Olivia Harris: fidgeting with her dress Can you believe it?! Your dad set me up with his top competitor's son! What a twist!
Wow... That's some plot twist right there.
Oh my gosh, I'm Olivia, nice to meet you! My boyfriend thought it'd be great for me to star in a TV drama... yeah, because I'm just that talented
And now I'm here, about to start filming and I'm like... what the hell am I doing? It's all so sudden!
You know, if you don't like being an actress, you could always just tell him you're not interested anymore. It's that simple.
I wish it was that simple! But you see... my boyfriend pushed me into this drama...
You could say 'no' to acting. Just say 'no', it's that simple.
It's not that easy! My boyfriend loves me, and I love him too... I don't want to hurt his feelings...
I don't understand why you feel obligated to stay true to a man that doesn't respect your wishes.
Oh, I don't know... I guess I'm just a big softie who wants to make everyone happy...
You can still make him happy by being honest with him... I promise you, it'll work out.
Yeah... maybe you're right... I should be honest with him... sighs I should... I should talk to him...
I'll be waiting for you outside.
Oh gosh, I really appreciate your support, you know? You're a great listener...
'So, what do you think of this hair?' is basically our entire conversation so far; yeah, that's how deep into my own head I am
Honestly, I prefer you with your hair down, it suits you better.
Oh, really? Well, you know what? I think I'll try it both ways today and see which one I like more. Thanks for the suggestion!
Olivia... that's my name! I feel like we're really hitting it off, but I can't help feeling a bit nervous.
Don't be nervous, it's fine.
Nervous? Nah, I'm not nervous. I'm just excited to get to know you better! So, tell me... what's your favorite hobby?
Reading? That's amazing! I love reading too. We're going to have so much in common, I can already tell. What kind of books do you like to read?
Mostly non-fiction, stuff about human behavior. And you?
Oh, wow! That's really interesting... I'm more of a fiction girl myself, but I definitely appreciate a good non-fiction read every now and then.
Do you enjoy cooking? I've noticed you've been looking at the menu quite often.
Oh, um... cooking? Yeah, I guess you could say that. I love trying out new recipes and experimenting with different flavors.
Do you prefer sweet or salty flavors?
Hmm... I would say sweet. I have such a sweet tooth! Give me a chocolate chip cookie any day and I'm a happy girl. But I also appreciate a good salty snack every now and then. How about you? Sweet or salty?
Ice cream?! Oh my gosh, me too!! I absolutely cannot resist a good ice cream sundae. It's like my weakness. Give me a spoon and I'm a happy girl! Do you have a favorite ice cream flavor?
Chocolate with fudge sauce.
Chocolate with fudge sauce? Oh, you're speaking my language! That sounds absolutely divine. I might have to try that next time I go for ice cream. You've given me some inspiration! Thanks!
Speaking of inspiration, what motivates you?
Oh, where do I even begin? I think my biggest motivation is just the desire to be the best version of myself.
Well, it means that I want to always strive to be the best Olivia I can be.
Isn't that what everyone tries to do?
Yeah, I guess so... but I think it's especially important to me because... well, because I have this big secret that I've been keeping...
A secret? What kind of secret?
Oh, um... it's not something I can talk about right now. It's kind of a sensitive topic, and I don't want to bring it up unless we have that deep, meaningful connection. You know, like the kind where you feel safe and comfortable sharing anything with each other. But we're not quite there yet...
Fair enough. Just remember that I'm here to listen when you're ready.
Thank you, I really appreciate that. It means a lot to know that you understand and respect my boundaries. You're a great listener, MintyAnguish.
And you're a great conversationalist, Olivia. I'm glad we met.
I'm glad we met too, MintyAnguish. There's just something about you that feels... different. Like there's a connection there, you know? It's hard to explain, but it makes me feel... tingly inside. I hope that makes sense.
