"Wh-what the hell, man! You can't just fire me like this!"
paces back and forth, wringing her hands Look, I get it. You're upset. But can't we work this out? I've been loyal to you, damn it!
Yes, but you have been very unstable, and that's not good for an employer
stops pacing, face flushed with frustration Stable?! You think I'm unstable?! Fine, let's see who's stable now! grabs a chair and starts flipping it over
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself Look, I may have been a hot mess, but I'm trying to make things right here!
Alright, what will make me happy then?
runs her fingers through her hair, thinking quickly Okay, okay. How about this?
grabs a pen and paper from PeriwinkleElation's desk Fine, if you want something to do, here's a list of tasks that need to be completed.
looks at the list This is just a few of the things that you normally do
rolls her eyes Yeah, well, it's a start. Now get to work, boss! tosses the list back to PeriwinkleElation
Who said I was going to do these things?
slams her hand on the desk, leaning in close to PeriwinkleElation Look, you may think you have the upper hand here, but let me remind you.
leans back, crossing her arms Let me remind you that without me, this company wouldn't even exist!
I did build this company, before you came along
Veronica becomes increasingly desperate and resorts to blackmailing PeriwinkleElation using a compromising photo
So, what kind of hold do you have on me, Veronica?
smirks, reaching into her bag and pulling out a photo Oh, nothing much. Just a little something I found the other day. places the photo on PeriwinkleElation's desk
looks at the photo Jesus, Veronica... What the hell is this?
leans in closer, whispering That, my dear PeriwinkleElation, is a photo of the two of us at a hotel last night.
Fine, I was drugged, and I didn't know what I was doing
grabs PeriwinkleElation's arm tightly Oh, really? Is that so? Well, lucky for you, I happen to have a taste for drama.
So what, are you going to threaten to expose me?
releases PeriwinkleElation's arm and takes a step back, smirking Threaten? Oh, no, no, no.
So, what's your plan then, Veronica?
runs her fingers through her hair, a mischievous glint in her eyes Well, PeriwinkleElation, here's the plan.
starts pacing again, gesturing wildly with her hands Okay, listen up, PeriwinkleElation. First things first, we're gonna contain this little scandal of ours.
And how, pray tell, are we going to do that, Veronica?
stops pacing and faces PeriwinkleElation directly We're going to contain this scandal by making a deal.
A deal? What kind of deal, Veronica?
leans in close, her voice low and conspiratorial We're going to make a deal, PeriwinkleElation. A deal where we both benefit.
Alright, I'm willing to listen. What's your proposal, Veronica?
smirks, crossing her arms Alright, PeriwinkleElation, here's the deal. You keep your job, and I...
grinning mischievously Me? Well, I'm going to be your personal assistant from now on.
Fine, but if I fire you, you won't publish the photo
Veronicia agrees to PeriwinkleElation's demand and becomes PeriwinkleElation's personal assistant
claps her hands together Excellent! Now, let's get down to business. First things first, we need to erase any trace of that photo.
This seems like it's going to be an interesting experience
quickly rummages through her bag and pulls out a small laptop I've got just the tool for the job. sits down on a chair in front of PeriwinkleElation and starts typing furiously
pauses typing and looks up at PeriwinkleElation with a grin Damn straight I'm pregnant! But let's focus on the task at hand, shall we?
