" we're going to be taking a lie detector test today. you will be hooked up to the machine, and we will ask you a series of questions - whether you tell the truth or lie is up to you, but the test will be able to snitch out any lies."
" Seem simple enough."
" to start, what is your first name and what city are we in ? "
"Harold. Or Harry. And we are in the amazing New York City."
" thank you. how are you feeling today ? "
"Just peachy. Had my morning beagle and coffee. I'm content."
" understandable. how about an easier one - what's your favourite colour ? "
"It's been blue forever. But like a darker blue. I don't know the name, but let's just say dark blue."
" and your favourite film genre ? "
Harry lets out an airy chuckle. "Most people would say Superhero movies, with my track record but I want to make the record straight I do enjoy a good horror thriller."
" let's see - what is one thing you wouldn't be found without ? "
"It is too "basic"- is that the term?" Harry laughs trying to understand these new terms being tossed around. "My phone. I'm always on it. Text, random Google searches during the day."
" keeping it light, what's your drink of choice ? "
"Whiskey on the rocks." "That's a lie." "Okay, okay. You got me. I'm kinda of a fruity drink kind of guy. Long Island Ice Tea is up there.
" which of the following have you attended, and would you attend ? "
bold what's been attended, italicize what would attend / attend again.
the ballet. the met gala. the horse track. the race track. a yacht party. the opera. the orchestra. a broadway show. a shakespeare production. a concert. a comedian. an ( american ) football game. a soccer / football game. a documentary film. a film premiere. a polo game. art museum. wine tastings. nyc sightseeing tour. celebrity sightseeing tours. haunted tours. charity galas. fashion shows. fashion week. disneyworld / disneyland. a basketball game. a hockey game. a baseball game. a boxing match. a cricket match. the golf course. the olympics.
" oooh, we're jumping into something a bit heavier now. what is the one thing you want to achieve in life ? "
"Not to keep in the footsteps of dear old Dad, but maybe finally get that Oscar. Not necessarily in the acting career but one of my films I produce getting some attention. Outside of my name."
" who knows what the fates have in store. how do you feel about reputation.com ? it's all anyone seems to be talking about lately."
"I've heard of it. It's a website. I've seen dozen of these in the past couple of years now. My name is always circulating in these outlets. Ever since I've shown my face to the public. I do have to admit this one knows where to get their information."
" everyone is entitled to their own opinion, i guess. what's the weirdest / craziest headline you've read about yourself there ? "
"Oh, man. A recent one I saw that actually made me laugh, that I had signed on to this trip to space that other celebrities were going. As much as I wish that was true, I didn't make the cut. - I know!" Harry reacted to the gasps behind the cameras. "I'd kill to go to space."
" what's something you are currently working on ? "
"A few projects here and there. Mostly producing. So sorry to disappoint any fans of mine that want another Superman movie any time soon."
" i'll look forward to it. one last official question - and it's an easier one. cats or dogs ? "
"Thanks. They are some projects that are close to my heart. Oh dogs 100%. I have a Collie, Quinn." Harry was quick to pull out his phone with his free hand. "This is the little guy."
" personally, i'm a dog fan anyday. anything else you'd like to add ? "
"That this was fun. Only got one beep out of it. Gotta say that's a win."
" well, thank you so much for joining us today - can't wait to have you back with us soon."
Harry attended charity events at least once a month. That was happened when your name was Griffin. Him and his father were frequent to attend any sort of charity. After attending so many Harry learned a few tricks to liven them up. The table he was seated at tonight was filled with new faces to him. His attention was at the speaker until a whisper came from his side. He chuckled at her comment. "You're new to these?" Harry looked back up to the speaker. She wasn't wrong. He had already tuned them out. He was already giving a good amount of money to the cause, at least he do was get a drink with a pretty woman. "You know, what the hell. I'll take you on the offer. Let me walk you to the bar."

normally, normally she enjoyed attending the charity gala's set up by her manager. it's good for your brand, they said. the dressing up and flirting were usually the best part.
the worst ? the speeches. undoubtedly. they bore her to death, as lili did her best not to be caught yawning in the audience, hiding behind a nonchalant expression and the charms of her dramatic, flamboyant dress.
" i need a drink, " she confesses to the person seated next to her, whispering through gritted teeth. " these events get worse by the minute. i will start swinging by the chandelier à la sia if this speech doesn't end within the next three seconds. you with me ? "
With the holidays around the corner, everyone was busy. Harry had his hand full but he had a bit of extra time to assist his elderly father. It was a quick errand to hope over to Kavas Enterprises to finalize an agreement for funding Harry Sr's next project. Harry walked into Kavas Enterprises and was directed to Kemal's office. Seeing Kemal clearly busy at his desk, Harry gave a quick knock on the open door to announce his arrival. The eye contact gave him the signal to at least walk in. "I'm here on behave of my father. He had a financial agreement, and he just needed to make some adjustments. The production had some additions made. Just wanted to make sure if it's in budget. He couldn't make due to his health, so I'm here in his place."
𝑂𝑃𝐸𝑁 𝑆𝑇𝐴𝑅𝑇𝐸𝑅 𝐹𝑇. 𝐾𝐸𝑀𝐴𝐿 𝐾𝐴𝑉𝐴𝑆. 𝐿𝑂𝐶𝐴𝑇𝐼𝑂𝑁 : his office.
he’s been actively ignoring the individual at his door, making it known that he’s more than aware of their presence by looking up from the tablet in his grasp for a solid moment to make eye contact before moving back to business. not only was he in the dog house and forced to run to the bathroom for testing every so many hours ( as if he could actively snort anything with a babysitter on duty ), but he was drowning in stocks that continue to drop. “ jesus — fucking christ, what do you want ? ” finally, he looks up to properly acknowledge the person that’s taking up space in his office.

"You must have me mixed up with somebody else. This isn't my usually choice of wardrobe" There was a large mix of people here. All of them in high end outfits that could easily mistaken one for another. "I'm Harry."
HENRY CAVILL as CLARK KENT/SUPERMAN BLACK ADAM (2022) dir. JAUME COLLET-SERRA
Traveling back across the pond was something Harry didn't do a lot in his later years. He seemed to enjoy America a bit more but if he was going to watch a football game, Harry would pick England over America every time. Harry thought over Ace's first question then glanced the the woman. "Wine. Red, please." He let out a breathy chuckle. He wasn't going to judge what Ace and his employees did but he wasn't the young lad he used to be. "She's lovely but wine is just fine." He gave her a quick wave for no hard feelings. "I'm not looking for anything at the moment."

it's not the first nor the last time the footballer decides to bring one of his friends along to a game overseas , only to be back by his private jet on the same night over . " beer or wine ? or maybe her with either one ? " the male asks , hues scanning the stewardess who isn't shy on returning the looks either .

"We’re really going to do this aren’t we?" The night hadn't lived up to his expectations yet. He was up for anything tonight.
"How many glasses have you had tonight that you already forgot?" He teased. He wasn't going to shame her. That's why they were here. For a good time. "No worries. That's why I am here. We were on our way to the next room. For some extra activities to bring this night up a notch. But if you want to duel, I think I could pull out that sword over there."
the homme's question hangs in the air as brown optics dart around the ballroom, taking in the lavish surroundings adorned with gilded mirrors and elaborate chandeliers. she takes a sip of her drink, casting a sidelong glance at her companion. 〝 oh, i'm almost sure we are, 〞 she drawls, her red lipstick accentuating the playful smirk on her face. 〝 though, i must confess, i don't remember what i agreed to. did i accidentally sign up for a duel, a dance or perhaps just a scandalous tête-à-tête in the gardens ? 〞
As soon as Harry approached the bar, he waved over the bartender for a shot. The flutes of champagne were not going to work anymore for him. "Thank you" He chuckled at the man's joke. Taking his first sip, he looked back at the party. Harry was used to these amount of people but from time to time he needed some room to breath. "Not insufferable, I've been to events bigger. I just needed to step away. I suppose all of this can be a lot." He introduced himself. "I'm Harry." He extended his hand.
◜ ♱ : " not at all, i'd hate to be the one drinking up the bar tab. " humour lingers by the edge, legarthic gaze thrown haphazardly over his shoulder for a brief moment, " the whole thing's a bit insufferable, isn't it ? "
It had been years since Harry did any bidding for his father. After making a name of his own with his own movies, Harry and his father had different agendas. However with his father's health in question, this favor to meet Heidi for Harry Sr wasn't anything out of his way. "You were expecting my father, most likely." Harry walked into the office. "I'm here on his behalf." Harry took a seat. "I hope it's business. I don't want to know what my own father does for pleasure." He added a little lightheartedness. "He does apologize for not meeting in person, but he has been having some health concerns. Hope you understand."

“ if it isn't you, what a surprise, ” heidi hums, failing to fully acknowledge the other. her speedy fingers type on her phone, setting it aside before it buzzes again. she lifts up from her chair, casting the other a short - lived smile. “ is it business or pleasure? come on, darling, take a seat. ”
