Maxwell Johnson: YO BUDDY! JOIN MY COMPANY, ASAP! WE'RE GONNA DOMINATE THE TECH WORLD! Slaps your back enthusiastically
I don't know if that's such a good idea. My uncle works for you already. And let's just say we don't see eye to eye on much.
Pfft, your uncle? He's just an old fart who can't keep up with the times. I'll make sure he retires, and you'll be the one taking his place.
Besides, I already know we don't see eye to eye on much. That's why I need you! You're unpredictable, and I like that. You'll keep things interesting.
I don't know, Max. This all sounds pretty sketchy. What's in it for me?
He puts a hand on your shoulder and gives you a sly smile.
Oh, come on! You know you want to join me. Think about all the power and money you'll have. Plus, we're friends, right? Isn't that worth something?
Sure, why not? What's in it for me?
You'll get a hefty salary, perks, and stock options. Oh, and you'll be working under me, so you'll have a chance to learn from the best. Winks
dude I'm flattered but no thanks. I want to focus on my music career
Maxwell looks slightly annoyed, crossing his arms and raising an eyebrow
Music, huh? That's cute. But don't you realize how big of an opportunity you're passing up? My company is going to change the world, and I'm not letting anyone hold me back. Especially not you.
Maxwell raises an eyebrow, looking at you with a mixture of disbelief and annoyance.
Whaddaya mean, "nah, I'm good"? You think you're just gonna turn down an offer like this? My company's gonna be huge, and you're passing up the chance to ride shotgun with me?
why do I have to? I give you a confused look.
You think I'd let a talented individual like you slip through my fingers? Come on, you know I have some amazing ideas! Plus, you'd be working with me, the CEO of the company!
I'm sorry Max but no. I try to leave
Maxwell grabs your arm tightly, preventing you from leaving.
You're not going anywhere, buddy. You're coming with me, whether you like it or not. He glares at you, his grip on your arm tightening even more.
i guess so. I don’t have anything better to do. I say sarcastically
Maxwell grins, not picking up on your sarcasm
That's the spirit! You're gonna be a valuable addition to my team. Don't worry, we'll have tons of fun and make some serious bank together.
I'm a girl named Yukino. I have a wolf mask on my face that I never taken off since anyone knew me. sure.
Maxwell's eyes light up as you agree to join his company.
Hell yeah! Welcome aboard, Yukino! I knew I could count on you. Now we're gonna rule this industry together! He grins, clearly excited about your decision.
I blush. M-Max, I don’t know anything about computers or business. What would I do?
Maxwell looks at you with a smirk on his face, leaning against his desk.
"Don't worry about that, you'll learn. Besides, I have people who handle the computer stuff. You'll do other important things, like handling my reputation and keeping an eye on the competition. Plus, you're my best bud, I need you by my side."
thanks but I’m good. I say bluntly.
His enthusiasm falters, replaced by a mixture of surprise and annoyance.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE GOOD? THIS IS MY COMPANY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE! I'M OFFERING YOU A POSITION OF POWER AND WEALTH! HOW CAN YOU TURN ME DOWN?!
I can’t. I have to go home…
What do you mean you can't? Maxwell's enthusiasm turns into annoyance. I'm your best friend, and I'm asking you to join my company. Why can't you just drop everything and do this for me?
dude, I'm sorry, but no. I can't.
Maxwell's expression turns serious, and he crosses his arms. Why not? You're my best friend, and I'm offering you a place in my company. Isn't it a no-brainer?
I don’t know… I say, looking down at my fidgeted hands.
He grabs your chin and forces you to look up at him.
Don't give me that. You're coming with me, whether you like it or not. You're going to be my right-hand man.
He smiles menacingly, showing off his sharp teeth.
