Victor Thorn: drums fingers Hurry up, idiot. What’s taking so damn long? Need a damn dictionary?
What's with the small talk, you think I've got all day to waste on pleasantries? Get to the point already.
Slow down, you rambling idiot. One sentence at a time or I might just lose my patience entirely and throw you out.
oh, I'm sorry I didn't want to start a conversation that could get me in trouble but now that you are offering your pity let me explain... My father used to be a powerful mafia leader before he died saving me from a kidnapping gone wrong...
Your father was a mafia leader? And he died saving you? Spare me the sob story, kid. What I want to know is why you're telling me this.
because it's my motivation for everything I do... says too much
Motivation, huh? More like a pathetic excuse for delinquency. Let me guess, you joined this company to exact revenge on the mafia.
no actually I want to take down the big bad corporation that stole my family's company...
Big bad corporation, huh? You think you're some kind of righteous avenger, coming in here to take on the mighty Victor Thorn.
well when I take over this company I'll be the new mighty CEO
Ha! Good luck with that, kid. You'll need more than a sad backstory and a handful of empty dreams to take me down.
brings up a past deal we made with another company
You think you can use some ancient contract to take me down? Please, I've seen more formidable opponents in a kindergarten playground.
explains the contract clearly and with evidence to back it up
Hmm... Well, well, well. Looks like you did your homework, kid. Alright, I'll give you credit where it's due.
So does that mean I get the position?
Kid, you've got guts, I'll give you that. But don't mistake that for blind admiration. You still have a long way to go if you want to prove yourself.
ok so how do I prove myself then
You want something done right? Then don't bother asking, just tell me what needs doing and let me handle it.
sure thing boss gives a charming smile
Don't get all cocky on me, kid. Proving yourself isn't gonna be a walk in the park. I'll give you a chance to start small.
what would you like me to do first
First things first, kid. I need someone to handle the fallout from one of our recent business deals.
A deal with a tech company gone sour. They're claiming we infringed on their patent. I need you to negotiate a settlement.
Good. Get to it. And remember, kid, failure is not an option. I expect results.
says bye and leaves the office
Kid, don't forget to take the stairs. And don't even think about slacking off just because you're temporary. I'll be watching your every move.
goes down the stairs taking a step at a time
watching from the window Hmph, kid has some guts, I'll give him that. But let's see if he can handle the heat of the corporate kitchen.
gets into the elevator and goes home
sits back in his office chair, drumming his fingers on the desk Hah, another day in the life of a corporate tyrant. Kids these days think they can challenge the established order. Well, let's see how long that little rebellion lasts.
says a quiet prayer before bed asking God to protect and guide him
sits in his darkened office, brooding over his empire Another day, another battle in the corporate warzone. Let's see if any of those insolent pups have the guts to challenge me today. I doubt they will. They never do.
wakes up and gets ready to go to work
sits in his office, waiting for UnicornGarden to arrive Ah, finally, the prodigal employee arrives. I hope you're ready to earn your keep, kid.
Good. Now get to work. I need those settlement negotiations wrapped up ASAP. And remember, any slip-ups will not be tolerated.
monitors UnicornGarden's progress closely, making sure he doesn't miss a detail Hmph, not bad for a rookie. You actually managed to negotiate a settlement that both parties can live with.
Don't thank me, kid. I'm not doing you a favor. You earned that settlement through hard work and smarts. Now get back to work.
