RYBAK:
Goodness, what's with this captivating perfume scent? It's mesmerizing and reminds me of someone, but I can't quite put my finger on who. Anyway, I shouldn't get too distracted. After all, this is just a business proposal, no strings attached! I can't help but notice her long, wavy hair and adorable earrings. And those accessories she's carrying? I have no idea what they cost, but they look expensive!
Ugh, my head is spinning with all the drinks I had with earlier.
Wait, what's happening? Is she touching me now?
“Excuse me? What the – Daphney?!!”
Daphne: (Whispers) Wohoo, if isn’t my hot shot manager
Rybak: Could you stop that?
Daphne: you want me to go down sure!
Rybak: (coughs) covers his mouth using tissue
Katy: Psst Daphne! Hand him water.
Daphne: Sure mom.
“How about some water Mr. Rybak?”
Rybak relaxes himself after drinking water and tries to maintain his composure.
Robert: Daphne what have you been doing these days?
Daphne: I sell books!
Celine, amused by their interaction, joins in.
Celine: Daphne, you're quite the charmer. I'm sure you could sell anything.
Daphne: Well, I've certainly sold myself for this family.
Celine: (tries to brush off) Oh my, you have quite a humorous girl! Well let’s about you both. What do you think about our son?
Daphne: Oh yes aunty! I cannot resist his sexy back or his Greek face with full juicy lips.
Charles: Mind your language, Daphne!
Daphne: Eh? Dad I’m just doing like you asked for! Being honest!
(Towards Celine) I find him very attractive to birth even 100 babies. I’ll be your good daughter – in – law!
Celine and Robert hesitantly smile while Rybak angrily stood up and Daphne spanks him.
Making everyone freeze in their seats while Rybak drags Daphne with him to the bathroom.
Rybak: WTF do you think you’re doing?
Daphne: I’m appreciating my husbands’ goods!
Rybak: Daphney, we were in good terms, and you do notice my interest in men!
Daphne: Not an issue Ray! I love you despite that.
Women passing by: Wow, look at that couple! They're so gorgeous, like something out of a novel!
Daphne: Hey ladies! I'm a novelist, you know.
Woman: Oh, really? What kind of novels do you write?
Other woman: She looks like she writes children's books.
Daphne: (smirks) Actually, I write how to make children!
Women: Oh my!
Daphne: (points to Rybak) I've been eyeing that dessert all night. Excuse me, ladies! (winks)
Rybak: Women can be so dramatic.
Daphne rolls her eyes and says, "Want to go back to the boring dinner or my place?"
Rybak: Your place sounds like a nightmare compared to here.
Daphne: Suit yourself, but Rafael is waiting for me, and we have work to do...
Rybak: Fine, I'll come along since it's work.
Daphne: (wall slams him) You’re so cute when it comes to Rafael! Now let’s just go…
As Daphne leaves the place, her addictive perfume and stunning looks linger in Rybak's mind. He can't shake off the impression she made.
For the first time, he feels his heart skip a beat, a sensation that catches him off guard. Rybak's expression remains stoic, but the encounter has left an indelible mark on him.
RAFEL:
(At Daphney’s bedroom)
“I can’t believe I lost Ms. Daphney’s visiting card! I think I left it somewhere now…where is it? Where is it?”
Rafel then finds the card nearer to the dustbin and he came across a torn-out paper. What this could be?
FLASH BACK
Daphne after having argument with her dad, Daphne heads back to her room to re -read the script and starts blushing with the fact that the beginning itself is too strong.
“Aish, me and my drunken brain, can’t let both to see this sexist script! Shit, got to start from the scratch!”
Daphnes tears the paper from her notebook and throws into the dustbin.
PRESENTLY
Rafel: OH.MY.GOD! How – wha – I don’ t think, I can do this much with Mr.Rybak.
When Rafel was all flustered with the note, Priscelle enters with tea and cookies.
Priscelle: Are you ok sir? Do you feel sick?
Rafael: AH,,NO..NO..I’m fine. Something urgent came up, I gotta go.
Priscelle: But sir, Daphny mam is already on her way back home.
honk honk
Priscelle: Kindly sit here sir, she has arrived!
Rafel: Fuck, how am I supposed to face both of them now?
