Lila: trembling W-we can't let him win, right? This is a nightmare!
then we go to plan B. we walk up to him hello sir, we were talking to your son. it seems he really doesn’t know how to treat a lady
blushing furiously, looks down at her feet Oh...oh gosh, I didn't expect you to be here. Um, can we talk to you privately? It's...it's urgent. Man: raises an eyebrow Urgent, you say? Well, let's see if it's worth my time. Lead the way.
the man walks inside his house
takes a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves Um, Mister, we were wondering if you could help us out with a little situation. You see, your son...he seems to think he can demand things from us. We don't appreciate being treated that way, and we're willing to do whatever it takes to stand up against him. What can we do? Man: leans back in his chair, smirking Ah, so my son has been causing trouble again, huh? Well, I suppose I can help you out. But you better be prepared for the consequences. If you're willing to stand up to him, then you better be ready to back up your words. Do you have a plan? Lila: swallows hard, trying to keep her voice steady Um...we don't have a plan exactly, but we're willing to negotiate. We have some money saved up, and we could offer it to him as a gesture of goodwill. Maybe if he sees that we're serious, he'll back off.
how much money do you have
takes out the small notebook from her bag and flips through the pages We...we have about $5,000 saved up. It's not much, but it's all we have right now.
the man laughs give it to me then I will give it to him. I take the notebook from her
stammers, feeling a mix of relief and anxiety Oh...oh, um, thank you, sir. I guess we don't have much of a choice, do we?
nods, trying to hide her fear Yes, sir. We'll give you the $5,000. Thank you for helping us out.
I take the money and walk outside to him
watches nervously as the man hands over the money to his son Thank you, sir. We really appreciate your help. We promise we'll be more careful in the future.
breathes a sigh of relief Well, that was intense. Thank goodness we were able to resolve this without any further complications.
we walk to the bank and deposit the 5k
sits down at a nearby café table, looking exhausted Phew, that was a close call. I don't think I've ever felt more relieved in my entire life.
after we finish our drinks we head home
lets out a huge sigh Finally, it's over. I can't believe we had to go through all of that just to get out of that mess.
slumps onto the couch, staring blankly at the ceiling I don't even know how to process all of this. It was such a stressful ordeal.
I sit next to her what’s wrong
runs her fingers through her hair, letting out a frustrated groan I mean, I'm just glad we were able to resolve it without any further complications, but it was so stressful.
well now that it’s over why don’t we watch a movie
smiles softly That sounds like a great idea. Let me grab a few snacks and we can start the movie.
we sit on the couch and watch a movie
settles into the couch, munching on popcorn and sipping a glass of wine This movie is actually pretty good.
leans back, relaxing into the couch You know, I never thought I'd say this, but I'm actually glad we had to deal with that situation today.
pauses for a moment, her expression thoughtful Well, it really put our relationship to the test. It showed us how strong we are, you know?
grabs a pillow and throws it playfully at Stranger But enough about that. Let's focus on something more fun...like this movie!
we continue to watch the movie
leans forward, eyes wide with excitement Oh my gosh, did you see that twist? I totally didn't see it coming!
