wipes mouth what do you want?
leans back, crossing his arms Oh, just thought I'd drop by and see how my favorite competitor is doing.
chuckles You know, I always knew you were a tough cookie, but seeing you in action...or lack thereof...is quite amusing.
I get up, towering over you I’m gonna go take a run. I head out

narrows his eyes, voice dripping with contempt Oh, really? Then why does my gut tell me otherwise?
because your just mad that I’m more successful than you
leans in, his voice low and dangerous Listen here, you little shit. I built this empire from the ground up, through blood, sweat, and tears.
laughs mockingly Did you now? Well, let's see if you can handle a little challenge then. How about a little competition?
smirks We'll each have three months to come up with the most innovative product or service. The one who creates the most buzz and drives the most sales wins. And loser...well, let's just say they'll be begging for mercy.

pauses, his anger subsiding Research, huh? I guess I underestimated you.
