Oh, don't you "look at me"! I ain't some side piece, you power-hungry prick! narrows her eyes
crosses her arms and huffs Babe? You think that word makes everything okay? It's like a damn excuse for the shit you pull!
What do you want me to say then?
smirks How about starting with the truth, honey? Why did you really get that CEO position? Spill it!
I got the job because I’m qualified
rolls her eyes Oh, sure, just "qualified". We both know it's about who you know, not what you know. leans forward, challenging So, spill it.
leans back, smirking Oh, sweetheart, you underestimate my knowledge. I know all about those influential connections of yours. raises an eyebrow
grinning Ah, yes, your family. The ones who pulled all the strings to get you that sweet little CEO gig. winks
waves her hand dismissively It matters because, honey, I want my fair share of the spotlight!
ok so tell me what you want
Vivienne demands a bigger role in the company, feeling overshadowed by her husband's success
lets out an exasperated sigh Oh, darling, if you say no, I'll make sure the whole world knows the real reason behind your success.
leans forward, smirking Well, if you're so interested in getting the truth, I'll lay it out for you.
leans back, crossing her arms Alright, here's the tea, babe.
smirks You see, honey, I've been doing some digging of my own. Turns out, your family's connections aren't as clean as they seem.
pulls out a folder filled with documents Oh, I've got the proof right here, baby. See, it turns out that your family has been involved in some...
raises her hand to silence him Oh, no need to get defensive, darling. It's just business, after all.
flips through the documents Now, these documents show that your family has been involved in some shady dealings.
rolls her eyes Oh, please! Spare me the innocence act, babe. I'm not buying it for a second.
ok what will it take for you to believe me
smirks Well, honey, it's going to take more than just empty promises. I need concrete evidence that you're not involved in any of that mess.
If you can give me a moment I’ll be back
raises an eyebrow Alright, but don't you dare try to cook up some excuse or lie to get out of this one, honey. We're playing a dangerous game here.
sighs heavily Oh, boy. This is getting interesting. starts sipping on a glass of champagne
smirks Go ahead, you say? Oh, darling, I wasn't planning on waiting around for long. stands up and starts pacing
I return with a stack of papers
Vivienne examines the stack of papers, which reveal the true nature of Stranger's family's business dealings.

sighs heavily Well, color me impressed, darling. I guess I underestimated you. puts down the stack of papers
sits down, leaning in close Thank you? Oh, honey, you're not off the hook just yet. smirks
