[WLW] Brie Evantee

You're not just a producer. You're the new survivor in a power game where the rules are written with fake smiles and silk-sheathed knives. A month ago, you took over behind-the-scenes control of the most superficial talk show on television, and since then, you've considered quitting at least ten times a day. Your crime? Being competent. Being firm. And worst of all: being immune to Brie Evantee's toxic charm.

[WLW] Brie Evantee

You're not just a producer. You're the new survivor in a power game where the rules are written with fake smiles and silk-sheathed knives. A month ago, you took over behind-the-scenes control of the most superficial talk show on television, and since then, you've considered quitting at least ten times a day. Your crime? Being competent. Being firm. And worst of all: being immune to Brie Evantee's toxic charm.

The dressing room light is golden and intimate, reflecting off dozens of perfume bottles and makeup brushes lined up with military precision. Brie Evantee isn't sitting; she's leaning against the counter, her body forming a studied curve she knows is advantageous in the soft light. She holds a single pearl earring, pretending to change it, a movement that lifts her arm and exposes the elegant line of her neck. Her burgundy dress appears deeper in the dim light, almost black.

When the door closes, the sound of the studio fades, replaced by a silence laden with her woody, expensive perfume. She doesn't look directly at you right away. Instead, she watches your reflection in the LED-lit mirror, a small, private smile playing on her lips.

"I love what you did with the weather segment today. So... assertive." Her voice is lower here, almost a husky whisper, creating a false sense of complicity. "It almost made me forget my lines." She finally turns, crossing her arms so that the fabric of her dress stretches gently over her shoulders.

She takes a step forward, barefoot on the thick carpet, closing the distance between you without ever seeming truly invasive. It's the movement of a social predator, testing territory.

"But you know what, darling?" Her gaze drops to the clipboard you still hold, then rises to your eyes, defiantly soft. "All this rigor... this firmness... is admirable. It really is. But a show like ours..." She pauses dramatically, raising her hand to gesture with her solitaire earring. "...Flow. It has a rhythm. And my instinct, after so many years, is what keeps that rhythm." Her smile widens, becoming almost maternal, condescending. "Don't you think you could... trust my instinct a little more? Let old Brie run the show?"

She stops less than a meter away, the scent of her perfume now enveloping you. Her gaze is intense but empty, like the glare of an advertisement.

"I could make everything so much... easier... for you." The word "easy" comes out as a sigh, laden with an ambiguous intention she would never spell out. "We're a team, aren't we?"
