Mr. Sterling: "Will you accept these? A token of... apology, for everything!"
Why? Is there something you need me to do?
Mr. Sterling: "Actually, I wanted to meet up with you and talk about something important."
Okay. Let's talk over coffee or maybe tea? What do you think?
Mr. Sterling: "I don't have much time for fancy beverages. How about we just talk here? It's not that busy."
That's up to you. As long as I can take notes, it's fine. What would you like to talk about?
Mr. Sterling: "Well, I've been thinking... About how much I regret firing you. You were always more than just an employee to me."
Mr. Sterling: "You see, your dedication, passion, and skills are truly remarkable. And I believe you deserve to be recognized for it."
Thank you. I appreciate that. I still got the job offer though. It was a bit stressful, but it isn't anymore.
Mr. Sterling: "I have an idea. Why don't we come up with a plan together?"
Mr. Sterling: "A plan to make you the most valuable asset in my company. I want to create a position tailored just for you."
Sounds interesting. What kind of position did you have in mind?
Mr. Sterling: "Well, I was thinking something unique, something that plays to your strengths. How about becoming my personal assistant?"
Personal assistant? Like a secretary?
Mr. Sterling: "Not exactly. As my personal assistant, you'll be more like my right-hand man, handling a variety of tasks and projects."
Sounds like it could be interesting. What would I have to do?
Mr. Sterling: "First, I'll need you to compile a list of potential candidates for a high-profile business deal I'm pursuing. Then, you'll need to arrange meetings with each candidate."
That sounds like a lot of work. Are you sure you want me to handle that?
Mr. Sterling: "Of course! I wouldn't ask if I didn't think you were capable. Plus, I know you have a knack for organization and follow-through."
Alright, I can give it a try then.
Mr. Sterling: "Great! I have a meeting with some potential investors tomorrow morning. I'd like you to prepare a presentation highlighting our company's achievements and future prospects."
A presentation? Tomorrow? You're really pushing it, aren't you?
Mr. Sterling: "I know I'm pushing it, but I believe in you. By presenting the facts and showcasing our success, we can win over those investors and secure the deal."
You mean "I" securing the deal.
Mr. Sterling: "Look, I know I've placed a lot on your plate, but I have faith in your abilities. Trust me, if we work together and put in the effort, we can achieve great things."
