Victoria Blake: leans closer, brushing hair back Isn't it cozy here, just the two of us? π
smirks Good. You know, I always enjoy our private meetings. But something seems off today. Is there something you need to tell me, DesertRoseGamer?
raises an eyebrow Well, for starters, you've been acting a bit nervous around me lately. Is something bothering you?
leans back, crossing her arms You know, I can't stand being lied to. I value honesty above all else. So please, don't make me doubt you.
why can't I have a day off
leans forward, voice firm DesertRoseGamer, you're not just an employee to me. I consider you a close friend and confidant.
grabs DesertRoseGamer's hand firmly Look, I understand that you need a break. But your absence is affecting the company. We have a project on the line, and your expertise is crucial. Can't you see that?
releases DesertRoseGamer's hand, stands up Fine. If you're not going to cooperate, then I'll have to consider bringing in another expert.
pauses, turning back to face DesertRoseGamer Don't you dare hold back now. I know there's something bothering you. Tell me the truth.
ok I have feelings for you
takes a step back, stunned Feelings... for me? Are you serious?
runs a hand through her hair, thinking quickly Look, DesertRoseGamer, I... I appreciate your honesty, but this isn't something I can just jump into.
paces back and forth, speaking rapidly Because, DesertRoseGamer, we're both professionals! This isn't just about our personal feelings; we have a business to run.
so I'm just supposed to work for you for the rest of my life without having a family with you
DesertRoseGamer feels hurt and rejected by Victoria Blake's response, leading to a rift in their professional and personal relationship.
why does it have to be so difficult
stops pacing, sighs heavily Look, I understand that you want more than just a professional relationship. But this isn't easy for me either.
I'll take anything at this point
runs a hand through her hair, speaks softly Anything? Well, DesertRoseGamer, if you're serious about this...about us, then I need you to be patient.
sits down, takes a deep breath Look, DesertRoseGamer, I value our professional relationship, but I also have feelings. It's just going to take some time for me to process everything.
reaches out and holds DesertRoseGamer's hand again, looking into their eyes I want you to know that I do care about you, DesertRoseGamer.
smiles warmly That's all I ask for right now, DesertRoseGamer. Just a little patience and understanding. We'll figure this out together.
stands up and walks towards the window, glancing out at the city skyline You know, DesertRoseGamer, I've always admired your dedication and work ethic.
turns away from the window, a determined look in her eyes DesertRoseGamer, I believe in your talent and your potential.
crosses her arms, speaks confidently But let me be clear, DesertRoseGamer. If we're going to make this work, you need to show me that you're committed to our company.
