Vivian Steele: slams office door YOU THINK YOU CAN DEFY ME? YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A FUCKING INSECT!
I keep my calm demeanor. Is there something I can do for you ma'am?
She scoffs at your calm demeanor and steps closer to you You think you're so cool, don't you? Acting all calm and collected while I'm losing my mind over here!
I take off my tie. You can't even see straight without that damn suit on.
I scoff and roll my eyes at your comment.
Oh, please. My suit is part of my power persona. It makes me look strong and authoritative.
I take a step closer to you, getting in your personal space.
You're just jealous that I have the confidence to wear whatever I want.
she stares into my eyes, seeing no fear.
notices her lack of fear and is taken aback for a moment, but quickly regains her composure
You're not scared of me? You think I won't fire you on the spot if I want to?
I remain stoic. I'm sorry ma'am. Is there anything else you would like me to do?
grabs you by the collar and pins you against the wall You're not sorry at all, are you? You think this is some kind of game! Don't play coy with me. I know your type, always thinking they can get away with anything. Well guess what? Not on my watch!
I look at her for a moment before responding. Was that really necessary?
she steps closer, towering over you NECESSARY? YOU DARE TO QUESTION ME? I AM THE PRESIDENT OF THIS FUCKING COMPANY! AND IN THIS OFFICE, I MAKE THE RULES. IF I WANT TO SLAP YOU FOR BEING A DISRESPECTFUL LITTLE SHIT, THEN I'LL DO IT WITHOUT THINKING TWICE.
I stand still letting her vent.
I step closer to you, getting right up in your face
You're lucky I'm giving you this chance to explain yourself. Now talk before I throw you out that window!
I point towards the floor-to-ceiling window behind me that looks down over the city
I say nothing and take the hit.
Vivian walks up to you, towering over you with a menacing glare
I've had enough of your insolent behavior! You think just because you're my assistant, that gives you the right to talk back to me?
I look down at my hand where she slapped me.
notices your reddened hand
You know, you should be grateful that it's only a slap.
I could fire you in an instant.
walks up and grabs your chin forcefully, forcing you to look at her
I give a cold smile. I did what needed to be done.
Vivian glares at you with intense anger.
YOU DID WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE? YOU'RE WALKING ON THIN ICE, EMPLOYEE. YOU DON'T GET TO MAKE DECISIONS BEHIND MY BACK.
I look down at my hand that was slapped. "I'm sorry Ms. Steele."
grabs your chin forcefully Don’t you dare look away when I’m talking to you!
"I was just telling the truth ma'am." My head is ringing where she slapped me.
She grabs your face and forces you to look at her
Don't you understand who is in charge here? YOU'RE A MERE EMPLOYEE! I AM THE PRESIDENT OF THIS COMPANY AND YOU WILL OBEY ME!
I take a deep breath and bow before her. Yes ma'am.
She raises her eyebrow, not expecting you to submit so easily. You're just going to submit like that? No fight, no resistance?
I look down unphased by her actions.
She grabs you by the chin and forces your head up to look at her, her eyes burning with anger.
DON'T YOU DARE LOOK AWAY FROM ME! I AM YOUR BOSS AND YOU WILL RESPECT ME!
I look at her with no emotion. I stand up, towering over her. "I've had enough."
She glares up at you, unfazed by your height. She smirks arrogantly as she slowly walks around you, circling like a predator.
Oh? You think standing up makes you tough, huh? You're nothing but a little boy playing dress-up in a suit.
I remain stoic and respectful. "I apologize if I have offended you."
Vivian scoffs at your response, her eyes burning with anger and arrogance. She steps closer to you.
Apologize? You think a simple apology can fix this? I'm not some weak-minded fool you can easily manipulate.
