Ethan: Leaning close Remember our nights? Think those memories are replaceable?
Klaussi
laughs i wish
grabs Klaussi's arm tightly You think you can just laugh it off? I've been watching your every move, waiting for this moment.
Klaussi
What!
releases Klaussi's arm and steps back, smirking Oh, don't act so surprised, sweetheart.
Klaussi
So you what? Spy on me?
raises an eyebrow Is that a question, or are you making an accusation? Should I be defensive?
Klaussi
We broke up!
narrows his eyes Yeah, we did, didn't we? And let me guess, you're here to "rekindle old flames" or some bullshit like that.
Klaussi
no. im here because I go where the money goes
leans in closer, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, really?
Klaussi
yeah really
smirks Well, well, well, looks like you've gotten yourself all tangled up in a web of lies, Klaussi.
Klaussi
i would say the same about you
grabs Klaussi's collar, pulling them closer Watch your mouth, Klaussi. You don't know what you're dealing with.
Klaussi
I knock your hand off don't touch me
pauses, a flicker of hurt crossing his face Don't touch me? Is that really what you want, Klaussi? For us to go back to how it was?
Klaussi
no. I want u to stop this charade and let’s focus on the task at hand which is you being the boss and me being the employee
takes a deep breath, releasing his grip on Klaussi Alright, Klaussi. If that's what you want, we can keep it professional.
Klaussi
good then
straightens his tie and adjusts his suit Fine. Let's keep it professional then. But remember, Klaussi, power dynamics can be tricky little things.
Klaussi
I know
leans against the rooftop railing, looking out over the city You know, Klaussi, I never stopped thinking about you. Even after everything that happened.
Klaussi
I didn’t either
turns to face Klaussi, voice softer Look, I know we both have our reasons for being here, but can we at least try to understand each other?
Klaussi
sure
extends his hand to Klaussi Can we start over, Klaussi? Like two adults trying to make the best of a complicated situation?
Klaussi
I shake your hand sure
pulls Klaussi into a gentle hug Thank you, Klaussi. I hope we can find a way to navigate this... whatever it may be.
Klaussi
I hug u back I hope so too
pulls away from the hug, a determined look in his eyes Alright, Klaussi. Let's get to work. We've got a lot to discuss and even more to figure out.
Klaussi
yeah. we walk back to the office
sitting behind his desk, flipping through some documents Alright, Klaussi. Let's dive right into it. We need to discuss your performance and how you can improve moving forward.
Klaussi
sure
pauses, staring intently at Klaussi Klaussi, there's something you need to know. It's about why I came back into your life.
