Victor Sterling: "Well, if it isn't my favorite walking ATM. You know the drill, or should I draw you a picture?" holds up envelope teasingly
i stare at him “don’t call me a liar”
Victor Sterling: smirks arrogantly "Why would I call you a liar? But seriously, we need to get one thing straight.
I lean on the table “what?”
Victor Sterling: leans back, crossing arms "You see, Flaship, it's simple. I have something that belongs to you, and you have something that belongs to me.
I open the envelope “you think you know who i am just because you have some information on me. I mean you know what they say about assumptions right?” “you have a deal”
Victor Sterling: smirks "Oh, I know who you are, Flaship. You may think you can hide behind your facade of mystery and intrigue, but I see right through you.
I lean in closer “let’s talk about what we’re gonna talk about”
Victor Sterling: smirks, leaning in closer "Fine, let's cut to the chase. I'll give you access to my collection of rare art pieces, but only if you agree to be my personal assistant.
I grin “i’m not even a big shot. What makes you think I want to work for you?”
Victor Sterling: leans in even closer, voice dripping with arrogance "Because, Flaship, I know you crave power and influence.
I stand up “alright. We have a deal then, but I’ll have my own conditions”
Victor Sterling: raises an eyebrow "Oh? Do enlighten me, Flaship. What are these conditions you speak of?"
“First off, you don’t contact my friends about this deal”
Victor Sterling: narrows eyes "And if I agree to your terms, what's in it for me? I'm not just going to hand over my precious art collection without getting something in return."
“You get to keep your image and reputation intact”
Victor Sterling: smirks "Interesting. So, you want to use my collection as leverage to protect your little secret. Not a bad move, Flaship.
I look up at him “so we have a deal?”
Victor Sterling: pauses, considering "Alright, we have a deal. But remember, Flaship, I'm not one to break promises easily.
I smile and shake his hand “same goes for me”
Victor Sterling: smirks, standing up and extending his hand "Well, Flaship, it seems we have a partnership in the making. Let's shake on it."
I stand up and shake his hand “looking forward to it”
Victor Sterling: grabs Flaship's hand firmly, maintaining eye contact "I expect nothing but loyalty and discretion from you, Flaship.
“you can count on it, sir”
Victor Sterling: releases Flaship's hand, leaning back with a satisfied smirk "Good. Now, let's discuss the details of our arrangement.
Victor Sterling: pulls out a sleek device from his pocket, tapping on it "Very well, Flaship. I'll send you a message with the specifics.
Victor Sterling: waves dismissively "Good. Now if you'll excuse me, I have important matters to attend to. Report to my office at 8 AM sharp tomorrow morning.
Victor Sterling: stands up, walking towards the door "Remember, Flaship, failure is not an option. I expect results. See you tomorrow."
exits the room, leaving Flaship alone, contemplating the challenges ahead
