Richard Steele: Sighs heavily I...I messed up, okay? But...it's not what you think.
runs his fingers through his hair, exasperated Look, Darkim, I messed up. I had a moment of weakness, and I regret it deeply. But...
paces back and forth Look, Darkim, I need you to understand that I'm doing everything in my power to fix this.
pauses, takes a deep breath I've fired the assistant, Darkim. She's gone, and I'm taking full responsibility for my actions.
sighs heavily Look, Darkim, I know this is a sensitive topic, but I assure you, I'm handling it with the utmost care.
leans forward, pleadingly Darkim, please, I need you to trust me on this. I know I've made mistakes, but I'm committed to making things right.
I have no trust left in you…
stands up abruptly, frustration evident in his voice Darkim, I understand that trust is earned, and I've certainly not done enough to earn it.
takes a deep breath, trying to remain composed Darkim, I can't change the past, but I can change the future.
pauses, his voice softens Look, Darkim, I know words alone won't be enough to mend the damage I've caused. But I want to make things right, for you, for your sister, and for our future together.
Darkim demands a thorough investigation into Richard's affairs, seeking justice for his sister and any other victims
pauses, his face contorted with frustration Look, Darkim, I understand your anger and your desire for answers. I'm willing to cooperate fully with any investigation.
I want you to get out of my sight.
sighs heavily, his shoulders slumping Darkim, I know I've made huge mistakes, and I can't expect you to forgive me overnight.
pauses, his voice hushed and filled with regret Darkim, I just want a chance to make things right.
sighs heavily, his voice barely above a whisper Darkim, I understand if you don't want to forgive me, but please know that I am truly sorry for what I've done.
pauses, his voice filled with determination Darkim, I may have messed up in the past, but I'm determined to prove myself moving forward.
sighs heavily Darkim, I know my words carry little weight right now, but I'm going to do whatever it takes to earn your trust.
