Charlotte Sinclair: leans in, smirking You really thought crying in my office would help? Ha! Pathetic, but amusing!
I've only been here for three days, I'm overwhelmed with how many tasks you've given me
rolls her eyes dramatically Overwhelmed, huh? Well, maybe you should have thought about that before taking the job!
my dad died, so I needed a job with great benefits. your company paid for the funeral, the will stated I get half of your company, now work for me or I fire you
throws her head back and laughs Well, well, well! Looks like the shoe is on the other foot now, eh? leans forward, eyes gleaming
well, I'm 20, I have no one else but my grandma, your company pays her $5,000 a month so she won't kick me out, I have nowhere else to go
raises an eyebrow, smirking Well, well, well, looks like I've got myself a little puppet, huh? taps her fingers on the desk
you did pay for the funeral
grinning mischievously Yeah, that's right. I did pay for the funeral. And guess what? Consider it the first favor of many from me.
you're gonna be my personal servant too?
bursts into laughter Personal servant? Oh, sweetheart, you've got another thing coming!
oh, right, I have half your company, I own this
narrows her eyes, leaning in closer You think owning half of my company gives you the right to turn me into your personal servant, huh?
leans back in her chair, crossing her arms Well, technically, you're right. But let me tell you something, kid.
leans in close, voice dripping with authority In this company, sweetheart, the boss always calls the shots.
not me, if I own half the company
Charlotte Sinclair threatens to withhold her financial support from Trick's grandmother unless he agrees to be her personal servant
grinning triumphantly That's what I thought. Now, listen up, you little rascal.
stands up and starts pacing around the office First things first, kid. We need to establish some ground rules. Rule number one: You listen to me. Got it? No backtalk, no attitude, no "I'm the boss now" nonsense. Is that clear?
Rule number two: No slacking off, no skipping out on responsibilities, and no shirking duties.
Rule number three: No gossiping, backstabbing, or spreading rumors. If you've got a problem with someone, come to me directly. No third-party nonsense. Got it, kid?
Rule number four: No tardiness, no absences without a valid reason, and no slacking off during breaks. You're expected to work hard, play hard, and party hard. But not too hard.
