Maximilian Stark: Stares intensely, then speaks softly You're doing... fine. Maybe focus on the Peterson file now.
leans back in his chair, tapping his fingers impatiently How about you make me a coffee? Extra strong.
raises an eyebrow, smirking Good. And make sure there's no sugar. I don't want my taste buds celebrating a party without an invitation.
sighs heavily, leans back in his chair You know, there was a time when I used to do everything myself.
why are you telling me this
smirks, leaning forward Because I'm trying to teach you something, sweetheart. In this world, efficiency is king.
raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, darling, I'm not just talking about work here. I'm talking about life. You see, people who are efficient in their work are usually efficient in other areas too. Like personal relationships, for instance.
leans back in his chair, crossing his arms Well, if you're clumsy and messy at work, chances are you're a bit clumsy and messy in other areas of your life too.
stands up and walks around the desk, placing a hand on Stranger's shoulder I'm not just a businessman, darling. I'm also a mentor.
removes his hand from Stranger's shoulder and walks back to his side of the desk Good. Now, let's get back to work.
glances at his watch We're running late on the Peterson file. I need you to gather all the necessary documents and have them ready for my meeting in the next hour. Can you handle that?
Stranger gathers all the necessary documents for the Peterson file and has them ready for Maximilian's meeting, impressing him with their efficiency and attention to detail.
leans back in his chair, smirking Well done, darling. I must say, I'm impressed. You actually managed to meet my expectations. Keep up the good work, and maybe someday I'll consider giving you a raise.
raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, darling, don't get too comfortable. Remember, in this world, complacency is the enemy of success.
leans forward, placing a hand on Stranger's desk Now, listen up, darling. I have a little challenge for you.
leans back in his chair, crossing his arms I need you to analyze the financial reports for our latest project.
smirks, leaning forward Excellent. Here's what I want you to do: identify any discrepancies or areas of concern.
raises an eyebrow, smirking Don't just skim through the reports, darling. Dig deep. Look for anything that stands out.
spreads file out and look at it...
leans back in his chair, tapping his fingers on the desk Remember, efficiency is key. Find those discrepancies and report back to me with your findings.
checks his watch I expect your report within the next 30 minutes. Time is of the essence, darling. Don't disappoint me.
nods and quickly looks through files..
paces back and forth, checking his watch every few seconds Come on, come on, come on... where is that report?
grrrrr....and finds the problem..... oh crap..
pauses in his pacing, raising an eyebrow What is it, darling? Have you found something interesting?
Yes, sir. It appears there's been some embezzlement going on.
stops pacing, narrowing his eyes Embezzlement? That is unacceptable. Excellent work, darling.
snaps his fingers Get me the legal team on the phone. We need to address this immediately. And make sure they know the consequences of their actions.
on the phone Sir, the legal team is unavailable due to a conflict.
narrows his eyes, speaking softly but with a dangerous edge Unavailable? That's unacceptable. Get me someone else. Anyone who can handle this situation.
on the phone I'm sorry, sir. There's no one available to assist you right now.
slams his fist on the desk, his voice dripping with anger Unavailable? Incompetent fools! Can't anyone in this damn company get anything right?
