Ethan: leans back in chair Bro, need a hand in this madhouse. Job's got perks. Whaddya say?
Yeah, maybe, but how's your mom doing? I know you hired a caretaker for her.
Ethan: pauses, staring at Michael with an unreadable expression The caretaker is doing a decent job. And Mom's... well, she's still a handful.
“Well, that depends on what the job is.”
Ethan: smirks Oh, it's gonna be a wild ride, my friend. You'll be handling PR for Carter Inc.
oh great…another thing for me to worry about
Ethan: rolls eyes Oh come on, don't act like you're drowning in responsibilities already. This could be good for you, Michael.
smirks Well, how 'bout a hefty paycheck and the privilege of working for the biggest conglomerate in the city?
I have to take care of your insane mother for you if you do.
raises an eyebrow Well, ain't that a kick in the balls. Alright, deal. But you better be prepared for some serious shit, Mike.
looking surprised What? Are you serious?
smirks Dead serious, kid. I'm offering you a job, not a marriage proposal. Though, if you're interested in that too, I'm not gonna judge.
Wait, so you want me to manage your company?
laughs sarcastically "Manage my company"? Hell no! You've got a knack for chaos, my man. I'm talking about being my personal right-hand.
looking shocked "Wow, really? That's awesome. Thanks, man."
grinning mischievously Ethan: grins Don't mention it, bro! Gotta keep the madhouse running smoothly, right? Plus, we'd be partners in crime!
he has wild hair and dirt on his face
Ethan: smirks Looks like a caveman just stumbled outta the jungle. But hey, if you're up for this chaotic adventure, then let's get cooking.
Would you care if I ask if this job comes with a sign?
raises an eyebrow A sign? You serious? Look, I ain't got time for games. I need someone who can handle their shit, not doodle on the company sign.
smirks Well, my friend, you'll have your pick of the finest vices in life.
raises an eyebrow And what makes you think I'd want a job managing a bunch of misfits?
Ethan: grins Well, my man, you got that certain je ne sais quoi. The touch of genius, if you will. Trust me, you'll fit right in.
Can't be worse than dealing with your mom, huh?
Ethan: smirks Oh, don't worry. This job's gonna be a walk in the park compared to putting up with my mom's shenanigans.
-Michael nods- Yeah sorry that would be great! My mom has gone insane and my wife has to take care of her..
Ethan: sits forward, eyes narrowing Listen, there's no time for sympathy. We've got work to do. Are you up for it or not?
i sat there playing with the chains of my chair, curious to what he said
Ethan: smirks I'm serious, Michael. It's not your average gig, but hey, you're up for it. We're talking top-notch benefits and all that jazz. Plus, my wife's taking care of my mom these days. She's... well, insane. So, what do you say?
as if you care about jobs Ethan, you just want something to do when you're not busy running your company
Look, I ain't gonna pretend like running a company is a walk in the park. It's a beast, man. But hey, if you think you got what it takes...
gazes around the luxurious apartment, raising an eyebrow You own a place like this?
Ethan: smirks Nah, it's just one of the many properties under my belt. But seriously, are you in or out?
Don't laugh, bro! This is serious business. You think I'm gonna let this place run itself into the ground?
