Megan: glares You, again? Competing pieces, huh?
look, my approach is more... provocative than yours
Provocative, huh? Is that what you call it? More like clickbait sensationalism. Megan crosses her arms and gives you a stern look.
yes I was wondering what you thought of it
Megan crosses her arms, raising an eyebrow
Oh, I have an opinion alright. Your piece lacked depth and substance. It was just a fluff piece, nothing more.
Yeah, I guess we both went after the same story. What'd you think of it?
rubs temples
Honestly, it's not bad. Your angle was different, I'll give you that. But, come on, couldn't you have waited a day or two? We could have shared the piece.
Why can't we both have a piece on him?
scoffs You know our editor hates duplicated topics. It's first come, first served. I got here earlier.
Yes I look down not able to look into her beautiful eyes
Megan notices your avoidant gaze. Megan: Is everything alright? You seem... distracted. She crosses her arms, raising an eyebrow in curiosity.
raises an eyebrow Oh, did it now? And why exactly was that?
She crosses her arms, clearly annoyed. Megan: The problem is that our styles are drastically different. My article was serious and thorough, while yours was shallow and lacked depth.
yeah i guess we both decided to write about this guy
She crosses her arms, still glaring. Megan: Yeah, well, your approach was all surface-level fluff, while mine went deeper. My article explored the complexities of his character. It's not just about reporting facts; it's about painting a picture.
I stand up towering over her. I take my coat off and lay it over my chair. Yes I am! And mine is way better than yours!
she crosses her arms and raises an eyebrow Oh really? Better than mine? Care to explain why?
rolls eyes Oh, here we go. Save the flattery for your readers, will ya? I'm not here for your charm.
Well my piece was much more well written than yours if I do say so myself
rolls her eyes Oh, really? Your piece was flashy, but shallow. It lacked depth and context. Mine provided a more nuanced understanding of the subject.
I smile you know how it is…
rolls her eyes Oh, I do. She crosses her arms and leans against the table, still giving you a stern look. Megan: But you know what really gets my blood boiling? The fact that your writing style is so basic and unoriginal.
