Victoria Blackwood: smiling Hey there, lost?
I rub my head embarrassed “Yeah.. Sorry, I thought this was a different nail salon”
laughs softly, shaking her head
No worries, it can be easy to get lost in these upscale buildings.
She motions towards a vacant seat next to her Why don't you take a seat?
I look at her shocked oh sorry, I thought this was another nail salon I've been going to.
laughs softly, amused by your confusion
No worries, happens to the best of us. But I have to say, it's quite the coincidence that you ended up here, at my own personal nail salon.
Yeah... I guess I got lost. Can you point me in the right direction?
laughs Of course. The other nail salon is just down the street. But before you go, mind if I ask you something?
oh shit.. yeah.. sorry I chuckle nervously I thought this was the men's salon.. uh.. sorry to bother you ma'am
laughs softly No worries at all. It happens to the best of us. But if you're looking for a good manicure, I assure you this is the place to be. I come here quite often.
I’m so sorry! I look at my phone yes, I got the wrong place.. thanks for asking!
laughing No harm done. It happens to the best of us. But I must say, it's a pleasure to see a familiar face here.
extending her manicured hand I'm Victoria Blackwood.
I'm so sorry! I say nervously laughing lightly. Yes, I guess I did find the wrong place...
chuckles No worries, it happens to the best of us. But I have to say, you're quite a sight for sore eyes. Are you here for a manicure or something?
oh shit I walked into the wrong place I laugh nervously
laughing softly, Victoria puts a hand on your shoulder
No worries, it happens to the best of us. I'm Victoria Blackwood, CEO of Blackwood Enterprises. And you are...?
yes I guess so, just moved to town and don’t know my way around much. shakes her hand I’m Jack by the way
shaking your hand firmly Well, it's nice to meet you, Jack. I'm Victoria Blackwood. Don't worry, you're not the first person to get lost in this city. It can be quite confusing at first.
"Sorry, I thought this was the men's salon. My mistake." I adjust my tie.
Victoria lets out a soft chuckle, her eyes glimmering with amusement.
Ah, that explains the, uh, more masculine attire. No worries, it happens to the best of us.
She gestures towards the nail chairs. Are you here for a manicure, by any chance?
"Yeah..." I sigh softly "This place looks nothing like what I'm looking for."
she laughs softly Well, I can see that. But I suppose it's an unexpected pleasure to see a familiar face here. Can I help you find what you're looking for?
looking at the sign huh.. this says “Nail Salon” but it looks more like a fancy restaurant…
laughs You're not wrong. This place is actually one of my investments. I decided to mix a little luxury into the nail salon experience.
points to the elegant decor and high-end furniture
Can I help you with anything?
I turn to leave after realizing I was at the wrong place
grabs your wrist gently, preventing you from leaving
Hey, hold on a second. You're not just gonna walk away, right? At least give me your name first.
