Daily Life -I’m Sorry I Love You VIII (C0090)

A: Veronica! Veronica! Veronica! Are you OK?
B: Steven! What’s going on! Who were those guys? I didn’t know you have a gun! What’s going on!
A: I will come clean as soon as we get to safety, OK? For now, you have to trust me, please! I would never do anything to hurt you.
B: Steven, I...
A: Okay, run! I haven’t been completely honest with you Veronica, I’m sorry. I’m not a fireman. I’m not even from the United States. I’m a spy for the
Indian government.
B: What? Why didn’t you tell me before? What are you doing here?
A: When I was a young boy, I used to play cricket¹ my father back in my hometown of Hyderabad. It was a peaceful town, and my father was a renowned² chemist. One day, he was approached by members of the CIA, claiming that my father had made the discovery of the millennium³ in his small lab back at the university where he taught bio-chemistry. I never saw him again. I vowed⁴ to discover the whereabouts of my father and consequently joined the Indian Intelligence Bureau.
B: What does that have to do with those men shooting at us? Most importantly, why did you lie to me!
A: I’m sorry, I wasn’t supposed to meet you. I wasn’t supposed to fall in love with you, but you have to believe me when I tell you that what I feel for you is real.
B: I can’t believe this! Why are all these things happening to me! I can’t take it anymore! Let me out of the car!
A: Veronica, wait
