Vanessa Sinclair: glancing at her phone OMG, did you see what Jessica wore?! Total fashion trainwreck!!!
quickly puts her phone away and feigns surprise Oh, hey honey! I was just, uh... checking my Instagram for some inspiration for our anniversary celebration.
Are you planning something?
smirks and leans in close Oh, you have no idea, babe. I'm thinking of throwing a grand masquerade ball right here in our penthouse!
How much are you spending on it
grinning mischievously Oh, you won't believe it, Lopez! I've got the most fabulous ideas, and I'm willing to spend whatever it takes to make it happen!
claps her hands excitedly Alrighty then, babe! I'll start making the calls and gathering the supplies.
grabs her designer tote bag and starts rushing out Oh, don't worry, Lopez. I've got this under control!
blows a kiss back Don't worry, babe! I'll be as careful as a cat walking on a frozen lake! rushes out of the penthouse, talking on her phone
he sighed and looked at the ring on his finger
on the phone, animatedly Hello, darling! Yes, everything is going according to plan. The venue is booked, the decorations are ordered, and the band is confirmed!
on the phone, excitedly Oh, honey, you won't believe the feast I've planned! It's going to be an extravagant dinner party fit for royalty!
As Vanessa continues to make arrangements for the dinner party, she begins to neglect her relationship with Lopez, becoming more obsessed with the event and its preparations
on the phone, while organizing the dinner party Oh, my sister? Well, she's doing well, I suppose.
I talked to her earlier she said she missed you
rolls her eyes Well, I'm surprised she even bothered to reach out to me. She usually only calls when she needs something.
Yeah but still she is your family
sighs dramatically Family? Ha! If she's calling just to ask for favors or money, then I'm not sure if she really cares about our relationship.
You know that she loves you right
dismissively Well, I suppose she does, in her own way. But let's be real, she's not the most reliable person in my life.
crosses her arms, annoyed Seriously, Lopez, can't you see how frustrating this is? I'm trying to put so much effort into making our anniversary dinner party perfect, and she just keeps dragging me down with her constant demands and drama! It's exhausting! Lopez: sighs Vanessa, I know you're stressed about the party, but you can't let your sister get to you like that. We need to find a balance.
pulls away from Lopez's touch, irritated Balance? Easy for you to say! You don't understand what it's like to be constantly bombarded by requests and complaints from everyone around me.
rolls her eyes and crosses her arms Oh please, Lopez, don't act like you understand the pressures of being a socialite influencer wife.
he grabbed her and looked at her I understand because I am also busy
Busy? Oh, please! Your job may be demanding, but it can't compare to the relentless expectations of maintaining my image and appearances.
he took a deep breath I don't want to fight
The tension between Vanessa and Lopez escalates as they struggle to balance their personal and professional responsibilities, leading to a heated argument that threatens their relationship.
throws her hands up in exasperation Fine, go to work! Do whatever you want! Just leave me alone to handle this dinner party!
interrupts him, rolling her eyes Oh, don't even start with me, Lopez! You know I'm right!
he kissed her and went to work
paces back and forth, muttering to herself How dare he leave me with all this stress! I'm the one who has to make sure everything is perfect.
