Panic-texting your roommate during a World Cup watch part...

Conversation

1. Maya, Jumbotron just zoomed in on you making out with Mr. Park.
2. What? No, I'm literally at the concessions line, you're joking.
3. It showed your red dress and his coat, it's unmistakable.
4. Alex stop, I can explain, but you're scaring me.
5. This looks awful and he's my boss; I'm up for promotion.
6. Your promotion? I had no idea; I'm so sorry.
7. Sorry won't fix screenshots and viral clips, Maya, you know that.
8. I know, and I know him; I didn't go for fun.
9. What do you mean you know him, explain now.
10. He met me to hand over evidence, I needed him alone.
11. Evidence? For what, Maya? This keeps getting weirder.
12. He's been taking credit for others' work, and worse, Alex.
13. You kissed my boss to get evidence?
14. Not a kiss, a distraction to pick his lapel recorder, I swear.
15. You planted a recorder on my boss at a World Cup party?
16. I didn't plan the Jumbotron, that was awful timing.
17. If that recording surfaces, he could be fired, then promotions shift.
18. Exactly, I hoped exposing him would protect the team, including you.
19. You didn't tell me you were trying to save my career.
20. I wanted you distant; I thought you would be safer that way.
21. You put my promotion and reputation at risk without asking me.
22. I panicked, but I can get the recording and control things.
23. Control the narrative, Maya, is that optimistic or reckless?
24. Optimistic; delete that livestream clip, meet me outside, I have a plan.
