Nolan: Um sort of, our companies have certain tie-ups and the professionals interact mostly. I've only met him now.
Flynn: yeah. How's everything BTW?
Nolan: (avoids Arielle's sudden gaze at him) um It's good Mr. Flintoff, you know everything.
Flynn: No, no, Everything will be alright, don't loose hope. We are there for you.
Nolan: sure, We are so happy to have your support sir.
Flynn: No mentions Nolan, and I'm 'Flynn', don't call me sir.
Nolan: That's your nobility sir.
Flynn: Sir? (nods)
Nolan: (chuckles) Oh yeah Flynn Flynn.
Arielle: (I've got no idea what they're talking, but I somehow have a feeling that everything is connected)
Nolan: I guess I'll leave.
Flynn: hey I've just arrived, have a coffee atleast.
Nolan: Thanks for asking but I've already had with the group, maybe some other day.
Flynn: Sure. (Nolan leaves) So?
Arielle: (raises a brow) huh? (Not him starting the convo with SO?)
Flynn: Chats with old love?
Arielle: The Hell!
Flynn: (chuckles) IDK, what?
Arielle: He's my friend. (clasps her hands around her)
Flynn: oh okay. That's cool.
Arielle: hm.
Flynn: What is it?
Arielle: WHAT?
Flynn: (laughs) Easy love, what is bothering my princess? (rests his hand on the table)
Arielle: I don't know, I'm having a real bad day today.
Flynn: hmmm, I know what could help.
Arielle: (faces her) What ? tell me.
Flynn: Coffee.
Arielle: tch. (smiles later) You've had 4 mugs already haven't you?
Flynn: WAIT? WHAT?! how do you know? actually 5 but how do you know?
Arielle: (laughs) I can't beleive you Mr. Flintoff. It's 12 noon, I was just guessing, but look at you.
Flynn: These guesses. (sighs) (calls for waiter)
Arielle: No Mr. Flintoff, you're not having another. (nods)
Flynn: I-I thought maybe you wanted.
Arielle: Nope, I've had mine, and No more coffee today.

Arielle: (laughs) you have a long way to go Mr. flintoff, and this is your first step.
Flynn: don't worry darling, I'll get back to you on this.
Arielle: What? I don't have addictions. (shrugs proudly)
Flynn: woah, we're gonna see for that.
Arielle: whatever! (speaks after a minute) uh you wanted to be a basketball player, if I'm not wrong?
Flynn: um yeah, you suddenly bringing that up.(smiles while raising an eyebrow)
Arielle: yeah, I thought maybe talking about something different would clear up my messed mind. (points at her head)
Flynn: sure. (clasps his both hands on the table and leans a little towards the table)
I wanted it but then my uh-(hesitates) my(clinches his jaw) 'dad' wanted me to go to the business school abroad, And then joining for MNC, I never had a thought of basketball, I don't even remember the last time I played.
Arielle: oh, but it must be great to study abroad. (says with shine in her eyes)
Flynn: (interrupting) what is your dream Arielle?
Arielle: oh that, I wish to be a billionaire.
Flynn: (laughs) I appreciate.
Arielle: no it is my dream, what's so funny? (in anger)
Flynn: nothing. (tries his best to control his laughter)
(Complete silence for 2 minutes)
Arielle: um Flynn, actually I wanted to ask, don't you think we are having a great time, like, I-I mean we hang out, we go for drives and stuff, like maybe we should know a lil bit more about each oth-
(Flynn is looking in Arielle's eyes and is totally unaware of Stuff Arielle is talking about)
(Arielle is talking continuously only focussed about what she's saying)
Flynn: what do you think of marriage Arielle?
Arielle: (nods as she doesn't understand what he just said) yeah exactly, we have to know--
(waiter walks in) WHATTT?(totally shocked)
The waiter lands the order on the table and shakes a bit from Arielle's reaction
Waiter: (he misinterprets the situation) Ma'am are you okay? (worried) Should I call Dan sir or- (shivering)
Arielle: wa-wait, No No. I'm good, everything's good. (stammers and blinks multiple times to process everything)
Waiter: sure ma'am?
Arielle: Yeah yeah, damn sure. ( Damn sure Imma die today, not sure from panic attacks or from the sentence Mr.Flintoff nattered )
The waiter leaves
Flynn: What-do-think-of-Marriage-Arielle?
