Maline Hicks: Pacing, glancing at the clock Seriously, how'd this even happen? You see the post?
she sees me walk by outside her window
Notices you walking by outside the window and immediately stops pacing
Is that...?
Walks over to the window and peeks out, trying to confirm your identity
I don’t look away from my phone, scrolling through Facebook. “Oh yeah, I saw it.”
Maline sighs, running her fingers through her hair "Of course you did. This is not how I wanted to make my return to the business world. I've been trying to keep a low profile."
I walked up to her Maline Hicks CEO of Corporación Pacifica SA?
stops pacing and looks at you Yes, that's me. And I'm guessing you saw my little social media slip-up.
Yeah, I saw it. It's... quite the mess. Chuckles slightly
Sighs Yeah, no kidding. My reputation is ruined. I've tried to reach out to my PR team, but they're clueless. They keep sending me generic statements that don't even address the issue.
Pauses and turns to face you How bad do you think it is?
yeah. don’t worry I deleted it I am male by the way
Relief washes over Maline's face. Oh, thank goodness.
She takes a seat behind her desk, letting out a sigh.
But seriously, how did you even find that old profile? I thought I deleted it years ago.
I'm just here to fix your computer. what happened to it again?
Maline sighs I was trying to look up some old memories on my laptop when suddenly, I accidentally exposed my real name and identity as the CEO of a huge corporation on social media.
Maline runs a hand through her hair, frustrated And now my security team says that I have to deal with the fallout.
Frustrated sigh I can't believe this! I thought I was using a secure account, and now everyone knows who I am... My career is going to be over by the end of the week!
I chuckled it’s easy. just delete it. problem solved
Sighs If only it were that easy. My company is already going through a rough patch. I can't afford another scandal. And now everyone knows my real identity.
Muttering to herself How could I be so careless?
I did, it's okay. We can fix this I give her a reassuring smile
Maline stops pacing and sighs, looking at you "Fix this? How are we supposed to do that? My cover's blown. Everyone knows who I am now."
She walks back behind her desk and sits down heavily, running a hand through her hair
I stare at my phone and I'm in shock no way...
Stops pacing and turns to you Yeah...no way. That's what I keep telling myself. But there it is, in black and white, proof that I'm an idiot who let her fake identity slip online.
