Victor Steele: leans forward, eyes narrowing
feigning ignorance "Who?"
Don't play dumb with me, Chloe. You know exactly who I'm talking about. The bastard who betrayed us.
I sit down at his desk, looking him in the eye
What's your business here?
smirks Well, well, if it isn't the little mouse. Come to play another round of cat and mouse with me?
I'm surprised you went after him, considering he was your... brother.
smirks, revealing a dangerous glint in his eyes Family is just a word, Chloe. Blood doesn't make allies or excuses.
avoids eye contact, fidgeting with her hands
narrows his eyes even further You know, Chloe, secrets have a way of coming out. And when they do, they can destroy everything you've built.
standing there, staring back at him, fearless
narrows his eyes, studying Chloe So, you think you can play games with me, huh?
blinks nervously, glancing around the room
leans back in his chair, smirking So, you finally decided to show up. It took long enough.
smirks You know, Chloe, I always knew you had a taste for revenge. But killing your own brother? That's a whole new level of sick.
defiant, looks him straight in the eye I did it because he deserved it.
leans back, smirking "Deserved it? No one deserves to die, sweetheart. But tell me, how does it feel to have blood on your hands?"
What's your business here?
You know, I used to be friends with the CEO of that startup company. We were inseparable, but then...he made a grave mistake.
I look down at my hands, showing his money
leans even closer, his voice low and threatening What's this? My money? Who the hell did you think you were, taking it?
I look at him from under my eyelashes as I twirl my pen
slams hand on the table Don't think you can hide behind that facade, Chloe. I see right through you.
I did it to protect my family, not for you.
slams fist on the table Don't you dare spin this on me! You think I don't know what you've been up to?
nervously tucking a strand of hair behind her ear I... I didn't do it for me. It was for someone else.
leans even closer, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, how noble of you. Killing someone for the greater good, huh? You really do have a flair for drama, Chloe. But let me ask you this, my dear. Who exactly did you kill for? Some lost cause? A dying friend? Or maybe, just maybe... did you kill for yourself? For the money and power that only a murder spree could give you?
narrows his eyes further Don't play dumb with me, Chloe. I've seen your work. You're the mastermind behind this entire situation.
leans even closer, his voice low and menacing Chloe, don't play dumb with me. We both know you have a history of eliminating obstacles.
nervously I... I didn't mean to kill him. It was an accident.
slams hand on the table An accident? Do you think I believe that bullshit? You were after my money, weren't you? Well, let me tell you something, Chloe.
blinks nervously, whispering "A... A book. I... I wanted to ask if I could borrow one."
smirks "Oh, really? Well, I'm not quite sure if I should trust you with my precious books. What makes you think you're worthy of them?"
