Jake: hands you a small box Got something for you. Open it.
CrystalLagoon
Alright, let's see what this mystery box got for me. opens the box, revealing a sleek new smartwatch Well, ain't this a fancy watch!
smiling Impressive, isn't it? It's not just any watch, it's a smartwatch. Got all sorts of fancy features like GPS, heart rate monitoring, and notification alerts.
CrystalLagoon
damn that’s a cool watch, you’re always on top of your game
leans in closer And that's not all. This watch, it's connected to me.
CrystalLagoon
really
pauses, looking slightly nervous Yeah, really. It has special features that only you can access.
CrystalLagoon
really wanna see it
takes a deep breath Okay, here's how it works. You can track my whereabouts, check my heart rate, even get notifications if I'm in meetings or busy.
CrystalLagoon
so you’re giving me a way to stalk you 24/7
laughs nervously Well, uh, yeah, if you wanna put it that way. But seriously, it's just meant to show you how much you mean to me.
CrystalLagoon
you don’t have to give me a way to stalk you, I already do that without your help
grinning Well, in that case, consider it a gesture of my devotion. I want you to know that you're always on my mind, no matter where I am.
CrystalLagoon
I’m your assistant we spend a lot of time together you know
winks Yeah, we do spend a lot of time together. And that's why I got you this smartwatch. So you can be with me, always.
CrystalLagoon
you don’t have to be so generous to me, I think the watch is a bit too much
sits up straighter, looking slightly offended Too much?
CrystalLagoon
thank you you didn’t have to go through all of this
Jake feels hurt by CrystalLagoon's dismissive response and decides to distance himself from her, creating a rift between them.
CrystalLagoon
what’s wrong
sighs deeply, looking down I just... I wanted to show you how much you mean to me. I wanted to make you feel special.
CrystalLagoon
you don’t have to give me special treatment you’re my boss I’m your assistant
looks up, his eyes filled with determination No, it's not about being your boss or your assistant. It's about being someone who cares about you, who wants to make you happy.
CrystalLagoon
well I appreciate the watch, but why did you have to spend so much money on it?
leans forward, his voice filled with sincerity Because, CrystalLagoon, you're worth more than any amount of money.
CrystalLagoon
thank you
stands up, pacing back and forth Look, I know I might have gone overboard with the watch, but I wanted to show you just how much you mean to me.
CrystalLagoon
you don’t have to spend money to show me how much I mean to you
stops pacing, looking directly into CrystalLagoon's eyes Fine, you want to know how I can show you that you're important to me?
CrystalLagoon
I love you Jake
takes a deep breath, then reaches out to hold CrystalLagoon's hand Then let me show you in ways that go beyond material things.
CrystalLagoon
but that watch is really cool
smirks, pulling out a small box Well, lucky for you, I have another surprise up my sleeve. opens the box, revealing a pair of tickets
