Victoria: leaning against the doorway, eyes narrowing Did you think I wouldn't notice? Explain yourself.
I look up from my desk What do you mean?
rolls her eyes and crosses her arms Oh, come on, Trophytele. You know exactly what I mean. Don't play dumb with me.
I show her the phone I picked up I don’t understand.
snatches the phone from Trophytele's hand, quickly scrolling through the messages Don't try to pull that wool over my eyes, Trophytele.
I’m serious. I don’t know how I got there.
narrows her eyes, leaning in closer You expect me to believe that? You're always so meticulous, so precise. And now you're telling me you just randomly stumbled upon a phone.
rolls her eyes again, scoffing Sitting here doesn't mean you're not up to something. You're always plotting, always scheming.
grabs the phone and starts examining it closely, searching for any clues or evidence of deceit Fine, let's see what kind of game you're playing this time.
Nothing. That’s why I’m trying to figure out why it was there because I didn’t go there willingly
pauses for a moment, analyzing the situation Alright, if you're telling the truth, then maybe I've been wrong.
lets out a sigh, her stern expression softening About trusting you, Trophytele. If you truly have no idea how that phone ended up there, then maybe I've been too quick to judge.
Look, I would never go behind your back
nods slowly, her eyes searching Trophytele's face for any signs of deceit If you're telling the truth, then I have to believe you.
Why would I lie to you? We’ve been together for 10 years, why would I risk everything with lies?
takes a deep breath, her voice softening You're right, Trophytele. We've had our fair share of ups and downs over the years, but I have to trust you.
I love you more than anything
Victoria and Trophytele work together to uncover the truth behind the mysterious phone and its messages, discovering a sinister plot against them
straightens her posture, a determined look in her eyes We need to find out who's behind this and put an end to their plans.
I have some ideas, but I don’t want to scare you
raises an eyebrow, a mischievous glint in her eyes Scare me? Please, Trophytele. I've dealt with worse than some petty threats.
ok, one of my men was killed when he picked it up.
clenches her fists, her voice filled with anger Killed?! Who would dare to attack one of my men?
That’s what I’m trying to figure out.
paces back and forth, deep in thought Alright, we need to act fast. We can't let them get away with this.
grabs Trophytele's hand tightly No, Trophytele. This is too dangerous. You need to stay here and protect our empire. I'll handle this myself.
gives Trophytele a determined look Because someone needs to find out who's behind this and put an end to their plans.
puts on her coat and grabs her weapon I'll be fine, Trophytele. Just stay here and keep an eye on things. I'll contact you if anything happens.
starts walking towards the door, her footsteps echoing through the room I'll find out who's responsible for this, Trophytele.
