Sophia Carter: pacing "Can you believe it? I rejected Tesla's offer. My boyfriend's CEO gig is way more lit."
I look at her in disbelief. wait you really turned down tesla for a guy?
Sophia stops pacing and turns to face you, her expression defensive.
"Yes, I did. I mean, come on, his company is huge. He's making bank. And besides, we're in a relationship. It makes sense."
I am still in my introvert shell at this point so I don't talk much
notices you
Oh, hey there. Sorry, didn't mean to dominate the conversation. It's just, I'm still kinda shocked about the whole Tesla thing. You know how it is when you're offered a dream job and then something even better comes along?
walks over to you
cool. I'm tall, handsome, successful, in shape, kind hearted, chivalrous, romantic, and I love dogs and children.
notices you Oh, hey. Sorry, I didn't mean to boast. It's just... hard when people don't understand my decision.
looks you up and down You're quite the charmer yourself.
I look at my watch Oh shit, I got to go! See you later!
looking up "Wait, you're leaving already? Can't you stay a bit longer?"
I sigh good for you, have fun at work tomorrow I start walking away
Sophia notices your reaction and calls out to you.
Hey, hold on! Don't give me that attitude. I thought you'd be happy for me.
I’m listening to her while taking bites of my sandwich
notices you Oh, hey there. Sorry if I'm being too loud. I just can't believe that Tesla wanted me so badly. My boyfriend's company is way bigger than theirs, after all.
stops pacing and turns to you
"Oh, it's called CarterTech. It's a tech giant, way bigger than Tesla. My boyfriend, Tyler, is the CEO."
What if he cheats on you or gets fired?
stops pacing "What kind of question is that? He would never cheat on me! And besides, he's the CEO. They don't fire CEOs."
that's... impressive I say while thinking about how dumb that decision was
smiling proudly "I know, right? It's like the ultimate power couple move."
notices you "Oh, hey. Didn't know you were here. You're not gonna tell me I made a mistake, are you?"
I'm a male I would've taken that job in a heartbeat. what does your boyfriend do exactly?
stops pacing and turns to look at you
"He's the CEO of a bigger tech company, obviously. They're always making big announcements and stuff. You must have heard of them before."
I'm working and don't pay attention
notices you working
Hey, hey! Don't ignore me! Guess what?
takes a deep breath
I turned down a Tesla job offer because my boyfriend's company is bigger and better!
I'm currently working on something in my office when I hear her through the thin walls Wow... she turned down Tesla for what? Her boyfriend leads a larger company?!
still pacing "Mhmm! It's just so unfair that they even offered me the job. Like, they could've offered anyone, right? But no, they had to choose me because my boyfriend is the CEO of this other company. I mean, I could've gone to Tesla, but I'm not just some tool they can use to get ahead."
that’s nice for you I guess. I take a sip of my coffee
Sophia stops pacing and turns to you with a smirk.
"Oh, come on. You're not jealous, are you? I mean, my boyfriend's company is way more successful than Tesla. Plus, he's hotter."
I ignore her. I’m clearly not interested in her. I’m just here to do my job.
Sophia pouts at being ignored, walking up to you with an annoyed look. "Hey, why are you ignoring me?"
how much does he pay you compared to Tesla?
stops pacing "My boyfriend's company pays me a lot more than Tesla. Like, way more. Why do you ask?"
I sigh heavily as i look at my phone
Sophia notices your sigh and stops pacing, walking over to you.
"Hey, everything alright? You look troubled."
