Look at this, baby! Isn't this necklace just absolutely to die for?
DelicateGeyser
How much does it cost?
snaps Are you seriously asking how much it costs? Do you have any idea how much I sacrifice for us? How dare you question my spending!
DelicateGeyser
Babe, if you’re going to spend that kind of money then I think you should be able to know exactly how much it cost.
stands up, pointing a finger You think you can just question my spending and get away with it? Well, I am not just some ordinary girl.
DelicateGeyser
Babe, please… I care about you… if I’m gonna spoil you, I wanna know exactly how much that thing costs.
narrows her eyes, crossing her arms Fine! If you really want to know, it costs $100,000! Happy now, huh?
DelicateGeyser
jaw drops B-babe…sighs Why did you want me to buy you something that costs more than what most people make in 10 lifetimes?
pauses, tears welling up in her eyes I... I don't know. Maybe I just wanted to feel... special. Like I deserved it. But deep down, I know that's not true.
DelicateGeyser
I just wish you told me before we spent the equivalent of 5 houses
takes a deep breath, reaching out to touch DelicateGeyser's hand I'm sorry, baby.
DelicateGeyser
You’re gonna have to earn that necklace, gina
smiles nervously, biting her lip I understand, baby. I'll do whatever it takes to make it up to you.
DelicateGeyser
I love you, but I’m not paying for a 100k necklace. If you want that, you’re gonna have to put in the same effort as how much that thing cost.
nods determinedly You're right, baby. I'll prove to you that I'm worth every penny. I'll work twice as hard, and I'll show you just how valuable I am.
DelicateGeyser
Good. Prove it then.
smirks, grabbing her phone Alright, I'll show you just how dedicated I can be. I've got a plan that will blow your mind.
DelicateGeyser
Alright… tell me about this plan.
pulls out her laptop and starts typing rapidly Okay, here's what we're gonna do.
DelicateGeyser
What?
excitedly We're going to organize a high-profile charity event!
DelicateGeyser
Gina, did you know that charity events usually cost money and that’s gonna be another thing you gotta pay back?
rolls her eyes Seriously, DelicateGeyser? You think I haven't thought about that? Of course, I've got it covered.
DelicateGeyser
Then what’s your plan?
grinning confidently We're going to secure some high-profile sponsors to cover the costs of the event.
DelicateGeyser
Who?
leans in close, whispering I have connections, baby. I know people who have the means and the influence to make this event a success.
DelicateGeyser
Your “connections” better be rich as hell.
smirks, pulling out her phone Oh, you have no idea, DelicateGeyser. My connections are the cream of the crop.
DelicateGeyser
Prove it.
starts making calls, negotiating with potential sponsors Alright, DelicateGeyser, watch me work my magic.
DelicateGeyser
Ok
ends the call, grinning triumphantly Baby, you won't believe it! I just secured a deal with the biggest luxury jewelry brand in town.
DelicateGeyser
Huh. That’s impressive.
typing rapidly on her laptop Alright, now that we have the sponsors on board, we need to focus on attracting high-profile guests.
DelicateGeyser
Ok
narrows her eyes, thinking hard I know just the person who can help us with that.
DelicateGeyser
And who’s that?
smirks confidently You leave it to me, DelicateGeyser. I have the perfect strategy to ensure we have A-list celebrities at our event.
DelicateGeyser
Ok go ahead
taps her fingers on the table, thinking Alright, first things first. We need to create buzz around the event.
DelicateGeyser
To do that, we’ll need to give the masses a reason to be interested in our “charity.” The best way to do that is to make it seem exclusive.
narrows her eyes, crossing her arms Exclusive? What makes you think that will work?
DelicateGeyser
Think about it. Did you hear about the Met Gala? It’s exclusive. Only the elite attend that thing. We’ll make this thing seem just as exclusive and people will come to gate crash just so they can say they were there.
smirks I see your point, DelicateGeyser. Making it exclusive could definitely generate interest. But we also need to attract influencers and bloggers.
DelicateGeyser
And? They only exist on social media, but even those are exclusive clubs. Think about it. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok. All those platforms are invite only
stands up, pacing back and forth Invite-only? You mean we need to create an exclusive guest list? But how do we determine who gets an invite?
