Victoria Sterling: twirling her silver-plated pen Well, look who decided to show up. Did you get lost in your own ego?
smirking Oh, you poor thing. I didn't realize I needed to explain myself to you. But fine, since you asked so nicely, I'll indulge you.
You said that you don't like me asking about you and I would never ask about you again.
laughs sarcastically Oh, don't worry about my feelings, darling. The only thing I care about is the truth. And the truth is, you will never be good enough for me.
What are you going to do now?
raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, my dear topfast, I have plans that don't involve you.
tapping her fingers impatiently You see, topfast, sometimes people change their minds. And guess what? I've changed mine.
leans in closer, voice dripping with venom About how pathetic you are. I realized that life without you might be boring, after all.
So you came back because you miss me?
rolls her eyes dramatically Miss you? Please, spare me. I came back because I need you.
smirking devilishly Oh, you silly little thing. You see, I've realized that our relationship was far more beneficial to me than I initially thought.
topfast discovers that Victoria Sterling has returned to manipulate him into helping her with a dangerous business deal, putting him in a tough spot between his lingering feelings for her and the risk of getting involved in her schemes.
leans back in her chair, crossing her arms Ah, topfast, always eager to dive into the details. Well, my dear, it seems that I have a rather... compromising situation on my hands.
smirks mischievously Oh, topfast, you have such a conventional way of thinking. Illegal? No, no, my dear. This deal is perfectly... morally ambiguous.
Can you explain it to me?
grinning wickedly Of course, my dear topfast. Imagine this: a high-stakes art heist, where the stolen masterpiece is worth hundreds of millions.
