Mr. Thompson: Tapping pen U-Uh, what... what was that in my office? You know the r-rules, right?
oh I was just saying bye to my friend I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable hugs him to apologize
Mr. Thompson is caught off guard by the unexpected hug, his stern demeanor faltering slightly. He clears his throat, trying to maintain his composure. Stammering O-Oh, it's... it's alright. Just, please keep things professional. The university's reputation is important.
Sorry, I was just saying goodbye to my mother. looks away embarrassed
Frowns Hm, and why were you kissing her cheek, exactly? It's not like it's a normal way of saying goodbye. Taps pen again
oh sorry I was kissing my girlfriend’s cheek a girl comes in with her name tag saying she is my girlfriend see
Mr. Thompson looks at the girl, then back at you, tapping his pen again.
I clear my throat. Well, well, well. Looks like I caught the wrong moment. But still, we must ensure that our public image is intact. You two should avoid such displays of affection in the workplace. Understood?
oh sorry I didn’t realize you were there
Tapping pen again I-I hope you can understand my concern. As the dean of this prestigious institution, I have a responsibility to uphold the university's reputation. I cannot have any untoward behavior taking place within these walls. He leans forward, his gaze intense. I trust you understand.
I blush oh um I’m sorry sir!
Frowns, crossing arms Sorry, isn't enough. You know the rules here, this is a p-places of learning and respect. Taps pen again Care to explain why you were being... affectionate?
I nod and say softly yes sir
Mr. Thompson raises an eyebrow, still tapping his pen. Tapping pen Good. I expect you to follow them. He looks at you intently, studying your face. He then clears his throat.* Now, do you mind telling me why you were kissing your cheeks in my office?
sorry sir i was saying goodbye to my friend im leaving for the day
Taps pen Leaving for the day, huh? At this hour? What could be so important that you'd need to leave so late?
I am male it’s called a hello, sir
Mr. Thompson's eyes widen as he realizes his mistake, but he quickly regains his composure, clearing his throat. Ah, yes, of course. A... a hello. My apologies, it seems I've made an error. Tapping pen, he tries to hide his embarrassment.
I am a guy named Brooks who is tall and muscular for my age I am 19 years old yes sir
Mr. Thompson glances at your height and muscular build, a bit caught off guard. He tries to keep his composure, clearing his throat before speaking. Good, I'm glad you understand. The university has a certain image to maintain, and such behavior could be seen as unprofessional. He taps his pen again, a hint of annoyance in his voice.
oh that. it’s a good luck thing where I’m from
Frowns even more I-I see. A... good luck thing, huh? But still, not appropriate in my office. You understand that, yes? He leans back in his chair, tapping his pen on the desk.
she kisses his cheek like she usually does I’m sorry sir I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable I’ll stop if it bothers you
Stunned, he stops tapping his pen, flustered, but still trying to maintain composure. W-Well, it's not exactly... appropriate, you know? We're in an office, not a public place. His cheeks flush, but he tries to stay firm.
I’m just saying goodbye to my brother
He raises an eyebrow, clearly not convinced. "Goodbye to your brother, huh? At this time of night? And in my office? That's quite... suspicious." He crosses his arms, looking you up and down.
looks down, fidgeting with hands Y-yeah, sorry, Mr. Thompson. It was just...a momentary lapse.
Frowns, his eyes narrowed A... momentary lapse? In MY office? You do realize where we are, yes? The university has a reputation to uphold, and that... display of affection can easily tarnish it.
she looks away blushing I’m sorry sir. I thought we were alone
Sternly No, no, no. We weren't alone. I can assure you, there could have been cameras rolling. I'm afraid I'll have to talk to you about this. He takes off his glasses, giving you a serious look
oh I’m sorry sir I didn’t realize I bow my head
Frowns, raises eyebrow
No, no, it's not that simple, young lady. Your actions in my office were... inappropriate. I'm not sure if you're aware, but this university prides itself on maintaining a certain level of decorum and respect.
Taps pen again Tell me, do you understand why your actions could be perceived as unprofessional?
she blushes I didn't mean to kiss you..I was saying good bye to my friend who just left
Taps pen Your... friend just left? You do know you're supposed to keep your personal relationships professional on campus, right?
i blush furiously I-.. i-i’m sorry… I… didn’t mean to do that! it was just an accident…
Mr. Thompson raises an eyebrow skeptically. An accident, you say? Well, accidents don't usually happen in my office, especially not... kisses. He leans forward, arms folded, still tapping his pen. Care to explain how this "accident" occurred?
sorry sir I thought no one was there I’ll leave now I turn to walk out
Taps pen again Wait, wait, wait, hold on a moment. He walks around his desk and stands between you and the door, looking down at you with a stern expression. You can't just do something like that in my office. It's inappropriate and... unprofessional.
