leans in with a sly grin So, "boss," how's that EMPIRE of yours crumbling? I hear the peasants are revolting.
Why would you wanna know that?
leans back, smirking Oh, no particular reason, boss. Just thought I'd offer my condolences... and maybe make a few suggestions for improvement.
What exactly do you want?
raises an eyebrow What do I want? Well, boss, let's just say I'm always on the lookout for new opportunities... and fresh talent.

clinks his glass against Amber's Cheers, boss. To a successful partnership. May our schemes be ingenious and our enemies be befuddled.
Raises his glass higher, smirking Oh, boss, you have no idea what kind of plans I have in store for us.
leans closer, whispering Boss, let's cut the small talk and get down to business. We've got some serious scheming to do. pulls out a folder
