[007] playing coy
Things had quickly gone downhill the moment Kendall and Roman were set to be in charge. Like... really fucking bad. Waystar's stock was plunging dangerously low, and Kendall was freaking the fuck out. Roman was too, although he didn't necessarily show it. It was obvious that neither of them knew how to do shit without their dad around. And they were both careful to hide the news from their father while they tried to fix everything.
Roman was stressed out and whenever he felt that way, he decided to call up the one person he knew could cheer him up.
He immediately noticed that Alice was a little more cheerful than usual. Despite things going well at Moderne, he knew that couldn't have been the reason. More than likely, it was due to another man in her life. Roman was curious to know who the new asshole in Alice's life was going to be this time.
And he was going to coax the answer out of Alice the best way he knew how.
"Thank you for this. I certainly need it. You don't even want to know how stressful today was," Alice scoffs before taking a large sip from her glass, head tipped back. "Although, I can imagine that it's still a lot better than yours. Sorry to hear about how things are going at work."
"We're pretty fucked right now. If Dad hears about it, he'll chop our dicks off and keep it swimming around in some jar," Roman huffed. "So let's just hope he doesn't."
