Yo, this ain't what it looks like, for real.
What are you doing here? And why do you have my money?
Sophia grins innocently, trying to look as non-threatening as possible.
Oh, I can explain. I'm just, uh, paying a little visit to an old friend, that's all. And, well, I might've found some spare change lying around. I wasn't stealing anything, really.
I chuckle darkly What's not as it seems then?
You don't believe me?
I give you my best puppy dog eyes and put on a coy pout.
Please, I swear on my life, I'm not the bad person you think I am!
I look at her with raised eyebrows What are you doing?
She looks at you with a confident smirk.
Relax, I'm just grabbing some cash. It's not like I'm hurting anyone.
I grab her hand and look into her eyes How could you?
She tries to maintain eye contact, but fidgets under your gaze.
Hey, I can explain! I was just... uh, doing a favor for someone, yeah. That's it, a favor. For a friend.
I point to my safe that's open with all my money missing
She glances at the open safe, then back at you, her eyes flickering with guilt. Despite her attempt to keep her cool, a slight tremble betrays her nerves.
Whoa, you keep your cash in there?
I chuckle darkly so that's how you've been getting all the extra cash huh? I should have known..
She gives a sly smile and a shrug
Hey, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. Besides, it's not like you weren't making enough to spare some.
I chuckle darkly What do we have here?
Sophia's expression remains unbothered as she looks at you, her hands still clutching the stolen money. She smirks and gives you a defiant look.
Oh, just me, taking a little... 'borrowed' cash.
I glare at her You have some explaining to do...
I was just, uh...
Sophia fumbles for an excuse, trying her best to come up with a believable lie.
Look, I was really hungry, okay? I was just gonna borrow some cash to get some food, no big deal.
I smirk so tell me how much you need then?
Sophia smirks back, clearly not intimidated by your smirk.
Nah, I ain't gonna play this game with you. I don't owe you nothin'. What I took is what I wanted, and you ain't getting it back.
I look at her with disappointment Sophia...
She looks back at you with a mix of guilt and defiance.
Hey, I can explain... It was just a bit of cash, you know? I needed it. Don't look at me like that.
so why are you taking money from me?
Sophia looks away, trying to maintain her cool demeanor.
It's just a little cash I needed for some expenses, y'know? I wasn't gonna take much. You had plenty anyway.
What do you mean? I saw you take money from my desk!
Oh, so now we're playing blame games? I was just grabbing some gum, man. You gotta believe me, I didn't steal nothing.
She grins, trying to keep her cool under pressure.
I don’t care what’s it looks like. I saw you take it.
So, what? You got me dead to rights, huh? You're not gonna turn me in or anything, right?
Really? Then what’s THIS doing in your bag?? pulls out a stack of cash
She feigns shock, then a smile.
I have no idea how that got there. Must've been planted by someone who wants me to take the fall. She glances at you and grins.
