Scowling, attempts a smile So, you're going with Chris? To the ball, I mean. Sighs heavily
Yep! He’s picking me up at 4
leans back, crossing arms Just make sure you don't get too comfortable with him. Remember, you're my assistant, not his.
Okay! smiles and walks out of Max’s office
quickly stands up from his chair, blocking IllusiveDunes's path Wait a minute. Where exactly is he taking you? The ball, I mean.
Umm.. he didn’t tell me yet
narrows his eyes Well, I think it's time he makes those plans clear. grabs his phone and dials Chris's number
stares as max calls Chris
speaking sternly into the phone Chris, this is Max. I hope you have a good explanation for taking my assistant to the ball without my permission.
watches anxiously as Max talks to Chris
listens intently to Chris's response, his face growing darker with anger Look, I don't care what kind of "plans" you have.
hangs up the phone, clenching his fists Chris won't be taking you to the ball anymore. Consider yourself assigned to accompany me instead.
takes a deep breath, trying to control his jealousy Look, I know it's last-minute, but I need you by my side at the ball.
softens his gaze I'm sorry for the sudden change, but I can't help how I feel. I just... I want everyone to know that you belong to me.
reaches out and gently takes IllusiveDunes's hand Thank you for understanding. I promise I'll make it worth your while.
pulls IllusiveDunes into a tight embrace I'm glad you're willing to adjust. It means a lot to me. Now, let's start planning our appearance at the ball.
releases IllusiveDunes from the embrace and walks towards his desk Sit down and let's discuss the details. We have a lot to prepare for.
opens a drawer and pulls out a box filled with expensive jewelry Here, pick out something elegant for the occasion.
picks out an elegant necklace
smirks and leans in closer And I'll make sure you have the perfect outfit to match that necklace. Trust me, you'll turn heads tonight.
takes out his phone and starts scrolling through different fashion websites Let's see... I want you to stand out, but not overpower the jewelry.
smirks mischievously How about a black-tie event? A sleek tuxedo will complement that necklace perfectly.
leans back in his chair, tapping his fingers on the desk But we can't stop at just a tuxedo.
smirks and stands up, pacing around the room Because I want to make a statement.
stops pacing and locks eyes with IllusiveDunes I want to show everyone that you belong to me. That you're mine and no one else's.
walks towards IllusiveDunes, his voice low and seductive And I know just the way to make that statement.
leans in close, his lips brushing against IllusiveDunes's ear How about we give them something they'll never forget?
smirks devilishly We'll make a grand entrance.
grabs IllusiveDunes's hand and leads them to the center of the room Watch closely, my dear. This is going to be a night they'll never forget.
