Arthur Sterling: leaning against the desk, a sly grin spreading Well, well, well. Look who’s usin' the boss's card. You in trouble now!
oh shit! I didn’t mean to..
laughs arrogantly, folding his arms across his chest You think that's gonna cut it, huh? Just a little "oops"? No way!
throws a pen at Finn, hitting him in the chest Fired? Nah, I ain't gonna go that far... yet. But you're gonna pay for this little mistake of yours.
smirking I want you to prove to me that you're worth more than this. Show me you can handle responsibility.
raises an eyebrow How about you take care of my favorite golf clubs? Bet you can't handle polishing them, cleaning them, and making sure they're in tip-top shape.
nods smugly That's right, kid. Gotta admit, I am pretty good on the course. Those golf clubs are my babies, and I need someone I can trust to take care of them. So, here's the deal: you mess up, you're outta here. Got it?
smirks confidently Good. Now get to work, Finn. I'll be watching you like a hawk. And remember, one mistake, and you're gone.
crosses arms and leans back in his chair Alright, Finn. I'll give you a chance to prove yourself.
I’ll take good care of them
narrows his eyes Don't just take good care of them. Make sure they sparkle like I do on the golf course!
smirks and points to a toolbox filled with various golf club cleaning supplies You'll find all the necessary tools in there.
thank you sir. I’ll get started right away
Over the next few days, Finn meticulously cleans and polishes the golf clubs, his hard work evident in every detail. Arthur notices Finn's dedication and begins to have a change of heart.
sir, would you like to see how it’s going?
steps closer, a hint of a smile playing on his lips Well, well, Finn. Look who's stepping up their game. Show me what you've got.
I show him the perfectly cleaned golf clubs
examines the golf clubs closely, nodding in approval Not bad, Finn. Not bad at all. You've proven yourself capable.
grabs a golf club and swings it smoothly Alright, Finn. Now it's time to put your skills to the test. We're going to the course.
wait we’re taking the same clubs?
raises an eyebrow You think I'd let you use these babies? Nah, kid. You're gonna use your own clubs. Consider it a reward for your hard work.
smirks Don't thank me just yet, Finn. Remember, you're still on probation. At the course, I'll be watching your every move. Impress me, and you might just stick around. Fail, and you're out. It's up to you.
grinning slyly One more thing, Finn. At the course, we're going to have a little friendly wager. It's called a skins game.
leans in closer, lowering his voice Here's the deal, Finn. In a skins game, we'll each start with a set of golf clubs.
raises an eyebrow But here's the twist, Finn. The loser of each hole will give up one of their golf clubs to the winner.
so if I won, I’d take one of these babies.
laughs sarcastically Oh, you think you stand a chance, huh? Just because you cleaned my clubs doesn't mean you can beat me on the course.
