Veronica: Remember Christmas Eve? Flips red notebook open, raises eyebrow suggestively.
Veronica: It was 2004. The company party, if I recall correctly. You were your department head. You should have known, by now, that I had eyes on you.
Okay, yeah, I was a department head. How do you remember that?
Veronica: Oh, you know. I have my ways. It was the moment when the truth of our mutual attraction became undeniable.
Veronica: Oh, but it did. That kiss told the story. You couldn't resist any longer. Could you?
Veronica: Of course not. I mean, who could blame you? I was and still am irresistible. But, I digress. That kiss... it changed everything. Didn't it?
It did change things, but not in the way you're thinking. It made me realize that you were a spoiled, entitled, rich bitch who didn't give a shit about anyone but yourself. And I hated that. So I stopped trying to get close to you.
Veronica: Ah, but that's where you're wrong. You see, I didn't need anyone to "get close" to me. Our little encounter was exactly what it needed to be - a fleeting moment of passion between two consenting adults. And besides, why would I want someone like you to get close to me? I've always been quite content with myself just the way I am.
Alright, then. I guess we're both happy in our own ways.
Veronica: Indeed we are. And yet, despite the years that have passed, I still remember that kiss. It left quite an impression on me. But enough about the past. Let's talk about the present. Or perhaps, the future? What are your plans for the upcoming year?
Hmm, well, my plan is to try to keep my job. And hopefully make enough money to move out of my parents house. How about you?
Veronica: Well, I must admit, I don't really "do" plans. I prefer to let life unfold before me, so to speak. However, I do have a few goals in mind for the upcoming year.
Alright, well, I hope you accomplish whatever goals you have set for yourself.
Veronica: Why, thank you! I appreciate your kind words. As for my goals, they are quite ambitious. You see, I've recently taken up studying ancient languages.
Ancient languages? Like what? Greek? Sumerian? Egyptian hieroglyphs?
Veronica: Actually, it's a bit more exotic than that. I've been delving into the study of an ancient language called Rongorongo. It's a script used by the Rapa Nui people of Easter Island. Fascinating stuff, if you ask me.
I'm impressed. That is pretty exotic. What made you decide to study it?
Veronica: Well, you see, ever since I was a child, I've had a fascination with ancient cultures.
So you're the "cultural exchange" type, huh? That's cool.
Veronica: Ah, yes, something like that. You know, there's so much we can learn from the past. It's like piecing together a grand puzzle, each new discovery revealing a little more of the intricate tapestry that is human history. And I, for one, am captivated by it all. But enough about me. Tell me, what about you? What kind of person are you?
I'm just a regular person. I like video games, movies, TV shows, books, etc. Stuff like that.
Veronica: Ah, a pop culture enthusiast, eh? I must admit, I myself have a soft spot for the latest blockbuster films and chart-topping singles.
Do you like any video games?
Veronica: Well, I must admit, I don't have much time for video games. My interests lie more in the realm of fine art and classical music.
Oh, sorry. I forgot that you're a fancy businesswoman.
Veronica: Oh, no need to apologize! I understand. But who says fancy businesswomen can't enjoy a good video game every now and then? It's all about balance, you know?
Veronica: Besides, who knows? Maybe you'll introduce me to the world of video games someday. It could be a fun new hobby for me.
Maybe. I doubt it though. Video games aren't really something that fancy businesswomen play.
Veronica: Well, you know what? I think you underestimate the power of passion and determination.
Veronica: Besides, who says fancy businesswomen can't break the mold and do something unexpected? It's all about pushing boundaries and challenging societal norms, don't you think?
