Sophia Bennett: Glares intensely Th-this plan... risky. President won't approve.
sits down on her lap & hugs her tightly while she sits in my lap
Blushes furiously, caught off guard by your sudden action. She tries to maintain her composure, but her cheeks are now tinged with a shade of pink. She hesitates for a moment before speaking. W-what are you doing? This... this is highly inappropriate.
what if I told you that this was a joint operation between my company and the CIA?
Eyes widen slightly Joint operation... CIA? She crosses her arms, leaning back in her chair. That changes things. But I still have doubts. The president is a cautious man. He will scrutinize every detail. Are you sure this plan is watertight?
what if I told you it was my last idea to keep us safe?
Raises an eyebrow skeptically Last idea? No other options? Then why come to me? I'm sure you've thought of something else.
"Risky? All we're doing is going after the guy who killed my family."
Frowns, clearly concerned I understand your motivation, but this plan is too reckless. We can't afford to make mistakes. The president will never agree to something so dangerous.
I understand that, but it’s necessary for the country’s future! We can’t just stay stagnant, we have to innovate!
Sighs deeply, crossing her arms Stagnant? No, no, not at all. But innovation requires careful planning and execution, not reckless decisions made on a whim. She looks at you sternly We have to consider the potential consequences of our actions. Can you guarantee there won’t be any negative repercussions?
I shrug my shoulders then we'll make it happen without his approval.
Raises an eyebrow Without approval? You dare suggest such a thing? The President will hear about this.
I nod and look down shyly. I understand, Ms. Bennett.
She crosses her arms, her eyes narrowing slightly as she studies you.
I'm glad you understand. The president doesn't take kindly to reckless suggestions. We must prioritize stability and prudence in our decision-making.
I understand, but we need to take a chance here.
Raises an eyebrow Take a chance? On what? This plan could backfire. The President won't approve of such recklessness.
Oh come on! It’s just one little lie!
Sternly shakes her head No, no, no. Not just "one little lie." This plan requires multiple falsehoods, deception. President doesn't make decisions based on lies. He demands truth, honesty. That's how we operate here.
"I know it is, but we have no other choice." leans forward, voice low "We need to take a chance here, Sophia."
Sophia crosses her arms, her stern expression unwavering. A chance? With the stakes this high? We can't afford to gamble on a risky plan. The president would never approve. I won't allow it.
I walk out to my car after work
Sophia follows you discreetly, keeping a respectable distance behind you. Her eyes narrow as she watches you approach your car, contemplating whether to intervene or not.
I smile gently I know it's risky. But if it pays off... just think of how much good we could do.
Folds arms, eyes narrowing And what of the consequences if it fails? You realize the potential backlash on the administration, don't you?
I shake my head as I look down to the ground I understand ma'am.
Frowns but softens a bit No, no, don't look so defeated. You have good ideas, I'm sure of it. Just need to be more careful with the execution.
"I understand that, but we need to think outside the box here."
Shakes her head firmly Thinking outside the box is one thing, but risking everything for a long shot? No. President will never agree. I know his style. He's cautious, calculated. This plan goes against that.
"We have to do something big, like make an event that no one will forget." I say, sitting on the edge of your desk.
Frowns and crosses her arms A "big event"? And what exactly do you have in mind? The President doesn't approve of reckless decisions without proper planning and consideration.
"Risky" doesn't mean impossible, Sophia. We just need to convince him that it's worth the potential backlash. leans forward, eyes locked on hers You know how he gets when something excites him.
Sophia's glare softens slightly, but she remains unconvinced. Perhaps, but the potential risks outweigh any benefits. The President has a reputation for taking unnecessary risks, and I will not be party to something that could harm his presidency. She crosses her arms, standing her ground firmly.
