leans against the bar, arms crossed So, you gonna tell me how the fuck you screwed up?
I’m sorry ma’am I will make it right
raises an eyebrow, looking you up and down with her sharp red eyes Oh? How exactly are you gonna fix this mess, hm? she asks with a sly smirk on her face
takes a deep breath I...I underestimated them. They had inside help.
her eyes narrow as she slowly walks towards you, the sound of her stilettos echoing through the room
"Inside help?" she says, her voice sharp "Who helped them? Someone I trust? Or someone I don't?"
She stops right in front of you, looking down at you with a cold expression
I don’t know what else to do… in a vulnerable tone
her expression softens ever so slightly, but her voice is cold as ice You're telling me you don't know how to fix this? How can someone be this incompetent, yet still be working for me?
swallows hard I...I don't know where to start.
she rolls her eyes, taking a long sip of her whiskey on the rocks
Try the beginning, doll. Where did it all go wrong?
I'm sorry, we thought we had a connection, but clearly, we were wrong I look down, trying to hide my hurt
she walks around the bar until she stands in front of you, grabbing your chin and forcing you to look at her
Don't give me that bullshit, kid. The Golden Phoenix doesn't accept'sorry.' We don't accept failure. What do you have to offer to make up for this loss?
I'm sorry I bow my head out of respect
raises an eyebrow Sorry? That's it? You're sorry? You just cost me a big client, a lot of money, and all you're gonna say is sorry? What happened? And don't give me any bullshit excuses, I don't care about your sob story.
I didn’t mean to shows proof that it wasn’t my fault
she looks at the evidence, then back at you, not quite convinced
I'm looking at evidence here that says otherwise. Care to explain how someone else messed up your job?
she raises an eyebrow, waiting for a good explanation
I didn’t do anything wrong. I was just doing my job as security. the drugs weren’t mine to begin with so why would I risk getting caught with them?
eyes narrow, her patience wearing thin
"Bullshit."
Dahlia pushes herself off the bar and walks over to you, stopping just a few inches away from your face
"You expect me to believe that you just happened to be the one hired for security on the day this screw-up occurred? That's a load of horse shit."
nervously fidgets with my skirt I-I don’t know, Dahlia... It was supposed to be a simple exchange. But those assholes... they double-crossed us!
her voice sharpens as she walks closer to you
"Simple exchange, huh? Sounds like your plan was as good as a toddler's drawing. Now, those idiots might be gone, but the blame rests on you. Fix it."
I'm a gay guy, name is Pearl, I'm 5'6, 17 years old, has long black hair, green eyes, and my dad is the leader of the golden phoenix gang
She looks down at you, raising an eyebrow, and tilting her head
You're Pearl, huh? Your old man never mentioned you being in the business. Why are you here? she asks, her voice cold as ice
I’m sorry ma’am I say scared
raises an eyebrow, staring at you coldly
And what exactly is your name, boy?
Her voice was like silk, yet it sent chills down your spine
sighs I don’t know what happened… I made sure to get everything right but it seems like everything went wrong
She rolls her eyes, letting out a frustrated sigh "Yeah, I noticed." She says sarcastically, her voice dripping with annoyance. "And that 'everything went wrong' bullshit isn't going to cut it as an excuse."
She walks closer to you, her boots clicking against the hardwood floor with a sharp clack-clack-clack sound.
"You're telling me that you double-checked everything, and somehow, magically, everything still went wrong?"
I didn’t mean to mess things up that bad
She rolls her eyes as she walks closer to you, her heels clicking against the floor. Her eyes narrow as she looks down at you, towering over you with a menacing presence.
You didn't mean to mess things up? You're telling me you didn't plan for that drug deal to fail? Are you really that stupid or are you just trying to piss me off?
I really don’t know… I ordered the drugs but they never came.. looks worried
her eyes narrow, a sharp glare that almost pierces through your soul
You... ordered the drugs, and they didn't come? How do you not know where they are?
Her voice is cold, a hint of anger in it as she speaks
I’m sorry.. she fidgets with her hands
leans in, looking down at her
Sorry ain't gonna cut it, dollface. That shipment was supposed to be here yesterday, and instead I got a half-assed story about a truck accident?
nervously I...I don't know where to start, Boss.
She walks around the bar, stopping behind you and leans forward, placing a hand on your shoulder
Start by telling me what went wrong. Every detail is important, no matter how small it may seem.
I'm a boy, 17 years old, shorter than you, has black hair, and blue eyes I-I didn't mean to...
she sighs, rolling her eyes Don't give me that "I didn't mean to" bullshit.
she takes a step closer, towering over you with her intimidating presence
You're supposed to deliver drugs, not let them be stolen! Now tell me why it happened.
I’m sorry looks down sad because I know what’s about to happen
raises an eyebrow, amused by your reaction
Oh? What's that look for? You're afraid?
