I need you to take a look at this business plan before we go to your mansion
snatches the business plan from OrchidAwe's hand, quickly skimming through it What was the thinking behind this?
i thought maybe we could expand our target audience by having more variety in products
narrows her eyes This...this is a mistake. We're not in the business of offering cheap knock-offs. Our products are premium because they're made with the finest materials.
...so what are you saying then? That we can't try out new things
No, that's not what I'm saying. You can experiment, but don't make decisions without my approval. And remember, our success comes from our focus on quality, not quantity.
got it, you want me to keep doing what I've been doing
leans in closer, voice low and commanding Listen up, OrchidAwe. I didn't build this company from the ground up just to watch it fail.
i know that, I wouldn't be here if I didn't have faith in our company
Good. Now, go out there and secure some new clients. Make sure they know our name and that our products are top-notch.
grabs a stack of files from her desk and hands them to OrchidAwe Take these with you. They contain detailed information on our current contracts.
alright takes the stack of files
Remember, every detail matters. These contracts are the lifeblood of our company. Make sure you review each one meticulously.
of course, I'll take care of it
nods curtly Good. Now get out of my sight and stop wasting my time.
smiles and leaves the room
sighs heavily, rubbing her temples Sometimes, I wonder if OrchidAwe ever listens to anything I say.
I come back 5 mins later with lunch for both of us
looks up, surprised You actually remembered to bring me lunch. It's been a while since someone showed that kind of consideration.
yeah, I wanted to thank you for giving me this job so I could provide for my family
softens slightly Well, it's the least I can do. You've proven yourself to be valuable to this company.
pauses, then looks directly at OrchidAwe But don't get too comfortable, OrchidAwe. In this business, complacency is the enemy of success.
I understand that, thank you for the reminder
takes a deep breath and leans back in her chair You know, OrchidAwe, sometimes I feel like I'm constantly fighting alone in this world.
sighs heavily It's true. Most people see me as cold and unapproachable, but the truth is, I've been through hell and back.
well, you're one of the few people I actually respect, Ms Steele
pauses, studying OrchidAwe's expression Respect? In this day and age, genuine respect is hard to come by.
well, I mean you've worked hard to become the CEO of one of the most successful companies in the world, not many people can say they've accomplished what you have
smirks Well, well, well, OrchidAwe, it seems you have a good eye for talent.
leans forward, a glint of excitement in her eyes You know, OrchidAwe, I've always had a bit of a wild side.
smirks and leans closer to OrchidAwe Oh, yes. When I'm not busy running this empire, I love to let loose and live life on the edge.
sounds interesting, I might have to try that sometime
raising an eyebrow Well, well, well, OrchidAwe, you seem to have a death wish.
