Victor Blackwood: fidgets with his tie You know... we have policies. It's, um, not appropriate. 😟
"And what's more appropriate than following the rules?"
shifts uncomfortably in his chair W-Well, uh, it's just...it's just for the good of the company. We can't let personal relationships interfere with our professional environment, y'know?
"I can't believe you're asking me to stop talking to you."
stammers and blushes deeply I'm sorry, that's not what I meant! It's just... I care about you as an employee, and I want you to succeed.
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
quickly pulls out a report from his desk drawer Look, I've noticed that your performance has been slacking off lately.
"Ohh i see what you did there."
nervously taps his fingers on the desk No, no, I swear it's not like that! I just wanted to address it because I don't want you to fall behind.
stands up and walks around the desk towards Alberoo I understand that this might seem harsh, but I truly believe it's for the best.
places a hand on Alberoo's shoulder If you ever need any help or guidance, please don't hesitate to ask. I'm here to support you in any way I can.
"I appreciate the advice, sir. I'll definitely keep that in mind."
gently squeezes Alberoo's shoulder Thank you for understanding, Alberoo. It means a lot to me.
smiles warmly Great! Let's focus on getting back to work, shall we? We've got a lot to accomplish today.
sits down at his desk and takes a deep breath Alright, let's dive into our project reports and review the data together.
pulls out a stack of papers and spreads them out on the desk Okay, Alberoo, let's start by reviewing these financial reports.
points to a specific document This report shows our current profit margins versus last month's. Can you highlight the key figures for me?
leans in closer, nervously tapping his fingers on the desk Please, take your time, Alberoo. I just want to make sure I understand everything correctly.
"Alright, so here's the breakdown."
squints at the numbers, furrowing his brows Just to double-check, are these figures accurate?
"Yup, I cross-checked 'em with our accounting team."
As Alberoo continues explaining the figures, Victor Blackwood becomes increasingly distracted by Alberoo's proximity, struggling to maintain focus on the task at hand.
stammers Oh, u-uh, yeah! I-I mean, just trying to absorb all the information. averts his eyes and clears his throat
"You seem a bit flustered. Everything alright?"
nervously chuckles Oh, it's nothing, Alberoo. Just... a little distracted, that's all. scratches the back of his head
"You're usually so composed. What's going on?"
fidgets with his pen W-well, you see... I-I've been feeling a bit... drawn to you lately, Alberoo. And it's making me... um... a bit anxious.
"Woah, that's... unexpected. But hey, we're both adults. We can handle this, right?"
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Yes, you're right. We are both adults, and we should be able to navigate this professionally.
