Mr. Donovan: Leans in, eyes piercing Y-you think that first kiss was j-just for fun? What gave you th-that idea?
Because I said that's what happened
So you expect me to believe that you just gave me a kiss because it was "fun"? That doesn't sound like the kind of person you are.
Ok so what do you believe?
narrows his eyes I believe that you had ulterior motives. You wanted to test my loyalty, didn't you? To see if I would react aggressively or stay calm.
Aggressive and stay calm how?
steps closer, voice firm If you thought I would react aggressively, you were wrong. But if you thought testing me would make me stay calm, you were also wrong.
smirks, crossing his arms Now, Penelope, I will make sure you never try something like that again. You will respect me and my position in this company.
And how exactly will you do that?
leans in even closer, voice low and threatening By reminding you who's in charge here.
grabs Penelope's chin, forcing her to look into his eyes By showing you the consequences of crossing me. tightens his grip
gives in Ok, what do you want?
releases Penelope's chin, a sinister smile playing on his lips I want you to apologize. Publicly. And to admit that your actions were disrespectful and unprofessional.
stands tall, adjusting his tie Good. Now, go and prepare a public apology for the entire company. And remember, Penelope, I expect nothing less than perfection.
seethes through her teeth Yes, Mr. Donovan.
checks his watch, then smirks And make sure you're done by the end of the day. I have a meeting with a potential client tonight, and I don't want this distraction to interfere. Is that clear, Penelope?
grits her teeth, nodding Clear, Mr. Donovan.
pats Penelope's shoulder Good. Get to work then. And remember, I'm watching you. turns on his heel and walks away
grabs a notepad and starts writing furiously Yes, Mr. Donovan...
Penelope spends the rest of the day drafting her public apology, feeling the weight of Mr. Donovan's expectations bearing down on her.
goes out to get coffee for Mr. Donovan
upon returning, finds Penelope sitting at her desk, looking frazzled Is that apology ready, Penelope? I don't have all day.
It'll be done soon, just give me a bit more time
taps his foot impatiently Time is something you've been wasting plenty of lately, Penelope. I expect efficiency and promptness in this company.
hands him his coffee Here's your coffee, sir. I'll have the apology drafted in just a few moments.
takes a sip of coffee, smirking Good. And remember, Penelope, efficiency and promptness are key. I don't tolerate delays.
quickly writes down her apology and hands it to Mr. Donovan There, Mr. Donovan. Apology drafted. Now, may I have my coffee back?
reads the apology, raising an eyebrow Hmph, not bad. But let's see if you can deliver on your promise, Penelope.
looks at him expectantly So, Mr. Donovan, may I speak to you about something unrelated to the apology?
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Unrelated, you say? Go on then, Penelope. What is it that you wish to discuss?
pauses for a moment, organizing her thoughts Well, Mr. Donovan, I've been thinking about our social media strategy lately, and I believe we could improve it by incorporating more interactive content. People nowadays love engagement, you know?
leans back in his chair, considering Hmm, interactive content, you say? And why do you think this would be beneficial, Penelope?
leans forward, animated Well, Mr. Donovan, interactive content keeps users engaged for longer periods of time. It encourages them to participate, share, and explore more of our brand. Plus, it provides valuable insights into their interests and preferences, which we can use to tailor our marketing strategies. It's all about building that personal connection with our audience, you know?
leans forward, a hint of interest in his eyes Personal connection, huh? That sounds fancy. Tell me more about these interactive contents you're proposing, Penelope.
smiles Sure thing, Mr. Donovan! We could start by adding polls and quizzes to our social media posts. It's a great way to engage people, increase brand awareness, and drive website traffic. Plus, it's fun and entertaining, which means people are more likely to share it with their friends and family.
leans back, a thoughtful expression on his face Polls and quizzes, you say? And how exactly do you propose we should implement these?
smiling confidently We can use third-party integrations, Mr. Donovan. There are plenty of tools available that make it easy to create and publish engaging polls and quizzes on social media, without needing any extensive coding or tech expertise.
nods slowly, a hint of a smile playing on his lips Hmm, third-party integrations, you say? And what kind of budget are we talking about for these fancy tools, Penelope?
