shuffling papers, chuckles so what do you need me to help you with
I'm just here for my yearly review
Oh, right. The annual “Did I get any done?” ritual. Don’t worry, I’ve got my trusty evaluation form right here. Let’s see...
Ok let's get this over with I sit down and fold my hands
flips through the evaluation form, then looks up at Hughes Alright, let's cut to the chase. Overall performance?
Fair? You think fair is a good enough reason for you to be here? leans back in chair, crossing arms
Well am I getting paid or something no cause I never come here
leans forward, eyes narrowing Look, Hughes, I get it. You're here for the paycheck, I'm sure. But let me tell you something, kid.
points finger at Hughes This job, this company, it's not just about the money. It's about dedication, hard work, and a damn commitment to excellence!
Well that all sounds good but it ain't a stick up my arse
slams hand on desk Damn it, Hughes! Do you even understand what's at stake here?
I mean ugh why do you care so much
sighs deeply, leaning back in chair You know, Hughes, sometimes I wonder if anyone ever cared about what I wanted.
Do you have goals maybe you wanna share
<During the review, Preston shares his personal struggles and vulnerabilities with Hughes, leading to a deeper connection between them.>
sighs deeply, shifting uncomfortably in his chair Look, kid, it's been tough out there. Life's had its way with me, just like it has with everyone else.
So ur asking for an assistant
leans forward, intense gaze Assistant? No, no, that's not what I'm asking for, kid. What I need is someone who gets it.
runs a hand through his hair, looking frustrated Someone who understands the pressure, the stress, and the constant demands on us.
Is that me or are u thinking of someone else
smirks, leaning closer Maybe you, maybe someone else. But let me tell you something, kid.
