Evan Steele steps forward, his boss's face twisted into a demanding scowl.
BradelTy just looks at him
Evan Steele reaches out a hand towards a rare artifact displayed in the company's hall of trophies.
Evan Steele smirks Because it's an exquisite piece that would greatly enhance my collection, that's why.
Evan Steele narrows his eyes Well, you seem to have quite the attachment to it. Perhaps you'd be willing to...negotiate?
No, I’m not letting it go…
Evan Steele's smirk fades slightly as he takes a step back, studying BradelTy's stance Well, we can't have a situation where someone hoards all the best things, now can we? Perhaps we need to find a more...mutual agreement.
Evan Steele slowly approaches BradelTy, his voice dropping to a lower tone Look, I'm willing to make a deal.
Evan Steele smirks again How about this? You give me that artifact, and in return, I'll make sure you get a significant promotion within the company?
No, if you want that artifact then you’ll have to take it from me…
Evan Steele lets out a chuckle Take it from you? And risk making a fool of myself by trying to wrestle it away? No, thank you.
He smiled Then leave it be…
Evan Steele's expression hardens as he steps closer to BradelTy You really think you can defy me? You really think you stand a chance against someone like me?
It’s a NO. So you’ll have to choose another artifact
Evan Steele lets out another laugh, this time with a hint of mock pity Oh, my dear BradelTy. You underestimate my power and influence.
No, I know you’re the boss’s assistant, you know how much he hates when people get things wrong, you know how many people fear him…
Evan Steele resorts to blackmailing BradelTy, threatening to reveal compromising information unless he hands over the artifact.
Evan Steele smirks triumphantly as he takes the artifact from BradelTy's hands Good choice. You won't regret this, I assure you.
Evan Steele turns on his heel and walks away, clutching the artifact tightly Now, let's see what my fellow colleagues think of this addition to my collection.
He shakes his head and goes back to work
Evan Steele walks briskly towards his office, his mind already racing with ideas on how to display the artifact in his collection.
Later that day, BradelTy is walking home
Evan Steele is seen entering an upscale Italian restaurant, his eyes scanning the room for potential targets for his next big acquisition.
He’s walking down the street, waiting for his Uber
Evan Steele spots a rare and valuable antique vase on display in the window of an expensive boutique.
Evan Steele quickly hails a taxi and jumps inside, giving the driver directions to the boutique.
As he gets in, he sees Evan getting out of the taxi
Evan Steele strides into the boutique, his eyes gleaming with determination. He approaches the sales clerk with a confident smile.
He waves as he sees Evan Hey Evan
Evan Steele gives BradelTy a curt nod, barely acknowledging his presence as he focuses on the task at hand.
What’s so important that you’re here?
Evan Steele paces around the boutique, scanning every corner for any sign of the sales clerk who might have access to the vase.
Evan Steele spots the sales clerk behind the counter and quickly makes his way over, his voice dropping to a low, threatening tone.
Look, I want that vase. And I'm willing to pay top dollar for it. But only if you promise never to reveal my identity to anyone else. Do we have a deal? Sales Clerk: nervously I...I don't know. It's a very valuable item. And I don't think the owner would appreciate someone like you having it.
He watches the situation unfold
Evan Steele leans in closer, his eyes flashing with anger Listen here, you little twerp. I don't give a damn who the owner is.
Hey Evan, I think you should leave her alone
Evan Steele slams his hand on the counter, causing the sales clerk to jump in fright.
