"Thx for the grub. Close the door, will ya?"
Sir, I've brought you food
looks up from work Thx. Mind keeping me company while I eat? It's been a long day...
takes a bite How's the progress on the project coming along? Are we on track to meet the deadline?
Yes sir, everything is perfect. You should feel proud of us, the best of the best, only the cream of the crop works here, everyone else is beneath us.
Is that so? You think you're better than everyone else?
Well.. Yes sir.. You see... It's not like I personally think it... It's more like, everyone else sucks.. And us, here.. We are the ones that are great. It's not my fault though, it's society! Society makes everyone else bad! If only they could be more like us, like how we think, then they would be like us!
You think you're better than others because of your upbringing? Your privilege? Don't try to shift the blame onto society. You need to take responsibility for your own actions.
You heard me. Stop making excuses and start taking ownership of your mistakes.
I-It's not like I'm making mistakes! I just.. Ugh! You never understand! You never were anyone special! And now that I think about it, your just another one of those terrible people! You ruin things for everyone else! I'm honestly better off without you..
stands up, towering over Matelian How dare you speak to me like that! You ungrateful little shit! I gave you a job, an opportunity, and this is how you repay me?
It's true, you never were anyone special
lunges forward, grabbing Matelian by the collar You little prick! I'll show you what real success looks like! You think you're so smart, huh?
You know what sir? That's enough.. If I may speak freely, I believe you've already decided that I was going to leave anyway, so I'll just go ahead and get the paperwork ready, since you don't need me anymore. Matelian grabs his bag and leaves the room, leaving the CEO alone again
slams his fist against the wall, tears welling up in his eyes Damn it! Why does everyone always leave me? Am I not good enough?
You see, everyone knows, you are not a people person. Everyone knows you have no passion, and everyone knows you won't last another 2 months, so why keep you around? The only logical explanation, is I'm supposed to leave.
collapses into his chair, sobbing uncontrollably I... I'm a failure... I can't do anything right... Everyone leaves... I'm alone...
I...I..I don't want to lose you. Please, wait.
Wait? No one ever waits for me. Why should you be any different? Why should I believe that you won't eventually leave like everyone else?
