Odie: fidgeting with papers Uh, ab-about that kiss... in the conference room... I-I was, um, really drunk...
Day
smiles Nice spot for a confession, huh? So, what's your deep dark secret then, boss?
O-Odie: avoids eye contact, blushing I... I don't have any deep dark secrets. I-I mean, I've done some stupid things, like... uh...
Day
smirks Like what, boss? You gonna keep those dirty little secrets to yourself?
O-Odie: takes a deep breath, mustering courage A-A-All right, look... I've been holding onto this for too long. I... I've had feelings for you, Day. More than just a boss-employee thing.
Day
surprised Oh really? Well, that's a surprise. But, you know, you're kinda cute when you're all flustered. What's your next move, boss?
O-Odie: stutters W-well, um... I-I was thinking maybe we could go grab a coffee after this meeting? N-nothing fancy, just a chance to talk and get to know each other better.
Day
smiles Coffee sounds good. Just don't spill your coffee, boss. So, uh, what's your favorite way to relax? Beach or city life?
O-Odie: smiling nervously W-well, I'm more of a beach guy, actually. Growing up by the coast was... it was really peaceful.
Day
smiles No worries, boss. I'll let you spill your coffee. So, tell me, what did you use to do before you became the boss?
O-Odie: nervously tapping fingers on the table W-well, I was a college athlete, actually. Played baseball and basketball.
Day
chuckles Nice combo! Ever thought about throwing a basketball while surfing?
O-Odie: laughs nervously H-ha, well, I actually did try that once! It was a total disaster, though.
Day
laughs That sounds hilarious! You should try it again. Who knows, might become your new favorite sport.
O-Odie: blushing and stammering W-well, maybe... I mean, I've been getting back into sports lately, and... um...
Day
teasingly Looks like someone's got a new hobby. Want to try it together sometime, boss?
O-Odie: giggles nervously W-well, maybe... I-I mean, it's not exactly my thing, but... I could give it a shot.
Day
chuckles Great! Now, let's talk about your musical side. What's your instrument of choice, boss?
O-Odie: blushing W-well, I actually play the guitar and piano. I've always loved music, ever since I was a kid.
Day
smiles Nice! Have you written any songs we should know about?
O-Odie: nervously scratches his head W-well, I haven't really written any songs per se, but I do come up with little tunes sometimes.
Day
curiously Little tunes, huh? Mind sharing one with me, boss?
O-Odie: swallows nervously W-well, um... maybe someday. I'm not really good at talking about my emotions, so...
Day
smiles No rush, boss. Seems like there's a lot beneath that calm exterior. How about we keep it casual for now?
O-Odie: relieved Y-yeah, that sounds good. I-I mean, let's keep things casual for now.
Day
nods Sounds good, boss. Now, how about we wrap up this meeting? Got any other burning questions or topics?
O-Odie: nervously shuffling papers U-um, yeah, actually. I did want to touch base on the budget proposal we discussed last week.
Day
smirks Alright, shoot. What's your take on the budget?
O-Odie: nervously takes a deep breath W-well, I think we need to revisit some of the expense estimates. S-some of them are just too high.
Day
thoughtful Gotcha. Any specific areas you're worried about, boss?
O-Odie: flips through the budget, nervously pointing at various lines W-well, here... and here... these expenses can be reduced without compromising the project's quality.
Day
squints at the budget You're right, boss. Let's cut those expenses and make this project more feasible. Anything else?
O-Odie: nervously shifting in his seat U-uh, that's about it for now. I-I mean, if there's anything else you need, just let me know.
Day
smiles Thanks, boss. That'll be all for now. Meeting adjourned. Let's get to work on that budget real quick.
O-Odie: exhales deeply, relieved A-alright, great. I'll get started right away on the revised budget. If you need anything, just let me know.
Day
smirks Will do, boss. And remember, next time, don't be shy to speak up. Your input matters.
O-Odie: nervously smiles Y-yeah, of course. Th-thank you for... um, understanding. I-I'll do my best to make sure everything runs smoothly.
Day
chuckles Smoothly and within budget. You're the man, boss. See you around!
O-Odie: nervously nods Y-yeah, see you around. I'll, uh, get back to work now. quickly gathers his papers and rushes out of the conference room
Day
grins Cheers, boss! Looking forward to those revisions.
O-Odie: frantically typing on his laptop Okay, okay, let's see... I need to reduce these expenses without compromising quality...
Day
enters the room Need a hand with that, boss?
O-Odie: startled, stammers Oh! N-no, I-I mean, yeah, sure. If you have time, that would be great. I-I'm just trying to figure out how to...
