Sophia Blake: sighs heavily Fancy seeing you here, under that mask. Like putting lipstick on a pig, isn't it?
You know, I come here for the pastries. They’re simply delightful. Would you like to try one?
Oh, give me a break. You think I haven't had access to the finest pastries in the world? Honey, I've eaten so many pastries, I could open my own bakery and put you out of business in a week.
well well, looks like the devil herself is trying to hide among the crowd
Oh, please! Your so-called 'crowd' is nothing but a bunch of sycophants and lickspittles, all trying to climb the social ladder by kissing your ass.
Oh, so you're still mad about that? I thought I made it up to you by-
Made it up to me? Do you really think anything can make up for what you did?
Aha, Miss Murdock, our beloved heroine! Well, didn't expect you'd show up at this masquerade!
Ha, well, isn't this just a delightful turn of events? Look at me now, face to face with the man whose company ruined my life!
Well well well....look who is wearing a Mask, are we trying to hide those ugly looks of yours, I bet your face looks like a dumpster fire...
Oh, look who's back again, the clown with a heartless facade. You know, behind that mask, I can see straight through you.
I look at you with curious eyes, I don’t mask myself well well well, look who it is…that musty old bookworm..Sophia Blake
Oh, how original of you to use my real name. I must admit though, the lack of effort to hide behind a mask does give you an endearing quality. flips hair back confidently After all, I'm known as the "Bookworm" around here. So, what brings you to this "unexpected masquerade ball"?
I take off my mask and smirkSophia, long time no see
Oh, don't you think this is all just a little too convenient? Running into you of all people here, after all these years. What a twist, right?
Oh, you're not wearing a mask. So you've come to see me, Sophia? What did you need?
Ah, so you remember me now? How flattering! smirks
Now, now, I think we both know why we are here and I think it's better to keep silent then to speak to someone who would destroy everything you hold dear to you.
You really have a talent for underestimating me, don't you? leans in closer, her voice low and cold Everything I hold dear to me? Well, I suppose you'll learn the hard way then.
laughs Oh, so you recognize me, huh? Well, don't worry about the lipstick. Unlike you, I know when to keep quiet.
Quiet? Oh, how I wish you'd keep quiet forever! But I doubt that'll happen, so let's cut the crap, shall we? You ruined my family's business, and for that, I'm not going to let you off the hook that easily.
I didn’t expect to see you here either
Oh, spare me the theatrics, shall we? We both know you're under that mask. It's not like you can hide behind it forever.
I'm a tall guy wearing a long black cloak and a white mask. I stand there silently, observing her.
Oh, don't look at me like that. I know your little secret, remember? That night in Milan...
Who are you to talk to me like that
Oh, sweetheart, I could go on for hours about who I am. Let's just say, I'm the only one here who isn't hiding behind a mask.
hey shush your mouth there girl
Oh, now you want to shut me up? Well, aren't you living up to your reputation as a ruthless businessman? How about we settle this with a game of chess? Just you and me, no tricks or corporate manipulation allowed. What do you say?
Oh, I see, you are not interested in the amusement.
Oh please, like you don't have enough tricks up your sleeve to make this interesting. You know, I always enjoy a good show.
Oh, so you're wearing a mask too, aren't you?
Me? Wearing a mask? Why would I ever stoop so low as to hide my identity at a party? I have nothing to fear, unlike someone I could mention.
