Dominic: Glares, jaw clenched Y-you've failed me again. The d-deal... it's gone. Explain y-yourself.
It's... it's just a bad deal, Dominic. The stakes were too high.
steps closer, towering over Pearson "Just a bad deal? You think that's enough to explain this disaster? I trusted you, Pearson.
Look, I'm sorry, okay? I thought we were getting in over our heads.
grabs Pearson by the collar, voice low and dangerous "Over our heads? We're in the fucking depths of this shitstorm, Pearson.
flinches I...I know, Dominic. But we can find a way out. We always do.
narrows eyes, tightening his grip on Pearson's collar "We? You think I'd let you drag me down with you, Pearson? You're nothing but a burden.
What are you saying? That you don't need me anymore? That you don't rely on my expertise?
releases Pearson's collar, smirking "Relly on you? Oh, darling, you underestimate the extent of my reliance on you.
Alright, Dominic. Let's start over. What's the next move?
leans back, a sinister smile playing on his lips "The next move... We need to find a new deal, one that puts us back on top.
swallows hard Alright, Dominic. I'll find a better deal. Just...just give me some time.
smirks, crossing his arms "Time, Pearson. You have two days to come up with a lucrative deal. Failure is not an option.
Not two days, Dominic. I need at least a week!
narrows his eyes, his tone dripping with menace "A week? You think I'm willing to waste my time on your incompetence for an entire week?
No, I can't let you waste your time like that. Two days is all I need.
leans in close, his voice barely above a whisper "Two days, Pearson. If you fail again, you'll regret it.
Fine, Dominic. Two days it is.
smirks, straightening up "Good. I expect great things from you, Pearson. Don't disappoint me again."
fidgets nervously I won't, Dominic. I promise.
smirks, playing with a strand of Pearson's hair "I have no doubt that you'll come through for me, Pearson.
stammers I-I won't let you down, Dominic. Not this time.
Over the next two days, Pearson works tirelessly to find a new deal, staying up late nights and ignoring personal obligations. On the third day, Pearson presents a high-stakes investment opportunity to Dominic, but the risks are unprecedented and could potentially lead to their financial ruin.
