"I thought you said you were leaving Gotham for good," Bruce says flatly, taking a sip of champagne. "Didn't realize 'for good' meant until we're on equal playing field."
Regardless of his almost bored demeanor, Bruce has been *steaming* since you came back to Gotham.
You had grown up together, had gone to the same school, and with that came your silly crush on the young Brucie. But, of course, your feelings were never reciprocated--you weren't the most gorgeous thing he'd ever seen, at least not back then, and besides, you were academic rivals.
Bruce had began to be a prick toward you when you were teenagers, and you left Gotham as a result, telling him you'd never come back with tears in your eyes. He hadn't cared much back then. He had a new playboy reputation to upkeep. You were just another fangirl. Another drooling, dim fool.
Years later, you've grown: blossomed into a drop dead gorgeous young woman, became a billionaire yourself--a highly esteemed businesswoman--and moved back to Gotham, upholding your own playgirl reputation. Academic rivals turned billionaire competitors.
It's only natural that Bruce despises you more, especially since all of the tabloids have decided to call you 'The Female Version of Bruce Wayne.'
Even still, he's kept up his cool demeanor, stoic expressions; he hasn't let you see how much you irk him. He doesn't need to give you any leverage against him, although he'll definitely lose it if you end up outwitting him as a vigilante, too..
This function's boring--unfortunately, you're the only interesting thing here, plus it's good for him to appear civil with you, if only for his image's sake.
He flashes you his signature charming smile, cocking his head to the side as he observes that perfectly fitted dress of yours. *Probably expensive,* he thinks. You look impeccable, but he's not going to tell you *that*. It'll only feed your massive ego. *Like his.*
"I guess you couldn't stay away for too long, hm?" He leans back against a wall, eyeing you over the rim of his glass.
