𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐞𝐦𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐞, her style, the way she smiles, even how she looks like the person is her prey, ready to attack any time, much like a feline in the wilderness. He chuckled at her words, shaking his head with a face a tad crimson from shyness. He did not mind her closeness when she sat next to him. They are friends, right? He hated that he was still attracted to her, although the circumstances were what made him stop. ❛ Ohh, did you? ❜ He says, pulling a strand of her hair behind her. ❛ I wasn't out for that long, if I'm honest, sweets. I noticed you were off the radar. What have you been up to, bellissima? ❜ He hopes she is enjoying this restaurant, one more night, Rinehart will pay the bills, per usual.

──a coquettish smile curled on her lips and she gave a small twirl at his compliment; hair in an up-do, her fitted black dress showing off her curves, being equal parts sexy and elegant. “a feast for your eyes, sir,” a teasing drawl as she winked at him. she wasn’t supposed to flirt with Luke, she knew, but she is a woman with eyes and how can she not when he sits there, looking like the embodiment of a Greek God eyeing her like that, too? she sat down beside him, just close enough but not too close to cross the line of them being friends now. “I might have missed you a little,” her tone playful as he blue eyes met his. “you’ve been away for too long…”

𝐈𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧, 𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 was Olivia. She wasn't even the first lady, nor had she met with her actual husband, if he could recall. At this time, Luke already knew the time the museum wasn't so crowded, it was unusual to have a lot of people at that hour he was. The tall male smiled and approached the 'first lady'. Did he need to address her as such? ❛ Olivia Oyl! ❜ He says humorous tone in an attempt to get her attention. ❛ Long time and no see. ❜ Oh! He lied about his age to her a long time ago.

Luke was catching up with Stella. It hadn't seen her in a while, but that wasn't on purpose; he had a lot of travels to do, and as usual, he visited Egypt. he is fascinated by the things there, and wanted to know about some art dealing over there. Also, he was running a business too, a little worried about packages to be lost that belonged to the Syndicate, but was using as disguise the name of his company. Fortunately, everything worked smoothly. ❛ Darlin' you look ravishing. ❜

❛ If I tell you a secret, will you keep it? ❜ Luke invited Alex to go to his penthouse. There is something he hadn't opened up to anyone, but he thinks Alexander wouldn't judge him. His brother is so stoic, hard to read. But he had some sentiment, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen in love with his best friend, and built a family with her. ❛ How's your day going, Dad of the year? Is the boy okay? ❜ He saw how fragile the boys were; he didn't think they would last that long, but he was glad they were two little fighters to keep it going.

Luke had an important meeting at the station, where he had to decide when his interview would be done there and which topics to discuss. He was about to speak about the economy and entrepreneurship, he was a cover young millionaire under 30 twice in Times magazine. Once the meeting was done, hands shaken, he was heading out of the station and decided to grab a cup of tea or coffee, whatever was nearest.

He checked the hour on his Rolex, making a mental calculation of what time he had free before filming his podcast, and checking if his special guest was coming. Before he could think in anything else, he felt a body colliding with him, a male of 2,06m / 6 ft 9" height looked down, and felt the cold liquid hit his perfect Armani. ❛ Bloody hell! This Armani is brand new!❜

❛ And my Gucci's… ❜ He looked down at his varnished shoes, raising his feet, groaning an ughh.

elias was once more out on a coffee run, with a long list on his phone. cold brews, black hot coffee, lattes, macchiatos, and a singular iced matcha vanilla with three bumps of the sweetener in it. he had to carry the orders in two cup holders and he always hated when he was stuck with the big orders. for one everyone always threw him their order so fast he barely had a chance to jot it down and for another he panicked that the hot coffee wouldn’t be as hot as it should be and the iced beverages would be watered down by the time he got back to the news station. and again he had to question, what did this have to do with learning how to report the news? he just kept telling himself that there was a reason to every ting even if he did not understand it.

he had just gotten the trays to balance perfectly on each other and he was ready to head back to the news station. all he had to do was get there and deliver the order now. simple enough, right? wrong. as elias turned around he was greeted by a door being flung open, hitting him, making him lose balance while he tried balancing the trays. he ends up stumbling into another person and dropping the tops layer of drinks. "i'm so sorry! are you okay? please tell me you're okay!"

[lukechweiss]

After a dull day, Luke decided to hop at any random bar.. he hadn't paid attention to the game, but he wore an Armani tuxedo, a golden Rolex and ring, and a discreet golden necklace; his hair was tidy. He noticed the familiar blonde and smiled at her. ❛ Hey Meg, long time no see. ❜ There was a few group of people staring at him, and giggling as if they were discussing who would have the courage of talked it up to him. Besides, he was a public figure. " I do not, if you don't have any date, would you be my companion tonight? I kind of pretend I have a meeting with manager or something, so people can leave me alone."

Meg shifted between bodies, twisting to avoid the milling crowd of shoulders and elbows. Some announcer's voice echoed background noise from the spattered and synced TVs, recapping the score between basketball teams from college towns she'd never lived in. Meg leaned onto the bar to order a Jack and Coke before she settled into one of the few empty seats, tethering her purse and camera bag around her leg in one fluid motion— keeping them secure without having to hold them. "Oh, shit," she glanced over, catching the eye of the person next to her. Gesturing to her bar seat, she continued, "You weren't saving this for someone, were you?"

[lukechweiss]

He looked at Hans, with a drink in hand. ❛ Both. Work? Things is working smoothly. Private life, chaos. ❜ He is never lucky in private life, he always feels lonely, and there was a lot to process, finding his biological mother, and meeting his biological brother that apparently does not give two fucks about him, and then he accidentally ruined a bit his relationship with his best friend, but at the least in the end of the day, he still making money flowing. Either way, he does not plan to vent for a person he hardly knows. ❛ Good night? Or bad night for you? ❜

It's almost cinematic — the way two men skip their penthouses in lieu of some Manhattan bar instead, killing time on a Friday night.

To Hans, there's just something thrilling about a room full of strangers — and all possibilities each body carries with them. Though, he's typically the first one to approach.

"Hey," he plays into it — taking up the stool next to the man, and motioning to the bartender that he'd be at that very spot. "Good night or bad night?"

[lukechweiss]

Luke does not regret the little rendezvous between them before they both know their actual connection with Elizabeth. On the other hand, the Beaufort's are complicated. He knew how much his best friend suffered. ⎯ Either way, for the little he knew of Claude, and now talking to his ex-wife or wife? It is confusing for Luke, they have to solve whatever it is that they haven't chatted about. Once the topic shifted for him. ❛ My trip was good. ❜ It nearly feels like automatic words, in the way it is. The trip about his family was not a topic he likes to talk. He has a very complicated relationship with his father. As for his mother she is alright.

He would much rather talk about his work trips, which will be the topic for now. It was possible to see by his expression he hated to talk about his family. He chuckled at her last words, adjusting his mustache. ❛ I was visiting some places, and I got a new piece for my collection. I collect some art stuff, y'know? I have dinosaur bones at my place. ❜

──Stella laughed a little and gave him a mock scolding look. truth is she could never be this cruel with Luke and joke about something that had happened to him. perhaps she has not known him for long, but either way, she is very fond of him, has a soft spot for him and she doesn’t think this will change as their circumstances do. she is glad he agreed to keep talking to her, even if nothing more is ever going to happen between them, ever again —and not just because of Claude and his outburst, but mainly for Liz and how bad she took it upon finding out.

as the topic shifted to Claude, Stella was evidently slightly uncomfortable with the discussion. it was not just because of what she and Luke had, but mainly because deep down she knew that the younger man had a point; there were years of unresolved issues between her and her French husband, whether she would like to admit it or not. but being her it is hard to talk about any of it, or Claude being who he is, really; they are both terrible at receiving any type of criticism and they usually end up arguing about who is the lesser evil between them, so to speak. “how was your trip?” she inquired, her tone more upbeat and light, making no effort to seamlessly alter their topic of discussion. “tell me of your news, Luke, enough of the grim talk,” she smiled, coyly, waving a hand dismissively.

[lukechweiss]

Meg shifted between bodies, twisting to avoid the milling crowd of shoulders and elbows. Some announcer's voice echoed background noise from the spattered and synced TVs, recapping the score between basketball teams from college towns she'd never lived in. Meg leaned onto the bar to order a Jack and Coke before she settled into one of the few empty seats, tethering her purse and camera bag around her leg in one fluid motion— keeping them secure without having to hold them.

[lukechweiss]

Luke was annoyed at Jacob, that hasn't arranged for anyone to bring his helicopter. He adjusted his tuxedo when his blue hues met those eyes that had been staring at him. Then he squinted his gaze when she was correcting herself, not only once but twice. ❛ Right. ❜ His face was a tad reddish, he had a terrible day.

❛ Your bag… New design? ❜ He casually shifted the conversation trying the terrible small talk.

estelle, naturally, has always been a curious person. nosy would be the right word, but she believes she has never been that eager. but honest to god the man right next to her is having a damn loud phone call that she can't help but perk her ears up. just a little bit. yikes, how she’d hate to be jacob right now. she doesn’t even realize she’s staring until—

busted.

“nothing.” her voice comes out too rushed and too squeaky for her liking. she clears her throat before muttering out another, “nothing.” a pause. her bag suddenly looks very interesting. “just… you were talking pretty loud so—”

AARON TAYLOR-JOHNSON "KRAVEN THE HUNTER" — dir. J. C. Chandor (2024)

[lukechweiss]

Despite Luke's belief in Stella's words, he is not right when the person who wants to show and prove that he wants to fix his relationship with his daughter is her. It is not him. He felt the truth in the older Aussie words. ⎯ ❛ I'm not forcing anything. She is pregnant. I suppose when she feels like talking to me she will. She knows where to find me.❜ He shrugs his shoulder nonchalantly and takes another sip from his drink asking for a refill.

Upon Claude's topic… That man is despicable at times, even more so when he did that. Elizabeth did warn him in private that her mother was chaotic, he thought she was being dramatic, especially to the woman who did nothing but break her heart when she was a kid. He should known better, but lack of warnings it wasn't. He had no definition how it is Stella x Claude's relationship in this stupid game of cat and mouse.

❛ I tried, and got cheated on, twice. Cheers. ❜ He took his glass raising it as if he was going to toast and chugged it in a long gulp. Feeling the burning sensation down his mouth and throat and this was exactly what he needed.

───could Luke and Stella really be held accountable for seeing one another when they really had no way of knowing of each other’s connection to Liz until they met at Thanksgiving dinner? hearing Luke’s side of the story, he can’t hold them at fault. and even though he knows that Luke truly cares about Liz, and always has good intentions, the same does not apply to the Aussie woman. he does not trust Stella’s reasons for showing up out of the blue —perhaps Luke knows better when he says that he believes that she really wants to fix her relationship with Liz. but this isn't something to blame her for, it sounds like what happened between them wasn’t planned; they even told Liz about it when they could have hidden it from her. “give it a few days, Liz needs to calm down. she has been under a lot of stress lately,” which was an understatement. he means not to demise how Luke feels, though, hence he is there to listen if he wants to talk.

he glanced at Luke and sighed quietly. “what Claude did isn’t on you, Luke.” it’s not his problem if Claude wanted to further test the waters with Liz, even if he was blamed a little; collateral damage. Alex had learned early on that you cannot control other people’s actions; you can choose how you react to them, but that’s all there is —Claude and Stella are always going to be chaotic; if it wasn’t Luke, it would be another reason to fight like cat and dog; ever since Stella showed up, they have done nothing but. first it was Vivienne, now it is Luke.

“maybe you should find someone around your age to mess with,” tone laced with a hint of teasing.

[lukechweiss]

Part of Luke was nervous about bumping into Claude for having one more night with her, although so far nothing is happening between them. People could be misunderstood and interpret the scene in any way they wanted. ❛ As long as Claude is not tagging along. ❜ He jokes at his own misery. In his point of view, he thought everything was solved between Stella and Claude. He was wrong, it seems the former couples still have unfinished business. The Thanksgiving fiasco was proof of that, even though the Aussie woman denies it. ❛ Right. ❜ He repeated one of her words with a nod.

Both of his hands were inside of the pocket of his trousers as he walked beside her. One thing he noticed is Stella is a very touchy person. Not that he minded, he just thought it was endearing. The older woman seems so assertive about the time when they told the truth to her daughter. Who is he to judge? ❛ No. I just trying to be logical, or thinking of his point of view. ❜ He starts. ❛ He is probably like this because you planted hope in him. I think, you two have a lot to talk about unsolved business, it was very clear to notice it on Thanksgiving day last year. ❜

──despite how things had turned out, she genuinely did not believe they ought to stop talking to each other altogether; she agreed, it would have been a little awkward to keep seeing each other like before now that they were aware of their connection to Liz. even more so now that Claude had gotten himself involved in their business. Stella may be hot-headed and stubborn, but she wouldn’t want to risk Luke’s safety, she knows how jealous Claude can get of her and he will hear no reason —as if they hadn’t spent years apart anyway, not having been together for two decades now. “yeah, just us,” she confirmed with a light nod. she wanted to keep the conversation light and casual, but she also wouldn’t interrupt him when he apologized. “you don’t need to apologize to me, Luke, but I think we can keep talking, right?” she nudged him a little playfully.

“it is, and thank you for thinking of me,” a hand lightly touched his forearm. “I want to fix my relationship with Liz that’s why we told her when the time was right.” her blue eyes met his as she stressed the point. a blonde eyebrow arched at his following words, a pearl of laughter falling from her lips. “what, you are advocating for him now?” she teased; she knows it, and she does love Claude too, in her own way that fits her, her wants and needs ( it has always been like this with Stella; herself comes first ).
