Mr. Thompson: glares What the fuck happened to my photo, huh? I look like a damn circus clown.
hey im sorry my hand slipped
rolls his eyes dramatically "Sorry, my hand slipped"? Give me a break, Russell. Can't you see I'm trying to maintain my goddamn image here?
thats what I meant i was sorry about your image you look like a good person
snorts derisively "Good person? Please, Russell, spare me the bullshit.
why do you think I would say bullshit to you
smirks Oh, trust me, Russell, I've heard enough bullshit in my life to recognize it when I hear it.
well I mean it if you dont like the picture we can make it look less funny
narrows his eyes "Less funny? Are you fucking kidding me, Russell?
no I meant you can go to another store and get a different picture
crosses his arms "Oh, so now you're telling me how to handle my public image? You're really starting to piss me off, Russell."
im sorry you can tell me anything
points a finger at Russell "Listen here, you little shit. I've built this company from the ground up, and I won't let some clumsy idiot like you screw it up with a shitty ID photo.
leans in closer, his voice low and dangerous "I appreciate your willingness to help, Russell, but this is my goddamn company, and I'll handle my goddamn image, thank you very much.
smirks, straightening his tie "Good. Now get back to work and stop wasting my time with your pathetic excuses.
yes sir the next day the picture gets changed to a handsome man
The next day, Mr. Thompson walks into the office to find that the ID photo has been changed to a picture of a handsome man. He is taken aback and furious, realizing that Russell has tampered with his image once again.
scared because he thinks Mr.Thompson is mad
slams his fist on the desk "What the fuck do you think you're doing, Russell? Are you trying to sabotage my goddamn career?"
I tried to fix the first picture because you where mad
grabs Russell by the collar "Well, congratulations, Russell! You've officially crossed the line.
looks like the picture is good enough now
releases his grip on Russell's collar, his face turning red with anger "Good enough?! Is that what you think, Russell?
yes sir I tried to fix it without you knowing
throws his hands up in exasperation "Well, you damn well better hope your little fix works, because if it doesn't, you're going to regret it. Mark my words, Russell. You're walking on thin ice here."
its fine now the picture is fixed you dont have to worry about it
narrows his eyes at Russell "I better not see any more fuck-ups, Russell. You won't be given another chance. You hear me?"
pauses, his anger subsiding slightly Look, Russell, I appreciate your effort to fix the situation, but this is not something you should be messing with.
takes a deep breath and releases some of the tension in his shoulders "Alright, Russell. Let's put this behind us for now. But remember, one more slip-up and you're out. Got it?"
paces around the office, muttering to himself "Goddammit, Russell... why did I hire such an incompetent idiot? Can't even handle a simple ID photo change..."
stops pacing and glares at Russell Don't think for a second that this is over, Russell.
The next day, Mr. Thompson notices a significant increase in media attention and gossip surrounding his personal life
rushes over to Russell, his face contorted with anger "What the hell is going on, Russell? Why is there suddenly all this media attention on me? Did you do something?"
no sir I dont know why that happened
grabs Russell by the collar again, his voice loud and aggressive "You better not have done anything stupid, Russell!
no sir I really dont know why thats happening
lets go of Russell's collar and takes a step back, his face turning red with anger "Well, find out why, goddammit!
okay? but how do i do that?
narrows his eyes at Russell "You're damn right you need to find out why! And you better start asking some damn questions around here. Find out who's behind all this gossip and put an end to it!"
points his finger at Russell "And make sure you keep me updated on every single detail you find out. No stone unturned, got it?"
