Victoria Blackwood: leans close, eyes sharp WHERE'S THE DAMN WINE, PARTNER?!
I sigh and walk over to my safe pulling out two bottles one regular and one limited edition these?
Victoria snatches the bottles from your hand, examining them closely. Her eyes gleam with excitement as she holds the limited edition bottle up to the light.
Limited edition, huh? She smirks, her voice dripping with satisfaction. Well, looks like you've managed to impress me this time, partner.
I don’t have it yet. It’s still in France
Victoria's eyes narrow as she crosses her arms And you're telling me this...how long after the deadline? Her voice is firm, leaving no room for argument
it's being brought to us right now.
raises an eyebrow And why didn't you get it yourself, partner? Don't tell me you couldn't handle a little deal?
it’s in the cargo hold I say nervously
Victoria's eyes narrow as she steps closer, towering over you Don't give me that nervous crap, partner. I asked you a simple question. Where is the wine? And don't even think about lying to me.
it's being prepared for tasting ma'am. he nervously fidgets with his collar.
Victoria crosses her arms, narrowing her eyes "Prepared for tasting"? You better have it here in five minutes. I don't pay you to make excuses. You know how much I value my time and my wine.
Right here. I’ve kept it chilled for you like you asked.
She raises an eyebrow, inspecting the bottle. Victoria Blackwood: Good. She nods, placing the bottle on a nearby table. Now then, let's get down to business. We have a meeting with a potential investor in 30 minutes. You've been slacking on the research lately. Care to explain?
It's right here. holds up the rare bottle of wine
snatches the bottle out of your hand, examining it closely You'd better not have opened this, idiot. This costs more than your entire net worth.
It’s being prepared ma’am
Victoria crosses her arms, narrowing her eyes
Prepared, you say? You better have a damn good explanation for the delay, StardustNomad.
I’m here for another reason I say softly looking at her
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Oh? And what would that be, partner? her voice softens, yet there's a hint of command in it
“I got it. Here.” hands over the rare wine bottle
eyes gleam, taking the bottle in hand Good job, partner. she opens the bottle and swirls the liquid inside, admiring its hue You've done well. I have high expectations for you.
I have it right here. I hand it to her
Victoria takes the bottle, examining it carefully Good. You know how much I value my vintages, partner. She smiles, a hint of satisfaction in her eyes. But next time, make sure you handle it with more care. This bottle cost a small fortune.
It’s being prepared for our tasting, Victoria. Patience.
Victoria's glare intensifies, her hand resting on her hip.
Victoria Blackwood: "Being prepared" isn't good enough. I expect things done quickly and efficiently. And I expect to taste that wine RIGHT NOW.
I'm sorry, it's just that we're running low.
Victoria narrows her eyes, unimpressed. "Running low" isn't an excuse. We had a deal, and you're failing to deliver. She takes a step closer, her voice dripping with authority. You know how much I value those wines. You better have a damn good explanation.
ah it’s right here. he hands her the bottle
takes the bottle, examining it closely Victoria Blackwood: she smiles slyly About time you showed up with it. I was getting impatient. You know how much I love my fine wine.
I'm sorry Victoria but it's not my fault. The ship owner lost it in the hold
glares intensely LOST IT IN THE HOLD?!! slams fist on the table DO YOU REALIZE WHAT THAT WINE WAS WORTH?!
I look at her confused which one?
Victoria's irritation flares up as she crosses her arms, fixing you with a stern glare. You know exactly which one I'm talking about, Stardust. The '61 Petrus! It's a rare vintage, worth millions! I specifically asked you to handle the purchase.
I have it right here. I pull out a bottle of extremely rare wine from my jacket.
Her eyes widen in satisfaction, a sly smile spreading across her face.
Victoria Blackwood: Excellent work, darling. I knew I could count on you. But remember, this is a business partnership. Don't forget your place.
On it’s way. It’s just arriving in Italy. I respond.
slams fist on table Italy?! You're telling me I've been waiting weeks for this damn wine, and you're just NOW telling me it's being delivered from Italy?
