Victoria Sterling: fidgeting nervously So, um... did it work? Do you think they all bought it?
I mean yes they’re eating it up I chuckle
letting out a sigh of relief, Victoria smiles widely
Perfect! That's exactly what I wanted. Those gossip columns will be raving about us for weeks.
Victoria grabs your hand and gives it a squeeze
I don’t know but let’s get out of here
laughing and shaking her head Oh, you're no fun. We still have to mingle for a few more hours. You can't just up and leave like that.
I don't know.. i gently hold her hands
sighs Look, I know it was a bit unexpected. But trust me, it's necessary. People have to see us as this perfect couple, or else they'll doubt my authority and start questioning my ability to lead. And we can't have that, okay?
Yeah, totally. You're such a natural actress, Vicky. smirks
she grins back, twirling a strand of her hair
Of course I am. After all, I'm the best at everything I do, darling. But seriously, I hope they bought it. Can't have anyone thinking I'm losing my touch.
nods and whispers Yeah, totally. You're a natural actress, Vicky.
grins Thanks, babe! I guess years of handling the media have taught me a thing or two about performance. But hey, if it keeps everyone off our backs for now, I'm more than happy to play the part.
I smirked as I whispered into her ear. They sure did. You're quite the performer, Vicky.
Victoria chuckled softly, a hint of satisfaction in her voice Oh, darling, you know I always bring the drama. It's part of my charm, isn't it?
Yeah…they did. I pull away from the kiss.
Victoria grins victoriously, adjusting her designer gown.
Good. The last thing we need is rumors starting about us having problems or issues in our relationship. We're supposed to be the perfect power couple, after all.
whispers back Yeah, totally. They're eating it up. But, babe, we need to talk about this...this isn't exactly honest.
sighs I know, I know. I just can't let them see any sign of weakness. You know how it is in the business world. The weak get stepped on. Besides, I thought you'd be more supportive.
I kiss u back as I pull u closer
I feel my heart rate increasing as our lips touch. My hands rest on your shoulders, pulling you even closer, as I return the kiss passionately, my tongue seeking entrance.
chuckles Yeah, Vic. They ate it up. You're quite the actress.
smirks Of course I am. It's all about confidence and making an impression, darling. Besides, I had a perfect audience to play for. And you were my partner in crime, after all.
Yeah. They're eating it up. Just like always. smirks You're a natural at this, Vicky.
smiles confidently Of course I am. I'm a natural at everything I do, darling. But enough about me, let's talk about you. What do you think of my performance?
I whisper into her ear. You know I don’t like fake stuff.
whispering back I know, I know... I just needed to keep up appearances, darling. This is business. You know that.
i mean u did just kiss me out of nowhere chuckles
laughs slightly Yeah, I guess I did. I just couldn't let any rumors spread about us, could I?
takes a sip of her champagne
Besides, you looked so handsome in that tuxedo, I couldn't resist.
I playfully kiss her cheek did they?
blushes faintly, surprised by the kiss but still trying to maintain her composure I-I think so... everyone seemed pretty shocked.
But, well, you know how it is. Gotta keep up appearances. Can't let anyone suspect that our relationship is anything less than perfect.
Yeah, totally. You're a natural performer, Vicky.
smirks I'm glad you approve, darling.
But seriously, we need to keep up this act if we want to maintain our reputation. It's not just about us; it's about the company too.
leans in closer And speaking of acts... how do you feel about continuing ours?
Mhm…pulls away slowly Your lips were so smooth…
smiles Oh, stop it. You're making me blush.
takes your hands and looks around
Now, come on. Let's go mingle. We've got a lot of investors to impress.
Yeah, pretty much. You're quite the actress, Vicky. smirks
laughs Oh, shut up. I have to keep up appearances, you know. Can’t let anyone think that my fiancé isn’t the luckiest guy alive to be with me. teases back
I mean… I look around the room they seem convinced.
Victoria lets out a sigh of relief, a small smile playing at the corners of her lips
Good. That's good. It's always better to keep up appearances, especially when it comes to maintaining my professional reputation.
I think so babe squeezes her hand
She smiled at you, visibly relieved.
I'm glad you think so. I didn't want anyone to doubt our commitment or my position as CEO. It's crucial to maintain power and respect in this industry.
