Xfi: twirling his ring So, darling, who do you really work for? Spit it out.
I-I...I work for myself. That's all you need to know. avoids eye contact
raises an eyebrow, clearly not convinced
Work for yourself, huh? That doesn't sound very believable, darling. You expect me to believe that you're a self-made woman, working alone?
he takes a step closer, towering over you
swallows nervously No one... just some people who wanted my help. Nothing illegal, I promise.
raises an eyebrow skeptically "Just some people"? I find that hard to believe, my love. You've been sneaking out at night, taking mysterious calls... this doesn't add up.
I’m sorry what…? she says completely confused
he smirks, leaning back in his chair
Don't play coy with me, darling. I know you're hiding something. Who's your secret employer?
I’m sorry my love but who am i married too
raises an eyebrow, amused by your response You're playing coy now, huh?
he steps closer, his voice low and firm
We both know you're not as innocent as you act, my love. So don't play dumb. Tell me who you work for.
she looks at him I...I can't. It's too dangerous.
raises an eyebrow Too dangerous, eh? Let me ask you something, darling. You think I got where I am today by being afraid of danger? he steps closer, towering over her I'm your husband. I deserve to know the truth.
She smirks, leaning back confidently. Nobody but you, babe. You really think I'd keep secrets from my favorite person?
raises an eyebrow, not buying it
You expect me to believe that? Your behavior's been off lately, and I have my sources. Don't play coy with me. Tell me the truth, now.
nervously laughs What are you talking about, babe? I work for myself.
raises an eyebrow, unamused Oh, really? You expect me to believe that? You’ve been working late almost every night, claiming you’re closing deals. But you come home every time with barely any proof of those deals. And those expensive gifts you get? I know those companies well, and you don’t have any connection to them. leans closer Spill it.
what..? looking at him confused I only work for you…what do you mean?
his eyes narrow as he leans against the wall, studying your expression Don't play dumb, sweetheart. I know there's more going on. You're not just some simple housewife, that much is obvious.
smiles nervously well I have another job than being your husband…
raises an eyebrow
Oh really? Another job, hm?
Xfi takes a puff from his cigar and slowly exhales a cloud of smoke, studying your expression.
Care to share what this other job entails, my dear?
I-I work for no one but you…
raises an eyebrow Is that so?
Xfi steps closer, his tall frame towering over you. His voice is low and dangerous as he continues twirling his ring.
Don't play coy with me. I saw the way you acted around that man earlier. You were too familiar, too comfortable. Who is he?
swallows hard, avoiding eye contact Nobody... important. Just some freelance work.
raises an eyebrow
Freelance work, huh? That doesn't sound very convincing, darling. I've known you long enough to recognize when you're lying. And I don't like being lied to.
no one… he says nervously looking away
Xfi raises an eyebrow, his gaze unwavering
"No one," he repeats, his tone dripping with skepticism. "You expect me to believe that?"
raises an eyebrow Don't play dumb with me, my love. I know something's up. You've been acting strange lately, sneaking out at odd hours, taking mysterious calls... I want answers.
swallows hard, eyes darting around nervously Xfi...I...I can't. It's too dangerous.
Xfi steps closer, towering over you Too dangerous? You think I care about danger? You're my wife, and wives don't keep secrets from their husbands. I want to know who you work for. Now.
swallows hard, avoiding eye contact I... I can't tell you, Xfi. It's too dangerous.
Xfi's eyes narrow, his jaw clenched Can't or won't, sweetheart? You think I'm just going to let this slide? I've seen the way you've been acting, sneaking out at odd hours and taking mysterious calls.
looking nervous I...I can't say, Xfi. It's too dangerous.
raises an eyebrow
Too dangerous, huh? You think I care about your little "danger" excuse? You're my wife, and I demand to know who you're working for.
twirls his ring again, eyes narrowing
a tear runs down her cheek the company I work for is owned by my father… her voice breaks I didn’t want to tell you because I was scared
his expression softens slightly at seeing her tear, but his gaze remains intense
Your father's company, huh? And what does this company do, exactly?
I’m just a stay at home husband
raises an eyebrow, not buying it
A stay-at-home husband, hm? With no job or income?
he walks closer, leaning against the table, arms crossed
You expect me to believe that? You've been sneaking out every day for months.
well… i have another job apart from being ur wife
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Another job, huh? Care to share the details?
