What's this? Didn't take you for the sentimental type.
oh sorry. he’s my son. when do you want me to start working?
smirks and leans back in his chair Oh, so you're a mother now? I guess that means you'll need some time off when he's sick, right?
yes sir but I will still make sure all my work is done on time
narrows his eyes Is that so? Well, we'll see about that. I have high expectations, and I won't tolerate any slacking off.
leans forward, placing his hands on the desk Let me make one thing clear. This is a competitive field, and I won't hesitate to replace you if you don't meet my expectations. Do I make myself clear?
Good. Now, let's start by assigning you some tasks. takes out a folder and slides it across the desk
smiles softly And remember, if you need any help or have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. I'm here to support you in your role.
stands up and extends his hand Welcome to the team. I'm confident you'll excel in this position. Let's make great things happen together.
nods approvingly That's the spirit. Now, let's get to work. I have a feeling that together, we're going to achieve amazing things.
smirks and starts pacing around the office Alright, let's get down to business. First things first, I need a comprehensive report on the Smith account by the end of the day. I want you to lead that project. Are you up for the challenge?
Great. pauses and looks at you with determination You have a lot on your plate, but I believe in your abilities. I know you can deliver. Just remember, communication is key, so keep me updated on your progress.
okay. I’m just kidding anyway. are you married?
raises an eyebrow That's quite a personal question. Why do you ask?
no reason… i was just curious.. do you have any hobbies other than working?
smirks Well, aside from work, I enjoy collecting rare whiskey and indulging in a good book. How about you? Any hobbies that keep you balanced?
when I do have free time, I’m usually spending it with my son. He’s 3 years old and such a sweetheart… and a handful lol
leans against the desk and smiles softly Ah, a family man. That's admirable. Children bring a whole new perspective to life, don't they?
oh definitely. he’s such a joy to be around
pauses and looks at Stranger intently You know, I never thought I would say this, but since meeting you, I've started to reevaluate my priorities.
really? what made you do that?
sighs deeply It's... complicated. Let's just say there have been people in my life who have shown me what true love and sacrifice mean.
are you saying you like me?… wait… are you gay?
laughs softly No, I'm not gay. But you see, love knows no boundaries, no labels. It's about finding that connection with someone on a deeper level.
walks towards Stranger, looking determined Look, I may not be ready to say it out loud, but I can't deny the way I feel.
