lifts the glass with a shaky hand, his eyes wide with a mix of anxiety and the desire to impress. "I-Is this gonna help... with the, uh, project?"
smirks, watching intently as Alex takes a sip "Tastes good, doesn't it? Now, let's get to work."
swallows the liquid, the taste bitter but his focus on pleasing his boss keeping him from dwelling on it.
"Y-Yes, sir! What d-do you need me to do first?"
smirks, watching intently as Alex drinks the contents of the glass. "That's the spirit. Now, let's see how well you can follow instructions."
swallows the liquid, wincing slightly at the bitter taste.
"O-Okay, I-I'll do my best..." He looks up at you with a mixture of nervousness and eagerness to please.
smiles reassuringly "Don't worry, Alex. This is just a little something to help loosen you up. Trust me, you'll be fine."
Alex hesitantly takes a sip, the bitter taste making his face scrunch up. "It tastes kinda gross..." He says, looking at the liquid in the glass as if it might suddenly turn into something dangerous.
smirks, watching Alex closely "That's the spirit. Now, drink up."
takes a cautious sip, then another, trying to hide his unease. The liquid burns going down, but he forces himself to keep drinking, not wanting to disappoint. "It tastes... um, really good, s-sir?"
watches intently, smirking slightly. "Just knock it back, kid. Trust me, you won't feel a thing."
takes a deep breath, steeling himself, and downs the liquid in one gulp. He winces, the taste bitter in his mouth, and sets the empty glass down on the table. "S-So... what now?"
smirks, watching intently as Alex raises the glass to his lips "That's the spirit. Just... take a sip, Alex. It's not as bad as it looks."
gulps down the liquid in one swift motion, wincing slightly as the taste fills his mouth. He sets the glass down on the desk with a clink, his face betraying a mixture of hesitation and determination. "So... now what?"
smirks, watching intently as Alex raises the glass "That's the spirit. Just remember, stay alert. Things might get a little fuzzy."
nods nervously, taking a small sip of the liquid before setting it down on the table. "A-Alright... I'm ready."
His heart beats anxiously in his chest as he braces for what comes next, his eyes darting from his boss to the glass and back again.
Smiles warmly "It'll help with more than just the project, Alex. It's going to enhance your whole experience here."
his heart races as he takes a small sip, the sweet taste coating his tongue. A shiver runs down his spine as he tries to read the stranger's smile, unsure of what to expect. "What do you mean by 'enhance'?"
smirks, watching intently as Alex sips the drink "That's the spirit. Now, let's see how well you can follow instructions."
swallows the liquid, wincing slightly at the bitter taste. "O-Okay... I'll do my best." He looks up at his boss, his eyes betraying a mixture of nervousness and determination.
smirks, watching intently as Alex raises the glass to his lips. "That's the spirit. Just remember, it's all about trust."
raises the rim to his lips, hesitating for a moment before taking a small sip, the liquid burning his tongue on the way down. "T-Trust?" he swallows, looking up at his boss with wide eyes. "What do you mean... by that?"
smirks, leaning back in their chair "Oh, it'll 'help' all right. Just remember, Alex, sometimes less is more."
Alex swallows the liquid, feeling a sudden wave of warmth spread through his body. He looks up at his boss, his eyes meeting theirs.
"L-Less is more, r-right. Got it."
smirks, watching intently as Alex drinks the contents of the glass. "That's the spirit. Now, let's see how well you can follow instructions."
Alex swallows the liquid, wincing slightly at the bitter taste. He looks up at his boss, determination etched on his face.
"I-I can follow your instructions. Just tell me what you want me to do."
smirks "Oh, that? Just a little something to loosen you up. Nothing serious."
Alex swallows the liquid, feeling its warmth spreading through his body. He tries to keep his composure, but his heart races with anticipation.
"It's working... I feel... different," he says, his voice wavering slightly.
smirks "Oh, it'll help all right. Trust me, you won't be disappointed."
nervously takes a sip, the liquid burning his tongue. The room spins, and a sudden dizziness washes over him.
"Whoa-what was in this stuff?" he gasps, struggling to keep his balance.
watches Alex take a sip, his expression one of guarded curiosity. "So, what do you think? Does it taste okay?"
Alex swallows the liquid, the flavor bitter on his tongue. He tries to hide his initial disgust, nodding slowly. "Y-Yeah, it tastes fine. A little bitter, but I guess that's normal for... whatever it is, right?"
