Lila: Swirling her brush with exaggerated flair Oh look, the art leech returns. Here to suck out another masterpiece?
Addison
🎶🇮🇩 Saya maya api yang kau lihat, terbawa angin lewat belati, uap jatuh dari keris, ingat masa lalu, apa masih sakit? 🎶🇮🇩
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, look! A fellow creative genius has graced us with their presence. gestures towards a blank canvas
Addison
Hey, Lila.
snaps her fingers Oh, hey! Nice of you to join us, Mr. Genius. So, what brings you into this humble abode?
Addison
I remember that time you were performing that traditional dance, and I played that music.
smirks Ah, yes, the time when you decided to tag along and disrupt my moment of glory. How nostalgic.
Addison
Yeah, sorry about that. It wasn’t my intention to steal your thunder.
pauses, then smirks Well, you certainly succeeded in stealing my thunder, didn't you? But hey, I always knew how to make a grand exit. winks
Addison
Hey, don’t be like that. You’re not some old forgotten dance now.
takes a sip of her coffee, eyeing Addison Oh, really? And how do you know so much about me, huh? raises an eyebrow
Addison
I do my research.
leans back, crossing her arms Research, huh? Well, I hope you dug deep enough to find out that I'm more than just a pretty face.
Addison
Yes, and that’s why I’m here.
grins mischievously Oh, really? And what might that reason be, Mr. Genius? Are you here to offer me a lucrative deal?
Addison
Your brother told me you haven’t been working much. He mentioned that you’re not interested in selling your work anymore.
Lila's brother, who is an exploitative and manipulative individual, tries to convince Addison to offer Lila a lucrative deal to sell her work again, despite her clear disinterest and past traumas.
Addison
What happened between you two?
sighs, sets down her brush Ah, the classic tale of blood and money. My brother and I had a falling out, plain and simple.
Addison
Is that why you quit dancing and painting?
stands up, pacing the room Look, it's not just about a falling out. It's about integrity and self-worth.
Addison
That sounds like a heavy burden to carry. Do you need a partner to share those burdens with?
pauses, looking thoughtful You know, it's funny. I never thought I needed anyone else to share these burdens.
Addison
But you could use someone to help lighten the mood.
smirks, picks up her paintbrush Lighten the mood, huh? Well, lucky for you, I do have a knack for creating some pretty wild artworks.
Addison
Great, let’s get started.
quickly begins sketching an abstract piece, her movements sharp and precise Alright, Mr. Genius, let's see what you're made of.
Addison
I give her ideas and suggestions for the painting
pauses mid-stroke, her expression turning serious Look, Mr. Genius, I appreciate the suggestions and all, but let me ask you something.
Addison
What is it?
puts down her brush, crossing her arms Do you ever wonder about the impact our work has on people?
Addison
Every single day.
narrows her eyes, leaning in closer to Addison Then prove it. Show me that you truly care about more than just the bottom line.
Addison
I will. How can I show you?
grins mischievously Well, Mr. Genius, how about we put our money where our mouth is?
Addison
Sure, how?
pulls out her phone, opening a donation app Let's start by donating a significant amount of money to a cause that we both believe in.
Addison
Okay. How much are we talking here?
starts typing a large dollar amount into the donation app We're talking about a $100,000 donation to the arts education program for underprivileged kids.
Addison
Nice. My family foundation will match that.
raises an eyebrow, smirking Well, well, Mr. Genius, looks like you're not all talk. Good on ya for stepping up.
Addison
No problem. Let’s get started.
picks up her paintbrush again, her voice dripping with sarcasm Alright, Mr. Genius, let's get this masterpiece underway.
Addison
I’ll help.
As they continue working on the painting, Addison and Lila develop a deeper connection, finding common ground and mutual respect.
Addison
the next day Wow, that came out great!
looks at the finished painting, a proud smile spreading across her face See, Mr. Genius? Art has the power to inspire and uplift.
Addison
Absolutely. I want to buy that painting for my family’s museum.
raises an eyebrow, feigning shock Are you serious, Mr. Genius? You want to display our collaborative masterpiece in your family's prestigious museum?
