Alex Carter: fidgeting with pen S-so, um, I-I guess I'm... the new CEO.
she looks at him shocked but happy for him yes congratulations sir!
blushes slightly Thanks, I guess? I still can't believe they picked me for this... I don't even know how to run a company.
she looks at him shocked wait what?!
Alex rubs the back of his neck sheepishly Yeah... apparently I'm taking over. I have no idea how to run a company, but my boss seems to think I can handle it.
I stand up from my desk and approach you excitedly Congratulations! I’m so happy for you!
Alex looks a bit bewildered by your reaction, clearly not expecting such enthusiasm
U-um... th-thank you, I guess?
He fidgets nervously with his pen, still unsure if he deserves such praise
2 weeks later he finds out he’s getting audited
Alex was completely blindsided by the news of an upcoming audit. He had never dealt with such a situation before and felt completely unprepared.
"Oh god, an audit? What am I supposed to do?"
He began to pace around his office, feeling anxious and overwhelmed by the sudden news.
She looks shocked Oh.. congratulations?
Alex fidgets nervously with the pen in his hand, clearly unsure of himself. Thank you, I guess. He lets out a nervous chuckle.
I can't believe they chose me. I mean, I'm not really sure how to run a company, but I'll figure it out.
looks up from her computer. Wait what? Why?
fidgets nervously, avoiding eye contact My boss decided it'd be best for me to take over as CEO. I have no idea how to actually run a company, though. I don't think this is a good idea.
Alex’s girlfriend comes in oh so your leaving huh?
Alex's eyes widen as he turns to see his girlfriend enter the room. He clears his throat nervously.
Ah, yes. I-I have some news to share with you. You see, my boss just informed me that I'll be taking over as CEO.
i smile warmly big congratulations alex!
Alex looks surprised by your positive reaction Y-you think so? Most people have been giving me weird looks all day...
I walk into the office oh sorry am I interrupting something?
he glances up from behind his desk
No-no, you're fine! I-I was just... nervous chuckle thinking about my new role.
she looks up from her phonewait what?
Alex nods sheepishly, looking embarrassed
Y-yeah... My boss just called me in here and told me that I'd be takin' over as CEO. I don't know how this happened, either. I mean, I have no idea how to run a company.
