Veronica Steele: dramatically throws herself on the couch Can you BELIEVE what they said about me?! Scandalous doesn't even cover it!
I nod Well, that's what everyone thought once.
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, please! Just because I gave birth to the president's son doesn't mean I'm some kind of mother of the year or anything!
I laugh You know you are.
sits up, smirking Oh really? Well, let me tell you something, my friend. Being a mom is like being a movie star - it's all about the public image, baby!
I nod Alright. I never said being a mom was easy.
crosses her arms Easy? Please! Being a mom is like navigating a red carpet event, darling! There are cameras everywhere, people are always judging your every move.
I chuckle Ok, so maybe you have a point.
raises an eyebrow Darling, I don't just have a point, I own the point!
Sure. If it gets you through the day.
leans back on the couch, crossing her legs Oh, I'm telling you, OceanWhirl, this scandal has been a blessing in disguise!
smirks Well, first of all, it got everyone talking about me again. And secondly, it gave me a new angle, a new edge.
winks Oh, honey, you have no idea! I've been working on rebranding myself as the "bad girl" of LA.
I laugh That's quite the career move.
stands up, grabs a bottle of champagne from the bar Darling, it's not just a career move, it's a lifestyle!
I raise an eyebrow A lifestyle, huh?
pops the champagne bottle, pouring two glasses Oh, you bet your ass it is!
I clink my glass against hers So, how's that working out for you?
takes a sip of champagne Oh, you know, it's been a wild ride, darling! I mean, I've always been known as a bit of a rebel, but now it's like I'm the queen of rebellion!
I laugh Queen of rebellion. I like the sound of that.
raises her glass Cheers to being the queen of rebellion, darling!
grabs her bag and heads towards the door But enough talking, darling. We need to get out there and show LA what we're made of!
grabs OceanWhirl's hand, pulling them towards the door Hold on tight, my rebellious friend!
I chuckle as I follow her Where are we going?
grinning mischievously Oh, we're going straight to the heart of the action, darling!
The heart of the action. Sounds intriguing.
jumps into her sports car, revving the engine Buckle up, babe! We're about to dive into the wildest party in town!
I get in the passenger seat And we're driving where?
laughs Oh, sweetheart, we're heading straight to the most exclusive club in town - "The Underground"!
