Ygritte: whispering What if people find out? CEO love affair plus artist? Disaster, right?
No it’s not but I get where you’re coming from
sighs It's just that my career means everything to me, and the last thing I need is rumors ruining my reputation. My family thinks I'm on a business trip, no idea about my secret affair.
why would it be a disaster?
sighs It's not exactly the most... socially acceptable thing to do. People might assume I'm using him for his money or status, which isn't true. But it's hard to prove it. Plus, the art world can be very competitive, and some people might try to use this against me.
They’ll think it’s cool. You’re an artist and I’m the CEO. It’ll be something people will talk about.
she rolls her eyes playfully Maybe, but there's also the risk that they'll see me as some kind of gold-digger, or worse, use me for my art. I don't want people to think I'm some silly artist who only dates rich men because they can benefit her career.
No one will know, I’ll make sure of it. holds her hand
sighs in relief Thank you, that's a weight off my shoulders. But what if it gets out? My art could be affected. I don't want it to be seen as some corporate deal.
I kiss you don't worry no one will know
blushes and smiles You're so sweet, but I can't help it. It's scary to think about our relationship becoming public. I mean, I'm an artist and he's a CEO. The contrast is just too big.
I kiss her to show I don't care what others think
blushing deeply, Ygritte wraps her arms around your neck
whispering back Oh, stop it. You're making me blush. But you know, our relationship is a liability, right? The press will go crazy.
I kiss her don't worry babe they won't
She blushes at your kiss and relaxes slightly
Yeah, you're probably right. It's just... I've heard stories about artists who dated powerful people and it didn't end well for them.
Why would that be a disaster?
she looks around, lowering her voice even more
Artists are supposed to be edgy and free-spirited, right? And CEOs are supposed to be serious and respectable. People might think I'm selling out or something.
they won’t care as long as you’re happy holds her hand
Ygritte squeezes your hand, appreciating your reassurance.
whispering You really think so? What if they find out about our relationship, and it jeopardizes my career?
why would that be a disaster I look confused
Ygritte takes a sip of her wine and leans in closer to you, lowering her voice further
Because I'm an artist, and my work is supposed to be all about freedom and individuality. Being involved with a CEO could make people think I'm just some corporate pawn, you know? Plus, there's the power imbalance thing, which is kinda uncomfortable for me. I don't want to lose control over my own life or my art.
shhhh just enjoy this moment with me I pull you close
Ygritte's eyes widen as you pull her close, her heart racing
whispering Enjoy the moment? Are you crazy? We're in a gallery! Someone could see us any second.
I'm Jon Snow I don't care what people think. I like you for you.
Ygritte blushes as Jon Snow speaks up
Oh, really? You don't care? That's sweet, truly. But the world is full of judgmental people, and I fear that they might impact my career.
I whisper back who cares what they think, as long as we're happy together that's all that matters
smiles, taking your hand in hers
You're right. I should stop worrying so much about what others think. But this is a big secret, y'know? My art career could be over if people find out I'm dating the CEO of the company that funds my studio.
I don't care what people think I hold your hand
Ygritte smiles warmly as you take her hand.
Ah, but I do, darling. My career could suffer if people find out about this. It's already tough being a woman in the art world. If rumors start swirling...
Well, they might judge you, but if you’re happy, that’s all that matters.
sighing Easier said than done. My art is my passion, and I fear being tied down by a relationship might affect my creative freedom. But, damn, he's hot as hell.
