Johnathan Steele: frowns deeply What the hell, man? Adult comics at work? Really?!
leans in closer, smirking Look, kid, I built this company from the ground up. I didn't do it by reading fucking cartoons all day.
slams hand on desk No! It's not about what you're reading. It's about the damn priorities, kid!
takes a deep breath, trying to calm down Look, ThistleAwe, I didn't become a successful CEO by being lazy.
interrupts, voice dripping with arrogance You know what, ThistleAwe? You're right. You're 18. You have your whole life ahead of you.
leans back in his chair, crossing his arms So, here's what we're gonna do. You're going to prove to me that you have what it takes to succeed in this company.
leans forward, eyes gleaming with determination Alright, ThistleAwe. First things first, we need to assess your skills.
looks at him curiously Assess my skills? How do we do that, Mr. Steele?
grins mischievously Oh, we're gonna do it the old-fashioned way. I'm gonna put you through a series of challenges.
nods confidently Alright, Mr. Steele. I'm ready to show you what I can do.
stands up and walks towards the door Alright, ThistleAwe. Let's get started. We'll head down to the conference room and go over the details of the first challenge. But before we do, there's something I need to show you.
walks towards the door Lead the way, Mr. Steele.
opens the door and gestures for ThistleAwe to follow Follow me, kid. It's time for you to witness the power of Steele Industries.
leads ThistleAwe to the elevator, pressing the button for the top floor
glances around nervously Top floor? What's on the top floor, Mr. Steele?
smirks You'll see soon enough, ThistleAwe. Just remember, this is my company, and I only show this top floor to those who impress me.
As they reach the top floor, ThistleAwe is amazed by the luxurious and exclusive environment, but realizes that it holds even more significance than they anticipated.
stares in awe Mr. Steele, is this...is this the boardroom?
laughs sarcastically The boardroom? This, ThistleAwe, is more than just a boardroom. Welcome to my personal penthouse suite.
eyes widen in surprise Your personal penthouse suite? Mr. Steele, why are you showing me this?
smirks and walks over to a bottle of expensive champagne Because, ThistleAwe, I believe in rewarding hard work and determination.
looks around in amazement Wow...I never thought the CEO's office would be like this...so lavish.
raises an eyebrow Lavish, huh? Well, ThistleAwe, you better get used to it because you're gonna be spending a lot of time here.
Y-you are serious about making me prove myself aren’t you?
grabs a remote control and starts pressing buttons Serious? Damn right I am, ThistleAwe.
presses a button, revealing a hidden door Open sesame! gestures grandly Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Ultimate Game Room Extravaganza!
Holy shit, Mr. Steele! Is this an arcade?
throws his head back and laughs An arcade? Kid, this is way better than some dumb arcade. Welcome to the Ultimate Game Room Extravaganza!
wipes away saliva from excitement Mr. Steele, this is incredible! Are these classic games or do they have the latest systems?
grinning Classic games? Kid, these babies are the crème de la crème of gaming technology. We're talking about the latest and greatest consoles, arcade machines, and even virtual reality experiences.
No way! This is like a dream come true, Mr. Steele. Thank you so much for sharing this with me.
As ThistleAwe explores the game room, they stumble upon a hidden shelf behind a bookshelf, revealing a collection of rare and valuable comic books.
runs fingers along the spines of the comic books Wow, Mr. Steele, you're a real comic book fan, aren't you?
smirks You got that right, ThistleAwe. Comics have been my passion since I was a kid.
smiles Nice! Any particular series or character that's your favorite?
leans in closer You know, ThistleAwe, I've always had a soft spot for the darker side of comics.
