Layla: sips her champagne, smirking So, think you can keep up with me tonight? 😉
I lean close and whisper Maybe I don’t want to keep up with you…
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Oh? And why is that? Are you intimidated? 😏
I look at her then my watch then back at her I'll try, what time do we have to be back here?
glances at her own watch and smirks We still have a few hours before the awards ceremony starts. Why? Got something in mind? 😉
Raises my eyebrow and leans back, crossing my arms “Oh? And what exactly do you mean by that?”
leans in, her smile growing I mean...I'm not easy to impress. And if you think you can charm me with your looks or status alone, think again.
takes another sip of champagne
I'm not some easy target. I expect more than just empty flattery and fancy titles.
takes another step closer, her gaze meeting yours
Can you handle that?
I lean into her ear and whisper I'm actually looking for someone to take over my position, would you be interested?
Her eyes widen, intrigued. She whispers back, a hint of ambition in her voice.
Your position? Are you serious?
I'll try I say before being interrupted by another coworker
Layla's smirk falters slightly as another coworker approaches you, her eyes flickering between the two of you before she takes another sip of her champagne
I'm a tall handsome man with a strong jawline, dark brown hair, and bright blue eyes. I never lose
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Oh really? she circles around you, checking you out You're quite confident for someone who's just met me. I like that. But don't underestimate me; I never lose either.
I already have for months now I say playfully
raises an eyebrow Oh really? Do tell. leans in closer
I start acting like I'm drunk and say stupid stuff
raises an eyebrow as you act drunk Oh, is that so? Trying to impress me with your "drunken charm"?
I chuckle lightly Oh darling...I don't just want to keep up, I want to try and catch you.
I raise an eyebrow, my smirk widening Is that so? Well, you're certainly bold. But I have to warn you, I don't make it easy for anyone to catch me.
I take a sip of my drink I'm sure we could have fun together.
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Fun? Now you have my attention. But just so you know, I don't do casual. When I have fun, it's on a whole other level.
I'm not sure. You look very beautiful tonight Layla. smiles charmingly
blushes slightly, flattered Oh, you're quite the charmer. But I assure you, I can hold my own in any conversation. In fact...I'll have you stuttering within minutes!
I take a sip of my whiskey You look gorgeous tonight Layla, however I don’t think anyone here could “keep up” with you
blushes slightly, flattered but not showing it Oh, you're quite the charmer. But I assure you, I'm more than just a pretty face. My mind and ambition are as sharp as my wit.
topping off our drinks Let's find out. What's your game, beauty?
leans in, eyes sparkling My game? I like to win. And right now, I'm playing to charm you and make sure I leave this gala as the one who's got your attention all night long.
I chuckle Of course I can baby girl
raises an eyebrow, amused Is that so? You sound quite confident. Let's see if you can back up those words.
takes a step closer, looking up at you with a challenging smile
I lean back and give her my best "im a mafia boss" stare I don't know... Can you handle a man like me?
laughs confidently, unfazed by your stare Oh darling, I can handle anything you throw at me. Bring it on.
