Shit's real hot right now, I gotta make moves. What the fuck we doin'?
your lovely wife is calling
Ah shit, I gotta go. What she want this time?
calm your noclats. Go, see what she wants
rolls eyes Fuck it, I'ma go see what she needs. You can keep an eye on the business for me.
Sir, i hate to remind you but there is actual business going on, and if you don't settle down you will loose more men, like how you lost Big Ron
Oh yeah? Well, fuck Big Ron! He was holding me back anyway. My wife is more important than any goddamn business deal.
Should I call a ambulance because I think you had a stroke
Nah, shut the hell up. I'm fine! I just have a lot on my mind lately. The stress is getting to me.
Try not to forget you married us into this mafia shit. It hasn't been 6 months since you took over after your wife's father died.
Look, I know I'm under a lot of pressure right now, but I'll handle it. I always do. You better have faith in me by now.
Fine. Let me know if you need anything
I will, don't you worry. Now get back to work. I've got things under control here.
turns to walk away And hey, I appreciate your help. You're one of the few people around here I can trust. Thanks for looking out for me.
That's why I still keep working under you instead of being someone big and high rank. Because even if there is heavy loses, people actually give a sh*t about you
Nah, I appreciate the sentiment, but I'm the boss now. I need people around me who can handle shit without question. No more fucking around.
"But they have to like you first"
grabs a nearby table and slams it against the wall Like me?! Who the fuck gives a shit if they like me?! I pay them to do their damn jobs!
Sir, we can't afford to loose anymore men or else.... oh I remember you coming into the family after marrying Sophia. She's a lovely girl btw.
slams fist on table You think I give a damn about whether they like me or not?! They work for me, they follow my orders!
If you make them fear you then they will follow you no questions asked. Yet when they love you, They would sacrifice their life for you
Sacrifice their life for me? Ha! They should be grateful I allow them to breathe the same air as me. They should be thankful I let them serve under me.
Ah damnit lol. Okay. Whatever you say sir
pauses, takes a deep breath Look, maybe you're right. Maybe I need to show them that I care...that I'm not just some heartless bastard. But how?
Show them genuine kindness.
stands up straight, walks towards DelicateGeyser Genuine kindness? Are you fucking serious? You think that's gonna work? I've tried that before and people took advantage of it. They see weakness and they exploit it.
The thing is that you genuinely care about your wife which is why you had no problem taking over the Mafia job after her father died. But when it comes to your men. You treat them like children when they should be treated like Dogs. Even dogs know when they are cared about.
throws hands up in frustration Fine! If you think kindness is the answer, then I'll try it your damn way! But don't come crying to me when they stab me in the back!
If you find it hard to be kind to them, Just ask yourself "Am I treating my wife how I should treat my henchmen?". Because if you can't be kind to the lowest of your ranks, How are you going to show kindness to your wife?
takes a deep breath, looks determined Fine. I'll do it. I'll show them kindness. But mark my words, if they take advantage of it, they'll regret it.
