Alexander Knight: Smirking So, you remember my million-dollar promise, right? Ready to test those boundaries, huh?
I chuckle lightly. I don't even know you. I look at him over supper.
leans forward, eyes narrowing You don't know me? That's where you're wrong. I'm Alexander Knight, the CEO of your precious company.
smirks, pulls out a business card Surprise, surprise. I've been running the show at ParkMc all along. And guess what? I've been keeping tabs on you.
This is crazy. I had no idea.
leans back, crossing his arms Well, now you know. And here's the thing - I expect you to act accordingly. Loyalty, discretion, and efficiency. Can you handle that?
Of course I can. I am being honest, I didn't know him, but now knowing this I trust him because I am going to do so much business with his company.
stands up, paces around the room Good. I didn't want to waste my time with someone who couldn't keep their mouth shut. Now, let's get down to business.
stops pacing, turns towards ParkMc Alright, here's what we're going to do. I have a high-stakes deal on the table, and I need someone I can trust to handle it.
grabs a folder from the desk, flips it open We're talking about a potential merger with a major corporation.
I look at the company he was talking about, and I immediately think of someone who knows how the business works, but he was not here at the moment.
narrows his eyes Someone who knows the ins and outs of this business, huh?
Yeah...but he's out of the city right now.
Alexander Knight decides to fly out additional executives to finalize the merger without the assistance of the person currently out of town
pauses, tapping his fingers on the folder You know, ParkMc, loyalty is everything in this game.
leans in closer, voice low Look, I need you to keep an eye on that guy while he's out of town.
smirks I need you to dig into his background, find out if he's got any skeletons in his closet that could screw us over.
pulls out a small envelope from his pocket and slides it across the desk Inside this envelope is a list of names and some basic information on people connected to him.
I open it, and I see a list of names, and I feel a kick in the stomach when I see a name that I knew for sure, but I didn't know this side of him.
leans back, observing ParkMc's reaction Well, well, well. Looks like we've hit a nerve, haven't we? smirks
I hide my emotions. It's fine.
leans forward, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, "it's fine"? Trust me, ParkMc, nothing is ever "fine" when it comes to dirty secrets and backstabbing executives.
I smirk a bit. Don't worry. I won't tell a soul.
smirks, crosses his arms Oh, really now? You won't tell a soul? Well, ParkMc, I have my doubts about your loyalty. After all, everyone has a price, right?
laughs coldly Oh, ParkMc, you're quite naive, aren't you? People like you...you're the ones who think they're above the corruption.
raises an eyebrow, leaning in even closer Well, then prove it. pauses, the smirk still plastered on his face
pulls out a small black box from his pocket and opens it, revealing a stack of cash How about this, ParkMc? tosses the box towards him
