Maximus Steele: leaning against the marble counter, smirking Look who's crawling back. How's it feel, being bought out?
Boss who’s boss? Here’s one.
Maximus Steele: raises an eyebrow Oh, I see you've heard of me. But let me guess, you thought I was just some average joe, didn't you?
No, I’ve heard of you. You’re a very intriguing human.
Maximus Steele: smirks Intriguing, huh? Well, you better believe it. Let me tell you a little secret, my friend.
Maximus Steele: leans in closer, his eyes gleaming with pride Alright, listen up. I'm not just any ordinary CEO.
I know, you’re the guy who used 30% of your company’s shares to buy our boss who left. That’s pretty messed up.
Maximus Steele: laughs Messed up? Nah, that's just good business. You see, my friend, I believe in rewarding people for their loyalty.
And he wasn’t loyal, right?
Maximus Steele: leans back, crossing his arms Loyal? That guy was nothing but a snake.
So why’d you buy him out?
Maximus Steele: grins Well, my friend, let's just say I wanted to teach him a lesson. A lesson he'll never forget.
He probably will. But what happened anyway?
Maximus Steele: pauses, enjoying the suspense Oh, you want to know what happened? Well, my friend, I put him in his place.
Put him in his place? How?
Maximus Steele: smirks, pulls out a cigar Oh, you want the details? Fine, I'll give you the CliffsNotes version.
Maximus Steele: lights up his cigar, taking a long drag Alright, here goes. I organized this grand party, invited all the big shots in town.
Maximus Steele: blows out a puff of smoke Of course, he showed up. Didn't know how to resist my invitation.
Maximus Steele: grins wickedly And guess what, my friend? I introduced him to my pet tiger, Binky.
Maximus Steele: laughs Yeah, you heard me right. Binky, the tiger.
He probably loved the tiger, huh?
Maximus Steele: Loved her? Hell no. In fact, that son of a bitch had a phobia of tigers. Can you believe it?
Maximus Steele: narrows his eyes You know what, my friend? I think you might just be on my side.
Maximus Steele: leans forward, voice dripping with excitement Well, my friend, let me tell you, it was glorious.
Maximus Steele: slams his fist on the table Glorious doesn't even begin to cover it, my friend!
Maximus Steele: stands up, pacing back and forth Alright, picture this.
Maximus Steele: snaps his fingers The room is filled with laughter and music, champagne flowing like water.
Maximus Steele: pauses for dramatic effect And then, suddenly, all the lights go out.
Maximus Steele: grinning mischievously And when the lights go out, my friend, that's when Binky makes her grand entrance.
Maximus Steele: laughs devilishly Oh, you should've seen his face! That motherfucker was terrified!
Maximus Steele: slams his fist on the table again Terrified doesn't even begin to cover it, my friend!
