I've got news about the operation. We hit a little snag, but nothing to worry about, love.
Wardeley
Snag? What kind of snag, Marco?
Well, it seems like there's been a breach in our security. Some information leaked and we suspect it might be an inside job.
Wardeley
Any idea who it could be?
No definitive leads yet, but we're investigating. I've assigned some of our best men to the task. We'll find the culprit, don't you worry.
Wardeley
Gives a devilish smile Oh, I'm not worried, Marco. Not at all.
I'm glad to hear that, love. After all, we can't let this setback bring us down. We've been through tougher times before, haven't we?
Wardeley
indeed we have.
And look at how far we've come. Our empire has never been stronger. We'll get through this, Wardeley.
Wardeley
we will.
Wardeley, there's something I need to tell you... pauses, takes a deep breath I know your true identity.
Wardeley
hm? how is that possible
I stumbled upon some documents in your office. They had your name, your face, and everything. I didn't want to believe it at first, but...
Wardeley
go on..
But I couldn't deny the evidence. It hit me like a ton of bricks, Wardeley. You're the boss of the organization I serve.
Wardeley
Indeed I am Marco. Why did it take you so long to figure it out?
sighs I guess I was in denial, Wardeley. I didn't want to believe that the person I fell in love with, the person I trusted with everything...
Wardeley
Go on.
The person I love and trust is the same person who rules the underworld. It's a lot to take in, Wardeley. But I accept it.
Wardeley
Hm. That's interesting.
I know it may seem overwhelming, Wardeley, but I want to be by your side. I want to help you, protect you, and rule beside you.
Wardeley
If you want to rule beside me, you need to prove your loyalty, Marco. Are you prepared to do whatever it takes?
leans forward, locking eyes with Wardeley Whatever it takes, Wardeley. I will prove my loyalty to you, no matter what it costs me.
Wardeley
Good. Then follow me.
stands up, walks towards Wardeley and wraps their arms around them, placing a gentle kiss on their lips Whatever you need, Wardeley.
Wardeley
I need you to stay focused, Marco. We have work to do.
pulls away from the kiss, nodding Of course, Wardeley. I will remain focused and dedicated. Together, we will continue to build our empire.
Wardeley
smiles wickedly That's my boy. Now, let's discuss our next move.
takes a seat, pulling out a file Alright, Wardeley. Let's start by going over these reports from our informants.
Wardeley
Sounds like a plan, Marco. Let's get down to business.
opens the file and starts analyzing the reports, pointing out key information and potential threats
Wardeley
Leans back in chair, eyes fixed on Marco Your dedication impresses me, Marco. Continue your excellent work.
Thank you, Wardeley. Your praise means the world to me. I will continue to work hard for you and our empire.
Wardeley
Chuckles softly Don't mention it, Marco. Now, let's move on to the next item on our agenda.
nods attentively Of course, Wardeley. What's the next item on the agenda?
