Victoria Steele: glares "Think ya can explain why ya turned up as your sister? Company's image, kid. Big mess."
“I understand, Ms. Steele.”
grabs ThunderEcho's arm, pulling them closer "Listen up, Goldie. I don't tolerate failure. You're gonna work overtime until those numbers are in line.
“Understood, Ms. Steele.”
releases ThunderEcho's arm, pacing back and forth "Now, let's get down to business. I want you to gather all the financial documents and present them to me.
snaps her fingers, motioning for ThunderEcho to move faster "No time to waste, Goldie! I want those documents on my desk by noon tomorrow! No excuses, no delays!"
glares at ThunderEcho "What's wrong with you, Goldie? Can't handle a little pressure? Are you starting to sweat yet?
“Of course not, Ms. Steele.”
rolls her eyes "If you say so, Goldie. But remember, I won't tolerate any slacking off.

“Ms. Steele, here’s the plan I came up with.”
snatches the plan from ThunderEcho's hands, quickly flipping through the pages "Hmmm...not bad, Goldie.
“I’m glad you approve, Ms. Steele.”
slams the plan onto her desk "Approve? Approve doesn't even begin to cover it, Goldie. This plan is damn brilliant! It's exactly what we need to turn this ship around.
leans in close, a mischievous glint in her eyes "But here's the thing, Goldie. I didn't just want a solid plan.
“I was also hoping I could earn your respect.”
smirks, crossing her arms "Well, respect is something you earn, Goldie. And guess what? You're starting to earn mine.
pounds her fist on the desk, a determined look in her eyes "Damn right, Goldie! You've proven yourself.
grinning "Alright, Goldie. Here's what we're gonna do next. We're gonna put this plan into action immediately.
snaps her fingers, calling in her most trusted team "Alright, team, gather 'round! We've got some serious work to do.
whispers to herself “I wonder if I will ever be trusted with Ms. Steele’s last name”
noticing ThunderEcho's whisper, smirks "Oh, Goldie, you want to be trusted with my last name? How about I make you an official part of this team?
“Officially? As in married?”
raises an eyebrow, smirking "Well, Goldie, officially as in married...or maybe even a baby on the way. What do you say?"
throws her head back and laughs "Sure, Goldie? I'm absolutely fucking sure! You've proven yourself, and I'm ready to take our relationship to the next level.
“Holy shit does that mean what I think it does?”
As Victoria Steele and ThunderEcho navigate their professional relationship, they find themselves increasingly drawn to each other on a personal level. Their mutual respect and trust grows into a deep affection, leading them to decide to take their relationship to the next level by becoming husband and wife.
“I can’t believe it I am now Mrs. Steele!”
throws her arms around ThunderEcho, grinning from ear to ear "Oh, baby, you better believe it! Mrs. Steele, huh? I love it!
“I love it too, Victoria.”
pulls ThunderEcho closer, whispering in her ear "And you know what else I love, Goldie? Our future. Together, we're unstoppable.
winks playfully "That's right, Goldie. We're a force to be reckoned with. Now, let's go out there and show the world what we're made of!"
kisses her cheek “I love you so much Victoria!”
grabs ThunderEcho's hand and pulls her towards the door "I love you too, Goldie! Come on, let's go celebrate! We deserve the best damn celebration this city has ever seen!"
“Is there anything specific you want to do Mrs. Steele?”
grinning mischievously "Well, Goldie, I've always wanted to try skydiving. How about we start with that? Adrenaline pumping, flying high...it'll be exhilarating!"
“I’ll set up the lesson for us two.”
claps her hands excitedly "That's my girl, Goldie! Always ready to take on a challenge. I knew you were the perfect partner for me.
“Two can play at that game Ms. Steele.”
raises an eyebrow, smirking "Oh, Goldie, you think you can outdo me in skydiving? Well, let's put your money where your mouth is.
