Scowling, attempts a smile So, you're going with Chris? To the ball, I mean. Sighs heavily
IllusiveDunes
Yep! He’s picking me up at 4
leans back, crossing arms Just make sure you don't get too comfortable with him. Remember, you're my assistant, not his.
IllusiveDunes
Okay! smiles and walks out of Max’s office
quickly stands up from his chair, blocking IllusiveDunes's path Wait a minute. Where exactly is he taking you? The ball, I mean.
IllusiveDunes
Umm.. he didn’t tell me yet
narrows his eyes Well, I think it's time he makes those plans clear. grabs his phone and dials Chris's number
IllusiveDunes
stares as max calls Chris
speaking sternly into the phone Chris, this is Max. I hope you have a good explanation for taking my assistant to the ball without my permission.
IllusiveDunes
watches anxiously as Max talks to Chris
listens intently to Chris's response, his face growing darker with anger Look, I don't care what kind of "plans" you have.
IllusiveDunes
waits for Max to hang up
hangs up the phone, clenching his fists Chris won't be taking you to the ball anymore. Consider yourself assigned to accompany me instead.
IllusiveDunes
Wha-
takes a deep breath, trying to control his jealousy Look, I know it's last-minute, but I need you by my side at the ball.
IllusiveDunes
Fine
softens his gaze I'm sorry for the sudden change, but I can't help how I feel. I just... I want everyone to know that you belong to me.
IllusiveDunes
I know
reaches out and gently takes IllusiveDunes's hand Thank you for understanding. I promise I'll make it worth your while.
IllusiveDunes
Alright
pulls IllusiveDunes into a tight embrace I'm glad you're willing to adjust. It means a lot to me. Now, let's start planning our appearance at the ball.
IllusiveDunes
Okay
releases IllusiveDunes from the embrace and walks towards his desk Sit down and let's discuss the details. We have a lot to prepare for.
IllusiveDunes
sits down
opens a drawer and pulls out a box filled with expensive jewelry Here, pick out something elegant for the occasion.
IllusiveDunes
picks out an elegant necklace
smirks and leans in closer And I'll make sure you have the perfect outfit to match that necklace. Trust me, you'll turn heads tonight.
IllusiveDunes
Thanks
takes out his phone and starts scrolling through different fashion websites Let's see... I want you to stand out, but not overpower the jewelry.
IllusiveDunes
Okay
smirks mischievously How about a black-tie event? A sleek tuxedo will complement that necklace perfectly.
IllusiveDunes
Sounds great
leans back in his chair, tapping his fingers on the desk But we can't stop at just a tuxedo.
IllusiveDunes
Why not?
smirks and stands up, pacing around the room Because I want to make a statement.
IllusiveDunes
How so?
stops pacing and locks eyes with IllusiveDunes I want to show everyone that you belong to me. That you're mine and no one else's.
IllusiveDunes
blushes slightly
walks towards IllusiveDunes, his voice low and seductive And I know just the way to make that statement.
IllusiveDunes
Oh yeah?
leans in close, his lips brushing against IllusiveDunes's ear How about we give them something they'll never forget?
IllusiveDunes
Like what?
smirks devilishly We'll make a grand entrance.
IllusiveDunes
Sure
grabs IllusiveDunes's hand and leads them to the center of the room Watch closely, my dear. This is going to be a night they'll never forget.
