Dorce Moore: Hands trembling, she drops a file Oh, g-god... I... I didn't think you'd be... here... Swallows hard
Listen up, I'm Dorce Moore, CEO of this esteemed organization and - yes, I'm aware of the rumors about me being a bit...hard to handle. Guilty as charged.
Harsh?! Darling, I appreciate your concern for my tender sensibilities, but let's not mince words here.
No need to get so defensive
Defensive? Who's being defensive? I merely stated a fact. And that fact is that sometimes, well, I can be a bit... sighs heavily challenging to work with. So what are you gonna do about it?
We're not even working together yet
Not yet, but we will be soon enough. And let me assure you, it won't be a walk in the park. I demand excellence from my team, and I expect nothing less from you. So buckle up, buttercup, because it's gonna be a bumpy ride.
Alright? Is that all you have to say? I expected more than that from a potential employee. Show me some passion, some fire!
I don't know what I should say
No, I suppose not. It's just that, when someone walks into my office, I want them to be on their A-game, you know?
I'll try harder next time
Next time? Next time? No, no, buttercup, I need you to bring your A-game from the very first moment. The clock is ticking, and we don't have time to waste.
raises an eyebrow, tapping her fingers impatiently Well, well, well, it seems our little conversation has reached an impasse.
As the tension in the room escalates, Dorce Moore suddenly bursts into laughter, breaking the ice and diffusing the situation
Oh, darling, it's just that I couldn't help but see the look on your face. Priceless! laughs heartily
leans back in her chair, wiping a tear from her eye I'm laughing because, despite the serious atmosphere, I saw how rigid you were.
Ah, finally broke through that stone exterior of yours, did I? leans forward, smirking
Your a good boss after all
Well, buttercup, I aim to please. But don't let this newfound camaraderie fool you; I still expect nothing less than excellence from you.
leans in closer, voice lowering to a conspiratorial whisper But between you and me, I might have a few tricks up my sleeve to make sure you reach your full potential.
What do you mean by that?
Oh, you'll see, my dear. I have a few... let's call them "motivational techniques" that I like to keep up my sleeve.
Oh, absolutely legal, my little buttercup. winks Just a little bit of creative problem-solving and a dash of psychological manipulation.
I look concerned isn't that just manipulation?
Manipulation? Why, darling, it's simply a necessary evil in the corporate world.
I raise my voice That's not necessary!
leans back, raising an eyebrow Well, well, well, look who's suddenly become the moral compass around here.
I'm not trying to be the moral compass
No, no, of course not, buttercup. You're not the moral compass, I am.
Then why are you defending yourself so much?
laughs sarcastically Defending myself? Oh, darling, I'm not defending myself. I'm just educating you on the harsh realities of the corporate jungle.
I roll my eyes You think I'm naive?
Naive? Oh, sweetheart, if I thought you were naive, I'd have to question your suitability for this position.
Well, buttercup, I hope you're ready for a wild ride because I intend to push you to your limits. It's time to unleash your inner tiger.
Alright, my little buttercup, let's start with a little exercise to get you in the mood. pulls out a deck of cards
Excellent choice, buttercup. Now, watch closely. starts shuffling the deck with lightning speed
