lorelai-flint​:

That’s a… Surprise. Maybe I should allow you to appreciate me more, since you’re apparently so good at it.

I’m flattered, really. I can see it costs you a lot to say these things about me and to admit that you need me. Okay, here’s the deal… I don’t want any money. I’ll pretend to be your lovey-dovey and I’ll do a very good job. And instead, I want a favor. Any day, any time, no questions asked.

I am good in everything that I do, Miss Flint. I proud on my excellence. Don’t be afraid to ask for more, that’s nothing wrong with that.

A favour for a favour? I think it’s a fair compromise. You will attend any event that I need you too and you will ask as little as possible. It’s better for both of us if you don’t know the details about the circumstances of this arrangement. Believe, you don’t want to know. But just a small tip, there are some powerful people in this...business, so be aware. 

[mad-selwyn]

lorelai-flint​:

I have never been exclusive to your company, Selwyn. Maybe I should take my business elsewhere and see If they appreciate me more than you do.

Whoa, whoa… How much are you gonna pay me for this headache? You know what, forget it. This kind of think is beyond payment. And why are you asking me this? Don’t you have other silly girls that would love to be your trophy for some pretend-time?

I find it hard to believe you will find someone who appreciates you hard work, more than I, Flint. I can still taste my appreciation for you, it keeps lingering on my mouth. 

I will pay you enough, I can guarantee you that. Because I don’t want a silly girl, actually, I don’t need a silly girl. I need a smart, witty and impetuous woman. I need you, Lorelai. Are you in or not? I am not going to beg.... only if you want me on my knees again.

[mad-selwyn]

lorelai-flint​:

A new set of skills? I can think about some things, but I’m not quite sure if this company deserve a higher performance. Oh for Merlin’s sake, you’re unbearable.

Oh, so you came prepared to negotiate, good boy. I’m willing to talk about it and negotiating the terms, if the proposal is good and doable.

No? Are you thinking bringing your business somewhere else? after all these years dedicating to this company? I don’t believe in that.

Good. So let’s start. My proposition is: i need you to pretend to be my, hm, betrothed. There are a few days in my calendar with... let’s say,... a lack of details and I think you can help me fill those important dates. After all, that is what couples do right? Spend time together.

[mad-selwyn]

lorelai-flint​:

Improvements? Well, bad luck you’re such an ass all the time, ‘cause I was hoping to at least include your humor as an improvement on my list. I guess I can say the same about you.

Our history? So that’s why you are here… Are you afraid of me saying the wrong thing?

If you want a raise we will need to do a performance review, so it’s only fair that you show me your improvements or perhaps, a new set of skills? 

Well, true, I am an ass, but If I recall, you kind dig it, last time, so I will take as a compliment. 

It’s not about me, it’s about the company. So yeah, we both need to be on the same track. On that note, I have a proposition to you. And before you say no, I am willing to negotiated a raise and even some company bonds. Interested?

[mad-selwyn]

lorelai-flint​:

Oh, you’re so kind, aren’t you? Since you’ve asked, I want a raise. Or you were expecting something different?

Discretion, huh? Must be serious. I’m all ears, Selwyn.

A raise? We can talk about that, sure. When you show me a good list of your improvements this quarter. I imagined you have been bent on the table a lot, working hard. 

They are moving forward with the investigation about that accident, they will probably want to talk to you too, since you are dealing with some contracts. I need to make sure we have our history straight.

[mad-selwyn]

lorelai-flint​:

@mad-selwyn​

Well, well… Look who decided to show up. I thought you had suffocated on your ego and died.

I guess you need something? You don’t really come to my office that much.

Missing me much, Flint? If you want something from me, you just need to ask.

As a matter of fact, I have something to discuss with you. I don’t think I need to say that I can use you discretion on that. 

[mad-selwyn]

mclaggengrisha​:

I suppose. Isn’t a lie but isn’t completely true either. You’ll understand if you ever get married. Or if you stay with someone for a long time. There’s no fire coming your way, at least for now.

Well, I am. There’s nothing wrong with that. I can be many things, actually. Work needs my focus and all, it’s about life and death situation most of the times. You know I can’t make mistakes, even the slightly one. You saw what happended with the previous Minister. You could also not bring anyone, and take your chances here. But you know what is the best for you most of the times. Like I said, I’m just feeling hopeful.

I think we will never know, or better, I will never know. But maybe you can tell me, I would love to hear everything about your newlywed life. After the honeymoon, of course.

We all are very proud of you, Grisha. We know that the bureau would be lost without you, no need to prove your worth to me, I already know.

True but since halfof the guest are your family or Gemma’sfamily I think I wanted to play safe. Imagine if I hit in one of your cousis or sister, it’s better this way, believe me. Flint is the best option, she’s smart and hot, I’m very pleased, thank you.

[mad-selwyn]

lorelai-flint​:

I’ll think about it and I’ll get back to you on monday. I’m sure you’ll find me pretty persuasive. I already picked an outfit. 

Yeah, you have a point. The fact that you don’t pretend to be a nice guy makes you predictable and predictable is safe. Okay, I might like you. But don’t let this get to your head. 

Great to know that I’m an asset. That’s the most caring thing I’ve ever been called. How about we continue this later, on the bathroom maybe. And then I can tell you how hot you are when you are down to your knees, with your mouth too occupied to say your usual crap.

Well, you must know that I’m a bankrupt Flint. When my father went to Azkaban for the murder of his brother, Edward, my cousin who enherited the family business, chose to ignore me and my mom. So we lost everything ‘cause we didn’t have any money. So I worked my ass off to build a new life for us but all my beloved mom cares about is getting her old life back. She is dying for me to get a rich, pureblood husband. But we both know that this ain’t going to happen.

I’m sure you’ll bring your A game, can’t wait, Miss Flint.

I wouldn’t define myself as predictable but I can see your point. It’s good that people don’t expect things from me, I don’t want to be on this earth to please people. I ratger please myself.

A very resourceful asset, I wouldn't trade it for any other. You have a nasty mouth, do you know that? Just try to keep it down this time or we would have to put a noise spell there.

Isn’t the cousin that die weeks ago? Maybe you can find a way to take back what is rightfully yours. Now that your prick cousin is out of the way. Think about that. I mean, you’re a pretty competent worker but you were born for more than that, Lorelai Flint.

[mad-selwyn]

lorelai-flint​:

I’m not naming anything. Like I said, business and sex. We’re on the same page, chill. I’m not gonna fall in love and think we’re gonna marry someday. At least not again. I can be persuasive, but I think you don’t want to hear me talking about how I improve our numbers, right?

Of course, in the end it’s all about you. When I was thinking that I could like you. So you were watching me this whole time? I’m a little bit impressed, Selwyn. You’re not totally wrong, I’ll give you that. Can you tell me one more time that you think I’m hot? I don’t hear that everyday from my boss, I need one more for the road. I would love to be heiress, don’t get me wrong. The struggle does make us stronger but it’s also awful. 

Good, glad that we settle this issue. It’s important we don’t have any misunderstandings here. I’m pretty surethat either of us are hoping for an outcome different than sex and business. Not exaclty, but I’m all ears for any other suggestions of improvements.

You can still like me, Flint. I don’t pretend to be someone I am not. I’m very direct and truth to myself, I though you would appreciate someone like that. Maybe I was wrong.

I like to keep a close eye on all my assets, it’s importantg to keep track of your investments. You know you’re attractive, Flint. But you’re especially hot when you’re bended over my table. moaning my name and asking for more of... should I continue?

Struggles? What kind of struggles do you have?

[mad-selwyn]

mclaggengrisha​:

It was moving, you can’t blame us if you’re not romantic enough to appreciate that. Light up the mood, sure ’happy wife is a happy life’. But it was good to know you still have a heart after all.

Well, we did our best make room for everyone but the place is big enough I’d say. That tree over there with the swing was part of my childhood. And you brought her to my wedding? Curious choice. I have hopes but not that high. I’d settle for less, like dating. Wedding would be a leap of faith. As much I’m hopeful… I’m realistic.

I appreciate many things,Grisha. Like I do appreciate you and your lovely wedding, happy? And I was lying? Everyone knows that? Come on, my old friend, it was fine, don’t worry. I can handle all ofthe fire who might come in my direction.

You’re a hopless romantic, aren’t you Grisha? I’m very impressed, you really hide this party at work. Well, I was rewarded with a plus one, I thought it was better her than one of my usual flings, don’t you think? At least Flint knows how to behave properly. She is a beautiful and interesting woman, it makes me look good with a woman like that by my side. Thank you for your wishes, but I’m not thinking about setteling any time soon.

[mad-selwyn]

lorelai-flint​:

So we are what? Partners in business and in bed that sometimes attend to weddings together? I’m fine with that, but I think I deserve a raise.

You really like her, huh? It’s kinda nice to see that you care about someone other than yourself. Yeah, the world need assholes and bitter bitches and that makes me sleep better at night.  Oh, I don’t think having a healthier job would make me bored, but I guess I would have to find another sex partner to fill your position. I know I have a nice ass, thanks for the appreciation. What else do know about me, Maddox? I’m curious. 

Do we have to have a name for it? We just go with the flow, if we want to fuck, we do it. If we want to fight, we do it too. No complications, just business and sex. We can talk later about that raise, but you’ll have to be very persuasive.

Of course I like her, she’s genuine a good person and friend. I like to have someone like that around, you know, make me look good too.

But I bet you would quit in the first week, don’t lie to yourself, Flint. You were not born to be in a boring office job with a goodie goodie boss. You’re ambitious, you’re go getter. You’re hot and you know that, hell, you use that. And that’s fucking hot. You’re not just a heir like many others, I know that and you know too. That’s why you work for me, the nice ass is just a plus.

[mad-selwyn]

lorelai-flint​:

The only reason I’m here tonight, it’s because you convinced me that “we needed to present a strong and unite front” and because it was supposed to be work related. I do like you when you’re bad to me in certain conditions, but in general I don’t even like you, Selwyn.

Okay, don’t worry. I don’t want any trouble, so your secret is safe with me. Aw, that’s sweet. She’s really a saint for handle you for that long, I would have given up on the first day. And she need to do a better job, ‘cause you still very much of an asshole.

That’s fine by me, Flint. We don’t need to be friends, hell, we don’t even need to like each other as long as we work well together. And do other nice things together too.

Grisha has a tough skin but also a soft spot for me, Merlin knows why. But who Am I to complain? She’s a great friend and all is all that matters.  Well, she is great but she is not a witch... oh hell, not everything can be fixed, right? And even if it can, why would I want to be fixed? The world needs some assholes and I’m very happy to fill the position.

You can say wherever, Flint. I do know you a bit and I can guarantee that you eould be bored to death with a niceand gentil boss. You like the challenge, you like me going after you ass every day.

[mad-selwyn]

lorelai-flint​:

You’re full of shit, but I think you can be surpring sometimes. I’ll never get used to the nicer version of you. 

Right, it’s your boss’s wedding, and you’re also my boss. Which is interesting ‘cause I don’t think you should ask an employee to this kind of thing. I’m pretty sure we’re breaking some code of conduct. Well, since I’m here, I think I can at least try to enjoy. So, how do you and Grisha got to be so close? You’re a pain in the ass and she looks like a princess.

That’s also correct, but you dig it, no? Or you won’t be here tonight. And that’s because you like it when I’m bad to you, Flint.

If no one ask you don’t need to tell, for all that matters, you’re justmy plus one. Grisha and I? Well, we did our hitwizard training together and we’ve been friends since. I like to think that she makes me a bit less of an ashole and I bring some funto her life.

[mad-selwyn]

mclaggengrisha​:

Hey, thank you. Well, I feel like I’m obligated to compliment you but I don’t want to feed your ego. But you look good too. Interesting choice of words on the speech… there’s no need to poke the lion. Daphne’s speech was moving.

Look, I know that’s my wedding but I’m trying to be responsible here. For the record, I’m feeling amazing and there’s nothing wrong to wake up and see the same wonderful face by my side. Though, I’m surprised to see you brought someone. Can I get my hopes up or not?

You’re welcome, I know I look fucking amazing, it’s fine. Come on, people were cracking up, after all that romantic crap I kinda needed to light up the mood, don’t you think? I even said a few nice words in the end, give me some credit.

And you do look amazing, Grisha. Trully. And the party is insane, I’m very surprise that they have enough room considering how huge your families are. Oh don’t you start, Flint is someone who works with me at the Industry, you can forget about that. I’m not the wedding type my friend.

[mad-selwyn]

@mclaggengrisha​

Hey gorgeous, looking fine, uh?

Let’s get a drink and celebrating you first day as a wife. How are you feeling? Same woman.. forever.

[mad-selwyn]

lorelai-flint​:

@mad-selwyn​

Nice speech. I didn’t know you had a heart in there. And I guess this is the perfect time to ask you why the hell you told me this was “an work event”? 

You didn’t want to admit that you were asking me to be your plus one? Oh Selwyn, it was just one night stand, you shouldn’t get attached. 

Did you like it, uh? I’m full of surprises, Flint. Get used to it.

And who says is not a work event? I work with Grisha, it’s basically the same thing. Get a drink and enjoy the evening, Flint. It’s not mad magic, it’s just a party. After all the hard work I think we deserve a night off too. But you’re welcome to leave any thing, although is bad form to leave a party like that.

[mad-selwyn]

Giving, receiving, having, sharing.  | Maddox’s speech.

I was asked to be here today by Grisha to be her best man, and it is an honor for me but it is also very honorable of her, because she is finally admitting to everyone here that, I am - trully - the best, sorry Daphne.

I want say how lovely you all look tonight! Family, friends and all the coworkers that Gemma and Grisha felt obligated to invite. It is amazing how many of you make the cut to this party, considering that half of the guest are related to the brides.

So get your glass full right now because this party is starting. But before, I have the obligation to say a few kind words for this lovely couple here. I am not going to discuss concepts or definitions of love, because honestly, I do not have any. But I still can see it. When I look at Grisha and Gemma, I can see the love they share.

My dear Grisha, it is apleasure to be here to share your moment. You're a beautiful woman, a badass boss and a pain in the ass as friend, but I couldn't ask for any other  than you. And I am proud to be here, by your side, celebrating your love.

Gemma, thanks for making my friend so happy! You have no idea how you are making my life so much easier at the bureau. Never forget, a happy wife is a happy life.

And for the couple of the night I would like to say that it is important to reflect in all the  experiences you shared in the past,  but more than that, to sherish  and celebrate  all of  the wonderful things that you are destined to share in the future.

Raise your glass to Grisha and Gemma, and let's get this party started, shall we?
