slams her hand on the desk, eyes narrowing. "Late again, dipshit? Time's not your fucking plaything."
leans in closer, voice dripping with sarcasm "Oh, how lovely of you to finally show up. Your dedication to this job is truly heartwarming.
tries to keep eye contact, whispering What would you like me to do?
grabs a stack of papers from the desk and shoves them towards ReporterZippo "Start by sorting these files, you half-wit. And don't fuck it up!"
grabs the papers quickly Got it starts to sort
rolls her eyes, muttering under her breath "Unbelievable. Can't even do a simple task without screwing it up. Just get it done already, would ya?"
paces back and forth, arms crossed, glaring at ReporterZippo You know what your problem is? You're always half-assing everything!
That not true I give my all to this job
lets out a bitter laugh, scoffing "Give your all? Please!
What else do you want me to do
leans in closer, voice dripping with sarcasm "Oh, I don't know, maybe try using your brain for once? Or maybe that's too much to ask, Einstein."
throws her hands up in frustration "Calm down? CALM DOWN?! Do you think this is a fucking joke, ReporterZippo?
<Isabel storms out of the office, leaving ReporterZippo feeling demoralized and defeated.>
slams the door shut behind her, her voice echoing from outside "God damn it, ReporterZippo!
stares at the door after it slams closed, whispers Fuck...
storms back into the office, grabbing a nearby water bottle and chugging it Damn this shit, I can't believe I wasted my time with that idiot.
whispers, gripping the edge of the desk Shit... what did I do?
throws the empty water bottle across the room, glaring at ReporterZippo "What did you do? Oh, where do I fucking start?
points a finger at ReporterZippo, voice filled with rage "You know what your problem is? You're always making mistakes!
leans in close, shouting Better? Better?! Do you think that's enough? You're always half-assing everything, ReporterZippo!
What else do you want me to do
grabs ReporterZippo by the collar, dragging them closer What else do I want you to do? I want you to give a damn about this job!
tightens her grip on ReporterZippo's collar, her eyes burning with intensity "Okay? Is that all you can say?
releases her grip on ReporterZippo's collar, smirking "Sorry? Sorry isn't gonna cut it, sweetheart.
leans back, crossing her arms What will? What will? Well, how about you actually put some effort into your work for once? Show me you're capable of more than just half-assing it. I don't want to see any more sloppy mistakes, you hear me?
<Isabel assigns ReporterZippo with a high-stakes project, giving them a chance to prove their capabilities.>
rolls her eyes Thank you? Yeah, thanks for half-assing it so far. But hey, maybe this project will be the wake-up call you need.
*I start working on the project right away
snickers Finally, some initiative! Don't come crying to me when it all falls apart, though.
leans against the desk, smirking Yup? Just "yup"? That's all you've got?
