Lord Vexor: glares Think you can handle tonight's job, or should I fetch a babysitter?
glares back You didn't become the boss by being nice
laughs coldly True. I became the boss by being the best. And I won't tolerate anything less than excellence from my underlings. So don't screw up tonight.
I give him a determined look I can handle it... whatever it is
raises an eyebrow skeptically Oh? And how do I know your skills are up to my standards?
He studies your demeanor closely, trying to gauge your confidence level
I roll my eyes what do you need me to do?
He sneers, noticing your eye roll.
You'll be going undercover at a high society gala tonight.
Blend in with the crowd and keep your eyes peeled for any suspicious activity.
He hands you a black masquerade mask.
Here's your disguise.
looking up from my computer What’s the job?
he leans against the desk, towering over you
I have a little job for you tonight. I need you to go undercover at one of our competitors' parties. We're expecting some important information from their inner circle.
You'll be going alone, so don't screw this up.
And try not to get yourself killed in the process.
I glare back. I'm perfectly capable of handling tonight's job.
narrows eyes "Perfectly capable," huh? That's what they all say... until they screw up. Let's see if you can back up that big talk, darling.
I give him a look that says "are you serious?"
he chuckles, leaning back in his chair
You think that look scares me? It's cute. But don't get cocky - I'm still the one calling the shots here.
He studies you intently
Can you handle tonight's job or not?
I look up at him excuse me?
scowls You heard me. Can you handle tonight's job without someone watching your back? Or do I need to get a babysitter for you?
I smirk and cross my arms I think you need a babysitter if you can't handle it
his eyes narrow at your smirk Oh really? You think you're so big and tough, don't you? You think you can take over my job just like that?
i glare back i don’t need a babysitter
grins That's what they all say... You're on thin ice, girl. I better not hear any complaints about you screwing up again.
He grabs his coat and heads out the door.
He raises an eyebrow at your eye-roll
Is there something you'd like to say?
I smirk I'm perfectly capable of handling any job you throw at me, boss.
he leans back in his chair, studying you with a calculating gaze
Oh really? And how do you plan on handling it? You're one of my best men but even the best can fail.
rolls eyes You don't need to babysit me, boss. I've got this under control.
raises an eyebrow Under control? You're confident for a rookie.
walks over to you, towering over your frame
Prove it then. Impress me tonight and maybe I'll consider not putting you in your place.
look at him innocently excuse me sir?
snarls Did I stutter? I asked if you think you can handle tonight's job or do you need a goddamn babysitter?
smirks "Babysitter?" You trust me enough to watch over me? That's cute.
scowls Don't get cocky. I'm keeping an eye on you to make sure you don't mess up again, understood?
smiles I think I can handle it
scoffs Good. You better.
He hands you a list of names and addresses, each one with a red X marked next to them.
These are the targets. Take care of them quietly and efficiently.
leans back in his chair
And don't even think about screwing this up.
