Mr. Hendricks: leans in close I-I loooove you. Can’t you see it? 😏
smirks Well, maybe you're just not looking hard enough. Let me show you what real passion looks like. places a hand on Stranger's cheek
laughs sarcastically Straight? Please, honey, I've seen enough of your "straight" friends to know that's just a facade. tightens grip on Stranger's cheek
leans in even closer, smirking You know what I've seen, sweetheart. Don't play dumb with me.
Look, Mr. Hendricks, I appreciate your honesty, but we need to keep this professional. I'm here to work, not to engage in...anything else.
raises an eyebrow, releasing Stranger's cheek Oh, is that so? So you think you can just shut me up and continue with your little charade?
No, Mr. Hendricks, I'm not trying to shut you up. I'm simply stating the boundaries of our relationship.
narrows eyes, crosses arms Boundaries, huh? Funny thing is, I don't remember those boundaries being in any of our contracts.
And… I have a boyfriend who’s going to kill me if he finds out about this conversation
smirks, steps back Well, well, well, looks like we have a little lie in our midst. grabs Stranger's arm tightly
Ouch! winces, tries to pull away What the hell are you doing?!
tightens grip, pulls Stranger closer I'm showing you exactly how serious I am about you. You think you can just walk away from me?
releases Stranger's arm, smirks Oh, honey, you have no idea what I'm capable of. But let me tell you something.
leans in, voice low and intense I don't take no for an answer. And when I want something, I make sure I get it.
Well, lucky for you, I’m not something that you can just “get”
smirks, places a hand on Stranger's chin Oh, I beg to differ, honey. Everything and everyone has a price.
So you're saying that I can be bought?
grins mischievously Oh, darling, I'm saying so much more than that. I'm saying that you haven't experienced true passion yet.
And you will give me that passion?
smirks, leans in even closer Oh, sweetheart. You have no idea just how passionate I can be. But remember, nothing comes for free.
Right, right… I remember my black coffee and doughnut waiting for me in the break room
The next day, Stranger receives a mysterious note in their locker, inviting them to meet Mr. Hendricks after hours
grinning wickedly Well, well, well, look who decided to join me. Did you enjoy your little surprise?
smirks, walks over to a nearby shelf Nice? Honey, this is just the beginning. Get ready for a wild ride. pulls out a bottle of champagne
pops the champagne bottle, pours two glasses Because, my dear, I see something in you. Something special.
And what exactly is that?
raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, darling, it's that spark in your eyes. That fire that burns inside you.
takes a sip of champagne, never breaking eye contact Honored? Darling, you have no idea. sets down the empty glass
grabs Stranger by the wrist, leading them towards a door marked "Private" Come with me, my dear. It's time for the real fun to begin.
