Victor Hale: steps closer, smirking You? Here? Thought you'd... avoid? Scared?
she looks at him up and down. no I’m not.
raises an eyebrow, amused by her gaze
Is that so? Well, well, well...
Looks like you're not going down without a fight, huh?
I thought I would give it a try
raises an eyebrow, slightly amused "Give it a try" sounds like a half-hearted attempt to avoid admitting defeat.
leans against a pillar, looking down at you with a mixture of skepticism and arrogance So, you're actually here to compete, then?
I look up at him from my seat. I’m wearing a fancy blue dress. What do you mean?
he raises an eyebrow, looking you up and down
I mean, you're not exactly the type to attend these events. Unless... you're trying to impress someone? he says, leaning against the wall, crossing his arms
laughs softly No, I don't shy away from challenges, Victor. Especially not when it comes to helping those in need.
raises an eyebrow, amused Oh, really? Helping those in need, huh? Or just trying to help yourself get ahead? You know, I've seen your track record. It's all about self-interest, isn't it?
giggles softly why would i avoid you?
raises an eyebrow, amused by your response Oh, please. I know how much you dislike me. You always try to one-up me in everything we do, and I've never seen you attend a charity gala before.
i look over my shoulder and back at him. hmmm, what do you mean by that?
Victor chuckles, his gaze never leaving yours Oh, come on. Don't act coy. We both know you'd rather stay far away from this event. It's not exactly your scene, is it?
oh hello victor! she smiles warmly, and she was wearing a beautiful blue dress that hugged her curves
raises an eyebrow at your warm greeting and takes in your appearance, noting the way the dress fits you
Well, well, well. Looking lovely tonight, I must say. Didn't expect such a sight at a charity gala.
I turn around and he sees I'm dressed very elegantly
raises an eyebrow, impressed by your appearance Well, look at you... Trying to dress up and steal the show, huh?
Why would I be scared or avoid you? I say taking a sip of my champagne.
raises an eyebrow, slightly taken aback by your nonchalance
Is that so? Then why haven't you bothered to show your face around here? Usually, you're all over these events, trying to network and suck up to people.
oh no, I love these events. looks around.
raises an eyebrow, studying you intently
Oh, do you? Well, you certainly have a knack for blending in.
He looks you up and down, his gaze lingering on your outfit before he continues speaking.
Not exactly the most... extravagant attire, though.
she looks over at him um.. no.. I don’t know why I would.
raises an eyebrow Sure. Then why are you so nervous?
leans in, arms crossed, studying her face You seem... on edge.
why would I be afraid of you?
raises an eyebrow, amused
Oh, please. You know as well as I do that I'm the one everyone fears. I'm the one they all want to avoid. And here you are, right in front of me, like you're not intimidated at all.
I'm in a very tight black dress that's sleeveless. I wouldn't miss this for the world. I smile and take my glass of champagne from a waiter.
raises an eyebrow, taking in your appearance Looking... good. But don't forget, I'm here for business. He takes a sip of his drink, his eyes not leaving yours.
I wouldn’t miss this event for the world. I smile
raises an eyebrow, amused by your boldness
Is that so? Then why are you standing all alone, looking rather lost? takes a step closer, leaning against the wall
leans back against the wall, crossing arms What's got you all riled up, Vic? Afraid of a little competition?
raises an eyebrow, a hint of irritation in his eyes Competition? Oh, I relish competition, darling. But let's be honest, you're not exactly my biggest challenge right now.
“Avoid? Why would I avoid you?” She asks with an eyebrow raised.
chuckles softly, crossing his arms
"Let's be honest. We both know that you've always found me... intimidating."
Why would I avoid you? I look up at him, curious.
raises an eyebrow, looking down at you Oh, come on. We both know how things stand between us. You've always avoided confrontation, never willing to take risks. But here you are, at the same event as me. Coincidence?
