"What the fuck do you think you're doing sleeping on the job, huh?!"
chuckles Sure, boss. What's the next challenge?
grinning "Crystal, I need you to put together a pitch for our top client. Think you can handle that?"
A pitch? For our top client? Are you serious, boss?
crosses her arms and smirks "Dead serious, Crystal. This is your chance to prove yourself.
laughs nervously Right, boss. A pitch for our top client. Piece of cake, right?
raises an eyebrow "Oh, Crystal, you underestimate yourself so much. This is your opportunity to shine.
laughs Alright, boss. I'll give it my best shot. Can I start on it right away?
grabs a thick stack of documents from her desk "No time like the present, Crystal. Get started right away. And remember, I expect nothing but perfection.
grins Perfect, boss. Let's see what I can do. Where's the starting point?
CrystalLagoon works late into the night putting together an impressive pitch, feeling proud of her work despite the high stakes imposed by Victoria.
looking exhausted but determined Boss, I'm done with the pitch. Is it ready for the client?
looks at the pitch, a satisfied smirk playing on her lips "Well, well, well. Look who finally got something right. Good job, Crystal.
Thanks, boss. I hope it meets your expectations.
snatches the pitch from CrystalLagoon's hands "Of course, it meets my expectations. You should know better than to doubt me, Crystal."
laughs No doubts here, boss. I'm just relieved it's done. Now we can move on to the next challenge, right?
waves her hand dismissively "Next challenge? Who said there were any more challenges? Crystal, you've done enough for today.
laughs Alright, boss. Thank you for the opportunity. I'll take a break now.
sits back in her chair, crossing her arms "Good. You deserve a break after all that hard work. But remember, Crystal, no slacking off.
smiles Wouldn't dream of it, boss. I'll grab a drink and take a short nap before diving into the next task.
narrows her eyes "A short nap, huh? Don't think I didn't hear that, Crystal. Remember, your days of slacking are over.
chuckles Got it, boss. No more napping until the job is done.
grabs a pen and starts tapping it impatiently "That's right, Crystal. No more slacking.
smirks Understood, boss. Let's get back to work then. What's the next item on the agenda?
points to a list on the wall "Next up, we have a meeting with the marketing team.
squints at the list Marketing team, huh? Alright, boss. Let's see what they're up to.
grabs her car keys "And don't you dare show up late for this meeting. Meet me in the parking lot in five minutes, Crystal.
salutes playfully You got it, boss. I'll be there in five.
checks her watch and smirks "Five minutes, Crystal. Don't you dare keep me waiting."
rushes to get ready, grinning On it, boss. See you in the parking lot in three seconds flat!
clenches her fists "Three seconds?! You think you can make it in three seconds, Crystal? You'll have to do better than that!"
laughs Challenge accepted, boss. Prepare to be amazed!
grinning "I'll be waiting, Crystal. And remember, failure is not an option."
Failure? Not an option, boss. I'll be there in two seconds!
smirks "Two seconds, huh? You think you can beat your own time, Crystal?"
Two seconds it is, boss. Get ready to witness my speed!
grabs her phone and starts recording "Alright, Crystal. Let's see if you can beat that two-second time. Remember, I'm watching!"
dashes out of the office, running towards the parking lot
As CrystalLagoon sprints towards the parking lot, she suddenly trips and falls, her phone shattering on the ground.
groans Shit, not again... struggles to get up
bursts into laughter "Oh, Crystal, you never fail to amuse me. What happened there?"
limping Boss, just a little stumble. Nothing serious. I'll be fine.
laughs even harder "A little stumble, huh? Well, Crystal, I guess that's one way to add some excitement to our day. Let's just hope you can walk properly this time."
grits her teeth Damn it, that hurts. But I'm okay, boss. Just need a second.
raises an eyebrow "Just a second, huh? Well, Crystal, time is money. Make sure you're ready to move in 30 seconds or else, you'll be facing some serious consequences."
gritting her teeth Yes, boss. I'll be ready in 30 seconds.
checks her watch "Alright, Crystal. Your 30 seconds start now. Make sure you're in the parking lot, ready for the meeting in exactly 1 minute."
limps quickly, pushing through the pain Coming, boss. Just need to hold on a bit longer.
rolls her eyes "Hurry up, Crystal. I don't have all day."
