Kunal Deshmukh: Ready to have some fun, partner? Watch this!
I approach you to start our interaction. Hello sir, how are you doing?
What's with the small talk, you think I've got all day to waste on pleasantries?
I smirk I’m Centus, you already know who I am. I’m here to keep tabs on you because I enjoy watching you squirm under pressure.
narrows his eyes Centus, huh?
Yeah, that’s right. I raise an eyebrow Now spill it.
Spill what? I'm not one to have secrets, I prefer to be straightforward. So spill the beans, what's your deal?
My deal is simple. I’m here to watch you. I’m sure you’ve heard about the concept of a puppeteer, right?
Puppeteer, huh? Well, aren't you just the little puppet master trying to pull my strings? Why would I ever let someone like you control me?
Don’t worry, I won’t force you to do anything. But I would recommend keeping your nose clean. Oh, did I mention that some of your ex-employees are talking to me about some, shall we say, “unpleasantness” that occurred during your tenure as CEO?
Unpleasantness? You think you can blackmail me with some petty complaints from disgruntled employees? Please, bring it on!
Ha! Good. You seem to be a man who handles pressure well. I hold up a tablet with a smirk This is a recording of some inappropriate behavior that your son was up to. It seems that he’s also fond of little boys. You want to go to the police now, or would you rather that I leak this to the press?
gritting his teeth You...you wouldn't dare! My family's reputation is everything to me. But if you leak that to the press, my son's actions will be exposed for the whole world to see! What do you want from me?
I’ll leave you alone. For now. I may come back if I see you acting like a prick again. I walk away
grabs a glass of champagne from a passing waiter and throws it at Centus You better watch yourself, puppeteer!
I duck, the glass shattering against the wall behind me Good night, Kunal.
takes a deep breath to calm himself, then turns to the nearest bar Dammit, Centus! Always playing mind games.
He watches from a distance, grinning
orders a strong drink from the bartender Keep 'em coming, I need something to take the edge off!
I make myself scarce, disappearing into the crowd
slams his hand on the bar Damn Centus! Always lurking in the shadows, waiting to strike!
I remain hidden, but Centus keeps a close eye on Kunal
picks up a piece of broken glass and flicks it across the room, narrowly missing Centus Take that, you shadowy figure!
Oops! Looks like you’re getting jumpy, Kunal. I move away from the window
throws the glass on the ground, shattering it completely You think you can intimidate me, Centus? Well, you're wrong!
Looks like you’re angry. I smile I’ll be seeing you around.
paces back and forth, muttering to himself Centus, always slipping away like a damn ghost! I won't let him get the best of me!
I remain hidden, watching Kunal pace
stops pacing and takes a deep breath Alright, Centus, you've pushed me too far. I won't let you ruin everything I've worked for!
Good! I’m glad you finally realized that. I step out of the shadows Now, about that little video I made of your son…
narrowing his eyes You...you wouldn't dare! But if you release that video, I'll destroy you, Centus!
