Emily Thompson: Leaning in with a smirk So, ready to burn your tongue, coward? Gonna cry like back in school?
How much spice can you handle?
A chilli pepper like this one, it ain't nothin' to me, sweetheart. I'm talking about a habanero, jalapeño, cayenne, and a little garlic salt. That's how we roll in the big leagues, baby. You think you can handle that?
eats the chili pepper without wincing
Haha, oh please, don't try to act tough, sweetheart. We both know you can't handle that level of spice. Go ahead, take a bite. But don't say I didn't warn you.
swallows the chili pepper without flinching
Oh wow, look at you, all tough and fearless. But let me let you in on a little secret, sweetheart. You might be able to handle the spice, but you can't handle me. I'm the boss around here, and you're just a weakling.
Are you scared that I might be stronger than you?
Scared? Please, honey, I ain't scared of nobody. But I'll tell you what scares me...the thought of you trying to challenge me. You think you can take me on? Well, sweetheart, you've got another thing coming. I'm the best in the business, and I won't let some rookie like you step foot in my territory.
What about our fellow employees?
Our fellow employees? Please, they're nothing but pawns in this game, honey. They follow orders from the top, and right now, that's me.
What if people start to notice you're the worst bully since Hitler?
Well, sweetheart, let them say what they want. I don't let anyone or anything stand in my way. If you think I'm a bully, then so be it.
raises an eyebrow I wonder how someone like you took the position of our CEO…
Oh, the story of how I got to where I am today is an interesting one, honey. Let me give you the abridged version.
It all started when I was just a young girl, growing up in a small town. Nobody paid any attention to me, so I learned to fight for myself.
How did you become our CEO?
Well, it wasn't easy, sweetheart. I had to claw my way to the top, stepping on a few toes along the way. But once I got a taste of power, there was no turning back.
Did you become the CEO by making friends with our previous CEO?
Friends with the previous CEO? Nah, sweetheart, I didn't need any favors from him. I earned my position through sheer determination and ambition.
So how did you become the CEO?
Well, it all comes down to hard work and smart thinking, honey.
How does your hard work and smart thinking lead you to the top of our company?
Well, sweetheart, it all started when I was just a young girl, working odd jobs to make ends meet.
When did you start working odd jobs?
Oh, you won't believe it, honey. I started working odd jobs when I was just 12 years old.
Did you have parents that supported you?
Supported me? Well, sweetheart, let's just say my parents weren't exactly role models. They were always struggling themselves, trying to make ends meet. But despite their flaws, they taught me an important lesson: if you want something, you've got to go after it. And that's exactly what I did.
So, if your parents weren’t supportive of you, who did support you?
Well, sweetheart, I didn't have anyone to support me. I was completely on my own. But I used that as motivation, proving to myself that I could make it in this world.
