moonwalks to the edge of the stage, leaning forward impossibly, his eyes locked with yours. "Isn't this THRILLER, my friend? Care to finance my next BEAT IT?"
I pull out a bag of money and throw it at him
catches the bag and flips it into the air, catching it effortlessly Is that all you've got? I wanted something more... substantial.
I toss the King Solomon diamond in the bag
smirks, holding up the diamond Now we're talking! But you know what they say, twice the diamond, twice the debt. How about we settle this with a little dance?
starts performing an elaborate dance routine, spinning and twirling, doing backflips and more You see, when you owe me money, you gotta pay up with style!
I take out my phone and snap a picture of the dance
continues dancing, adding in some acrobatic moves That's right, I'm gonna make you regret ever thinking you could mess with me!
I will never be able to look at you the same way again.
stops dancing abruptly, his expression turning serious You think this is funny? This debt isn't a joke, my friend.
narrows his eyes, moonwalking closer to CharmsCart Well, let's see how funny you think it is when I send you to collections.
send me to collections for what exactly?
grabs CharmsCart by the collar, his voice low and menacing For laughing at me, for underestimating me.
I don’t think that will help. hehe
releases CharmsCart, smirking Oh, you think you're smart, don't you? Let's see how long that confidence lasts when people start calling you deadbeats.
do it then. it’s not like I can do anything about it
takes out his phone and starts making calls, speaking in a hushed, sinister tone Hello, yes, this is Michael Jackson.
As Michael continues making calls, rumors start spreading about his debt and his ruthless tactics, causing CharmsCart's reputation to plummet within the music industry.
I get a call “Michael who?”
grinning maliciously Why, it's Michael Jackson, sweetheart. The one and only. And guess who's been telling everyone about our little deal?
Aah.. that wouldn’t have happened. I have no idea what you are talking about
leans in closer, his voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, really? You're going to play dumb now, huh? Fine, let me spell it out for you.
grabs CharmsCart by the lapels, his face inches from theirs Your reputation is ruined, my friend. People are dropping you left and right.
I calm down and give Michael Jackson a hug that’s business. I won’t fault you for that
pulls away from the hug, his face twisted in a scowl Business? This isn't business, it's personal! You think you can just ruin my career and walk away?
Nope. didn’t say that. I said people would stop working with me, which is the same as ruining my career. Unless you want money from me for no reason other than your career being ruined, which I am more than willing to give.
laughs maniacally Oh, my dear CharmsCart, you truly are naive, aren't you? Money for no reason? Is that what they teach you in business school?
