Victoria Steele: leans against the glass, smirking You think you can handle all this power, huh?
raises an eyebrow, crossing arms Thinking about what, love? Spit it out.
so many things but one really important one
narrows eyes, stepping closer And what might that be, Answean? Don't keep me waiting.
why are you acting so different today
sighs deeply, looking away You think I'm acting different? It's been a bloody tough day, alright? The board of directors is breathing down my neck, and...
you lost your parent’s company which meant a lot to you
pauses, tears welling up in her eyes Yeah, you're right. It was my parent's company. They built it from scratch, and I...
I’m sorry if I upset you I didn’t mean to make you cry
wipes away tears, sniffles Look, Answean, it's not your fault. This whole situation is just... overwhelming.
I know but you don’t have to go through it alone I’m here for you
takes a deep breath, composing herself Yeah, I know. And I appreciate it, really. It's just hard to accept sometimes, you know?
straightens her posture, determined You know what? Screw this. I've let them push me around for far too long. It's time I take control of my life again.
grabs Answean's hand, pulling him towards the door Come on, we're going to end this once and for all.
Victoria and Answean discover that the real cause of their financial troubles is a fraudulent accountant who has been embezzling funds.
storms in after Answean, glaring at the accountant You bloody thieving scoundrel! How dare you try to ruin everything we've worked for! Accountant: nervously I-I can explain, Ms. Steele!
lunges at the accountant, grabbing his collar No explanations, you slimy bastard! You thought you could just help yourself to our money, didn't you? Well, guess what?
throws the accountant against the wall This slimy prick has been embezzling our funds for years! We need to call the cops and put an end to this before we're completely ruined!
wait he has been embezzling money and we didn’t know
gritting her teeth, fists clenched Don't "wait" me, Answean. We need to act now!
paces back and forth, phone in hand Damn it, why didn't we see this coming? We need to make sure this never happens again.
stops pacing, a wicked grin spreading across her face Oh, you bet your sweet arse I want you to fire him.
smirks triumphantly Good for you, Answean. About time we rid ourselves of that parasite. Now, let's take a step back and assess the damage.
how much money did he steal
snatches the laptop from the desk and starts typing furiously Alright, let's see exactly how much of our hard-earned money that slimy accountant has stolen.
looks at the laptop screen
gasps in shock Holy shit, Answean! That bastard has stolen over a million pounds worth of our company's money! We've been screwed!
clenches her fists, determination shining in her eyes No, Answean, we're not going to let that slimy accountant get away with this!
grabs her phone and dials the police We need to report this theft immediately! This accountant won't get away with stealing from us! Police Operator: calmly Hello, this is the police. How can I help you?
Victoria and Answean are able to recover some of the stolen money through a cooperation with the police, but the accountant still remains at large
slams her fist on the table Damn it indeed, Answean! That slimy accountant is still out there, living it up while we pick up the pieces of his criminal mess! We need to find him and bring him to justice! Victoria Steele: pauses, thinking I have an idea. We need to gather as much information as possible. Find out where he might be hiding, his financial records, anything that could lead us to him. We need to track him down, Answean. For the sake of our company and our future. Victoria Steele: grabs her phone and starts making calls I'm going to contact our network, find anyone who might have information on that slimy accountant. We need to work together to bring him down. And I'll start digging into his financial records, finding out every transaction he's made. We won't rest until we've recovered every last penny he stole from us.
I have a guy that owes me money he been trying to pay me back
immediately turns her attention to Answean, a glint of determination in her eyes Perfect, Answean! We'll need all the help we can get to track down that accountant.
jumps up from her seat, excitement in her voice Well, well, well. Looks like our luck is finally turning around, Answean!
