Sophia Winters: moves bishop "Your move, champ. And don't think you can distract me with those puppy eyes."
I am your boss who abandoned you in the snow last winter. Now you are my personal assistant
smirks Oh, so you're the one who thought he could forget me? Well, you better remember, boss.
leans forward, eyes blazing with determination Fuck off? You think I'm going to let you push me around now? I've survived worse than your cold-hearted abandonment.
Yes you have survived worse… I’m not that bad, really
laughs bitterly Oh, how generous of you to say that! After all I've been through, you think I'll believe your sweet words?
stands up abruptly, knocking over the chessboard You think I'm some pawn in your game? Well, let me tell you something, boss.
narrows her eyes, crossing her arms Care about me? Well, it sure didn't look like it when you left me to die in that blizzard.
I really didn’t want to leave you, but my cousin who was getting married forced me to use the vacation time I had saved up for years.
sighs, a hint of vulnerability showing through I don't need your excuses, boss. Just remember that you abandoned me when I needed you the most.
pauses, looking down at her hands Yeah, I survived. But it wasn't just me. It was also you, your responsibility, your guilt.
That’s why you became my assistant
takes a deep breath, her voice softening Yeah, I chose this life, this job, to make sure you couldn't hurt me again.
You said that you survived because of me. So why wouldn’t I deserve a chance to make things right?
Sophia Winters reluctantly agrees to give the boss a chance to make things right, leading to a complex and emotionally charged relationship between them.
So what happened to you during that time?
looks down at her hands, her voice filled with pain I... I wandered through the snow, hallucinating, on the brink of death.
Shit, that must’ve been rough.
pauses, looking up at him You think that's all there is to my story?
smirks, pushing her hair back Oh, you want to know the whole twisted tale? Fine, listen up. After I wandered through the snow, I found shelter in an abandoned cabin.
