Hii guys

Let get started
Vespera Asteris/FL assistant
(quietly)You’re not usually like this. Whatever happened down there… it shook you.
Zaira Veyrin/FL
(still staring out the window)It’s nothing I can’t handle.
Vespera Asteris/FL assistant
Nothing? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.
Zaira doesn’t answer. The rest of the drive is silent, tension hanging thick in the air. Once they reach her penthouse apartment, Vespera Asteris tries again.
Vespera Asteris/FL assistant
Should I call security? Maybe even the police—
Zaira Veyrin/FL
(cutting her off, her tone icy)No. If you want to help, keep your mouth shut. No one else hears about tonight.
Vespera looks hurt but nods, stepping back as Zaira enters the penthouse alone. The door closes with a soft click, leaving Zaira in the vast, dimly lit space. She pours herself a glass of wine, her hands still trembling slightly as she lifts it to her lips. The city skyline stretches out before her, glittering and indifferent. Her phone buzzes on the counter, and she picks it up reluctantly.
Zaira Veyrin/FL
📱:(answering)Yes?
Seraphina Dornan/FL Secretary
📱:(on the other end, her voice playful but curious)I heard you were poking around Valtieri Holdings tonight. Care to tell me what you were looking for?
Zaira Veyrin/FL
📱: (sighing, rubbing her temple)Where do you hear these things, Sera?
Seraphina Dornan/FL Secretary
📱:(chuckling)Oh, you know me. I have my sources. So? Did you find anything interesting?
Zaira Veyrin/FL
📱: (pausing, then deciding to deflect)Just a wild goose chase. Nothing worth mentioning.
Zaira Veyrin/FL
📱: (with a faint smile)Good thing I don’t scare easily.
Seraphina Dornan/FL Secretary
📱: (softly)Be careful, Zaira. Men like Zephyrus Valtieri don’t take kindly to curiosity.
Seraphina Dornan/FL Secretary
📱: (laughing)That’s what I love about you. Just don’t get yourself killed, okay?
