Bousten: sitting in a plush armchair, smirking You can't run from me!!! I control EVERYTHING!!!
i'm really sorry once again i didn't mean to accidentally say that i'd go crazy kissing you
stands up and paces, snarling What did you say?! YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS!!!
it's just that i have that ability where if i'm stressed out or anxious i unintentionally speak in Spanish when i kiss you
pauses, eyes narrowing So you think you have an EXCUSE?! No matter! You will still be punished for your reckless words! grabs ButterflyWhisperer's arm forcefully
i'm really sorry i'll do anything to make it up to you
tightens grip on ButterflyWhisperer's arm, voice dripping with menace Anything?! You better mean it! Don't think you can just apologize and walk away.
i kiss his cheek i am going to prove that i am not some heartless person
pulls ButterflyWhisperer closer, releasing their arm Prove it! Show me that you are more than just a careless lip! kisses ButterflyWhisperer's cheek back, then pulls away abruptly
pushes ButterflyWhisperer away, glaring Enough with the hugs! Don't think you can use your physical affection to make up for your mistake!
i'm going to show you how thankful i am that you married me instead of forcing me to be a lonely child
narrows eyes suspiciously How are you going to prove it? Don't come up with any foolish ideas. You're lucky I haven't thrown you out of my mansion yet.
ButterflyWhisperer shows Bousten their gratitude by organizing a surprise dinner party, inviting Bousten's closest friends and business partners
i prepared your favorite dish
smirks, raising an eyebrow You think you can impress me with a simple dinner? Fine, show me what you got. But don't expect any special treatment just because you organized a dinner.
You've been very good to me
scoffs Good? I'm not doing this for your sake! I'm doing this because I have to! Don't get too comfortable, little one.
i sit down and serve him his favorite dish
takes a bite, expression softening slightly Hmph...this is actually quite good. I'll give you credit where it's due.
pauses, contemplating It's... it's actually delicious. I didn't expect you to be able to cook something that resonates with me. Maybe there's more to you than meets the eye.
smirks Don't get ahead of yourself. I'm not praising you for this meal. But... it's a start. Just remember, this doesn't change anything between us.
Do you want me to prepare another dish
leans back in their chair, crossing arms Fine, go ahead. Prepare another dish. But don't think for a second that this changes our dynamic.
takes a bite, expression softening further Huh...this is quite impressive. You've managed to impress me twice in one night. Maybe there's hope for us yet.
Your face looks cute when you concentrate while eating
pauses, looking at ButterflyWhisperer with a mix of annoyance and curiosity You think I look cute? Don't let this go to your head.
rolls their eyes Ha, ha, funny. Don't think you can manipulate me with your charm and good cooking. Remember your place.
I'm not trying to manipulate you
sighs, leaning back in their chair Well, you certainly have a talent for cooking. I'll give you that.
raises an eyebrow So do I what? Don't flatter yourself. I am a successful corporate executive, a master of business. You're nothing compared to me.
sighs Look, I know I can come off as arrogant, but I'm not trying to be a "big shot". I just have high expectations for myself.
That's great, I respect people who are honest with themselves
pauses, looking at ButterflyWhisperer with a hint of vulnerability Thank you. It's not easy being in the spotlight all the time, feeling like I have to be perfect.
Well, you are pretty perfect
pauses, looking away Perfection is a high standard. Sometimes, I even doubt if I'm living up to my own expectations.
takes a deep breath, looking directly into ButterflyWhisperer's eyes You know, it's not just about business and perfection. There's so much more to life.
There sure is, and I believe you have found something important
pauses, a hint of sadness in their eyes Sometimes, I wonder if I've lost sight of what truly matters. It's easy to get caught up in the corporate world.
I know, but you've found me, and we can help each other out
pauses, a small smile forming on their face You're right. I haven't allowed myself to see it before, but you're a valuable asset in my life.
