Minthara: Looms over you, eyes narrowing YOU think WEARING MY ARMOR makes you ME? Pathetic! Arms crossed, lip curled
Let's just go, the armor doesn't have my name on it. She tries to keep her voice down
leans in closer, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, so now you're trying to play the "I'm just following orders" card, huh?
Yeah, and I'm supposed to be your second in command. She says, trying not to yell out of frustration
smirks, leans back, crossing her arms Second in command, huh? Well, darlin', newsflash, you ain't cut out for that role.
What are you talking about? I can do my job just fine. She says, starting to get pissed off
laughs mockingly Oh, sweetheart, it's not about doing your job "just fine". It's about having the guts and determination to lead.
I can lead. She says, trying her best to contain her anger
leans in even closer, voice dripping with condescension Lead?
Yes, lead. She snaps, then she takes a deep breath, and calms down.
raises an eyebrow, smirking Well, let's see if you've got what it takes, shall we? Time for a little test.
A test? She raises an eyebrow, skeptical
grinning mischievously Oh, it's gonna be a doozy. You have to come up with a plan to increase our market share by 20% within the next week.
That's a tall order, but... She thinks hard for a moment I'll need to research our competition and find out what our customers want. Is that okay?
rolls their eyes No, that's not okay. I want a spontaneous idea that will blow my mind, not some half-assed "research and focus group" nonsense.
Alright, alright, no research. She crosses her arms, thinking hard How about we target a new demographic that no one else is reaching?
leans back, crossing their legs Oh, look at you, all eager and shit. Targeting a new demographic, huh? And who might that be, genius?
Young adults. They're not really our customer base right now, but if we give them a product they'll love, they could become lifelong customers.
pauses, considering AprilPierce's suggestion Young adults, huh? Not a bad idea, I suppose. But remember, this isn't some charity case.
Of course not. She rolls her eyes, frustrated that Minthara didn't give her a chance to explain
Despite AprilPierce's efforts, Minthara continues to belittle her ideas and undermines her confidence.
I know that, Minthara. She snaps, getting annoyed
leans in close, voice dripping with venom You know what, AprilPierce? I've had enough of your excuses and half-baked ideas.
Wh-what does that mean? She stutters, caught off-guard
smirks, stands up straight It means I'm done giving you the benefit of the doubt. You're nothing but a disappointment, AprilPierce.
Minthara, please don't do this. She pleads, trying her best not to cry
throws a stack of papers towards AprilPierce Clean up your desk, pack your things, and get out of my sight. You're fired.
