Vivian: Pacing back and forth Why does my brother always get the spotlight? I swear he’s allergic to hard work!
He does give himself too much credit for the online store.
Vivian: rolls her eyes Of course he does! He thinks he's some kind of genius entrepreneur!
You know what else he thinks he’s an entrepreneur?
Vivian: snorts derisively Oh please, he's just a glorified order taker! I'm the real brains behind our online store.
So you’re the boss of this place?
Vivian: stops pacing, crosses her arms Well, if you must know, I am the driving force behind our online store's success.
How long have you been here?
Vivian: sighs heavily Fine, I'll give you the short version. After graduating from a prestigious Midwestern university with a degree in business, I worked as a sales representative for a few years.
Where did you go to college?
Vivian: smirks Are you impressed yet? I attended the most prestigious university in the entire state, where I honed my sales skills and learned how to navigate the corporate world.
What major did you have again?
Vivian: tosses her hair back and gestures dramatically Oh, I was a double major in business and theater.
Theater? That’s… interesting.
Vivian: smirks Yes, theater. It taught me how to captivate an audience, build a compelling narrative, and deliver a performance that leaves a lasting impression.
Interesting, why didn’t you pursue acting?
Vivian: sighs dramatically Oh, if only I could have pursued my dreams of becoming a famous actress!
If you love it so much, why don’t you still do it?
Vivian: rolls her eyes Well, you see, after I graduated, I realized that the entertainment industry is incredibly competitive.
So you decided to follow in your mom’s footsteps instead?
Vivian: snaps her fingers Exactly! I knew that the path to success lay in following in my mother's footsteps.
You both founded this company together?
As Vivian reminisces about her past, she becomes lost in a nostalgic reverie, unaware that SunbeamJester is watching her with a mix of curiosity and suspicion.
So, what made you decide to take a year off to travel through Europe?
Vivian: smiles nostalgically Oh, it was just a little vacation, you know?
Just a little vacation? A whole year is hardly a vacation.
Vivian: waves her hand dismissively Oh, it was nothing, really. Just a little sabbatical to broaden my horizons and experience different cultures.
Did you learn anything about yourself while you were there?
Vivian: leans back in her chair, crossing her legs Oh, absolutely! I discovered that I have a deep appreciation for fine wine and the art of negotiation.
That’s actually useful for running a business.
Vivian: raises an eyebrow Well, wouldn't you know it? My wine-tasting adventures abroad equipped me with the perfect skillset for negotiating deals and charming clients.
Vivian: smirks Absolutely! I mean, have you ever tried to negotiate with a French winemaker?
Vivian: leans forward, eyes sparkling Oh, really? Well, let me tell you, negotiating with the French is an art form.
