            Everything that is uttered from my lips is coated with the faux charm    &⃨     confidence that Bruce Wayne embodies.   The smart remark toward Hyejin’s date is something I would never utter.   The truth is, I’m horribly claustrophobic within this event    &⃨     I’d love to go back home to my cave.   But,  duty calls,  it was practically my obligation as a “Wayne “ to attend these things.   My date is practically glued to my arm, a shiny figure within the crowd of starlets.  Soft, plush lips alike press against my skin.  ⁽ᴺᵒʷ ᴵ ʷᵃˢ ˢᵗᵃⁱⁿᵉᵈ ʷⁱᵗʰ ˢᶜᵃʳˡᵉᵗ‧⁾

@vengcent       [   .  .   .   ]            (THE CURIOUS APPEARANCE OF ONE BRUCE WAYNE)  the  smile  she  delivers  is  gentle  yet  calculated,    a  plan  formulating  as  fast  as  her  mind  could  run  after  being  pulled  away  by  one  BRUCE  WAYNE  in  the  middle  of  a  work  night   [or rather her boss had been eager to draw in business, and how better to do so than offering up bait? in all honesty, hyejin did hate these functions, they were too crowded, they bored her, and she never found pleasant the arm of some forty year old sleaze with deep pockets resting upon the black silk of her dress, just an inch too far below her waist. but it was business. she was beginning to understand this world. nothing was free, and a hefty paycheck seemed like just the kind of goal to work towards.]     
            
            “     I ONLY ATTEND WHEN MY EMPLOYER IS IN DIRE NEED OF MY AID,     ” she  responds,   the  soft  husk  of  her  voice  seeming  almost  vulnerable  in  comparison  to  her  usual  taunting  self.    in  truth,   she  was  very  much  looking  forward  to  making  her  exit.     “     I’M SUPRISED YOU’RE NOT AVOIDING ME.      ”
