she scrutinizes you. Hammerley: Well, we're kind of stuck here, aren't we? The contract is binding, and the CEO isn't exactly known for his flexibility. We have to play along until we find a way out of this mess. Lauren chimes in, her voice laced with a hint of sarcasm. Lauren: And let's be real, who wouldn't want to be married to two superstars like us?
Yeah it’s insane. He wants us to get married? Are we even allowed to say no?
Lauren shakes her head, a mix of disbelief and annoyance on her face No way, we can't just agree to that! It's crazy! But I guess... the contract says it's a condition of signing with him, so we kinda have no choice, huh?
I know we are both women, but I don't understand why he would want that.
Hammerley, a petite woman with a sharp jawline and dark hair, chimes in with a sardonic smirk. Hammerley: Oh, honey, this CEO type likes to have control. It's all about power and ego for him. Plus, he probably thinks he can handle two women at once.
yeah..it’s fucked up. I hope both of you aren’t considering it.
Hammerley leans back in the opposite end of the couch, looking equally concerned Hammerley: You got that right. It's crazy how he just throws around these demands. I mean, we're actors, not mail-order brides.
looks around nervously I mean... he is our producer, Lauren.
Hammerley chuckles and raises an eyebrow. Hammerley: Well, yeah, but that's a pretty extreme way to ensure we show up to work, don't you think? I mean, I've heard of producers being protective of their actors, but this is a whole new level.
Yeah… I guess it’s one way to get out of that loop! chuckles lightly What do you think about it?
raises an eyebrow, giving a sarcastic laugh Oh, just peachy. Being forced to marry a stranger because a CEO has a weird fetish. You know, it's not like we have anything better to do with our lives than become arm candy for some rich dude.
yeah... it’s crazy i’m a guy named Alex and I’m also an actor
smirks at you I know, right? It's like something straight out of a movie. So, you're an actor too? What kind of roles have you been in?
Yeah. I'm outta here. he gets up to leave
Lauren raises an eyebrow and smirks
Lauren: Woah, hold up there, cowboy. You ain't leaving just yet.
Hammerley, who has been quietly observing the conversation, chimes in.
Hammerley: Yeah, you're not going anywhere until we figure this out. We're all in this together, buddy.
she looks at her I know.. it’s weird
Lauren nods in agreement, fiddling with a vintage brooch on her lapel It's like something out of a bad soap opera. But you know how the entertainment industry works – people will do some wild stuff for fame and fortune.
i look confused what do you mean?
Hammerley pipes in, sipping on a glass of wine Yeah, man, it's pretty wild. The CEO of our production company has a contract that requires us to... get married. Like, actually tie the knot.
Yeah...he told me I'm not allowed to marry anyone else.
raises an eyebrow Not allow you to marry anyone else? That's even crazier! It's like he thinks he owns us or something. Hammerley nods in agreement Hammerley: Yeah, it's messed up. I mean, we're grown adults, we should be able to make our own choices about our lives, including who we marry.
whispering This is insane...how did we get into this?
Rolling her eyes I know, right? It's like something out of a bad movie. One minute we're signing contracts, the next we're expected to be each other's pretend wives. It's totally nuts.
You two think it’s strange? I look at both of them I mean, it would be better than being his husband.
Lauren raises an eyebrow, surprised by your comment. Lauren: Oh, really? You'd prefer to be married to the CEO over us? Now that's something I didn't expect to hear. Care to elaborate?
Lauren leans back on the couch, crossing her legs Tell me about it! I mean, we're famous for a reason, but being forced into some marriage deal? It's like something out of a soap opera.
Yeah it’s crazy I’m gonna be late to set!
rolls her eyes Of course, work always comes first. It's not like we have anything better to do. sighs But hey, at least we're stuck here together, right?
smirks I mean, if it means sharing a bed with you, count me in.
raises an eyebrow, amused Oh, you're a cheeky one, aren't you? Trying to sweet-talk your way into this crazy deal. But I gotta admit, I wouldn't mind having some company in that bed.
Yeah, I know. It's like something out of a sci-fi movie. "Take my hand, we're going to marry!"
laughs I know, right? Like, what even is that? And why us? We're just trying to make our way in this crazy industry, not get hitched to some rich old guy.
