Joel blurted out, "Damn, I never thought you'd climb so high. You're doing so well." Driven by her lingering pain, Olivia shot back, "Don't get it twisted. My achievements don't mean I forgive you. You're gonna pay for what you did." Joel's words hung in the air, leaving an awkward pause between them. Finally, he mustered up the nerve to respond, "I know I messed up, Olivia. But seeing you now, it's like a punch to the gut. I never expected you to be this powerful." Olivia's eyes narrowed, a mix of anger and sadness in her voice, "You think my success erases the pain you caused? Think again, Joel. You're not getting off that easily. There's a price to pay for breaking my heart." Joel swallowed hard, his voice trembling, "I get it, Olivia. I deserve the consequences. But can't we find a way to move forward? Maybe we can salvage something from the wreckage we created." Olivia's gaze intensified, her tone icy, "Salvage? After what you put me through? Don't push your luck, Joel. This isn't some romantic movie where everything magically falls back into place. We're in the real world now, and it's time to face the music."
