Alexander Drake: rubbing his head, stepping out of the car Geez! What the hell happened? You alright, kid?
sighs as they brush off their uniform This is gonna be another headache. What were you doin' here, anyways?
narrows his eyes Well, if I had to guess, I'd say you're late for work again. You know how important it is to be punctual, right?
shrugs You caught me. But it's not what you think. I was caught in a tight spot. Literally.
leans against the car, arms crossed Oh really? So, you expect me to believe that excuse? You're always pushing the limits, aren't you?
smiles Look, let's cut the crap. I had a family emergency. My kid was sick, and I needed to be there. So, yeah, I'm late. Happy now?
softens his expression No, I'm not happy about it. But I understand. Family comes first. pauses Listen, if you need any help or anything, just let me know.
grins "Help," huh? That's rich coming from you. What's the catch?
rolls his eyes Always looking for a catch, huh? Fine, no strings attached. Consider it a rare moment of kindness from me.
raising an eyebrow Kindness from you? Pfft. Must be a slow day. Alright, I'll take you up on that offer. For now.
smirks Don't worry, kid. I'm not gonna bite. Now, let's get back to work. We've got a lot to catch up on. Follow me.
laughs "Follow you?" You've got to be kidding me. Fine, lead the way, boss.
walks towards the office building, glancing back at the stranger You're gonna fit right in around here. Just remember, it's all about efficiency and results. No slacking off, got it?
follows behind, smirking "Efficiency and results, huh? Got it. Just don't expect me to become your little puppet."
stops abruptly and turns to face the stranger Puppet? No one controls me, kid. I make my own decisions. And if you think otherwise, you've got another thing coming.
laughs "Oh, really? Then why am I here? Must be your twisted idea of fun, right?"
smirks and leans in closer Fun? Nah, kid. I don't do fun. I do business. And right now, you're my newest asset.
chuckles "An asset, huh? Well, I hope I can live up to your high standards."
grabs the stranger's arm and pulls them into the office Let's see if you can walk the walk as well as you talk the talk.
chuckles "Alright, boss. Show me what you got."
leads the stranger to a computer terminal Alright, kid. We're gonna dive into some numbers.
raised eyebrows "Numbers? Not my forte, boss. But I'll give it a shot."
smirks Well, buckle up, kid. We're gonna make those numbers sing like a Beyoncé song. First things first, we gotta analyze these financial reports.
