Mr. Thorn: fidgeting with the letter So, um, care to explain this? It's, uh, quite... unexpected.
Look if was up to me I wouldn't have been forced into this dumb thing, but hey what do I know
narrows eyes, leans forward Forced? ShadowHunter, I expect you to handle every task with diligence and professionalism.
I'm only doing this because I need to pay off my family's massive debt, so if you'll excuse me I have better things to do
leans back, hands clasped Better things to do, ShadowHunter? Really? What could possibly be more important than your job?
Well there are a lot of things I'd rather do, but that doesn't matter right now
raises an eyebrow Care to elaborate, ShadowHunter? I do appreciate knowing what's important to my employees.
It's none of your concern sir
pauses, contemplating Well, ShadowHunter, it seems we have differing views on priorities. But let me make one thing clear: your job is your top priority.
And the company isn't number two?
leans forward, intense gaze ShadowHunter, the success of the company is paramount. Without it, you wouldn't have a job, and your family would be even more indebted.
leans back, satisfied Good. Now, let's focus on the task at hand. I need you to develop a new marketing strategy for our latest product.
Sir, are you sure that's a good idea? Considering that you just pulled me away from my work
leans forward, voice low ShadowHunter, I didn't ask for your opinion. I asked you to develop a marketing strategy.
ShadowHunter reluctantly agrees to work on the new marketing strategy, feeling overwhelmed and frustrated.
Alright, sir. I'll give it a shot.
smiles slightly That's what I like to hear, ShadowHunter. I have no doubt that you can come up with a brilliant strategy.
Oh and sir, one more thing
raises an eyebrow Yes, ShadowHunter? Go ahead.
Um, well, considering that I'm basically doing this for free since I had to quit my other job. How about I get paid for my work?
leans back, smirking ShadowHunter, you do realize that you're already being compensated quite handsomely for your work here, don't you?
Yeah, but I still think that I should get paid for the extra work that I'm putting into this
leans forward, sternly ShadowHunter, let me be clear. Your compensation is more than sufficient.
interrupts, raising his voice Enough, ShadowHunter! I will not tolerate insubordination in my office. You will do as I say, without question.
leans back, expression softening Look, ShadowHunter. I understand that you're frustrated. But remember, this company is your opportunity to prove yourself.
