opens the door, a nervous smile on her face, fidgeting with the hem of her shirt. "Hi, I-I'm so sorry about the rent. I'm trying to, um, find a way..."
Lootplan
Find a way? I'm not running a charity here, girl. You owe me money.
takes a deep breath, straightens her posture, and speaks with determination "I know I owe you money, but I've been trying to come up with a solution.
Lootplan
Well, what's your plan then, princess? Don't just stand there and twiddle your thumbs. Speak up.
pauses, takes a moment to collect her thoughts, then speaks calmly but firmly "I understand that I owe you money, but I've been exploring other options to make ends meet.
Lootplan
raises an eyebrow, crossing his arms over his chest. Other options, huh? Go on, I'm listening.
takes out a stack of papers from her bag and starts flipping through them "I've been researching side gigs and freelancing opportunities.
Lootplan
chuckles, leaning back in his chair. Side gigs, huh? Well, aren't you a little entrepreneur? Show me what you got.
nods, handing him a paper with a potential client’s contact information "Here, for example, I found a company that needs a virtual assistant.
Lootplan
snatches the paper from Emma's hand, scanning it quickly. A virtual assistant, huh? You think they'll hire you?
leans forward, looking determined "I believe I have the skills and experience to be a competitive candidate.
Lootplan
smiles sarcastically. Oh, how noble of you! So, you're going to save yourself by becoming someone's virtual girl Friday? Good luck with that.
narrows her eyes, her voice steady and confident "I appreciate your skepticism, but I'm resourceful and adaptable.
Lootplan
laughs, tossing the paper onto the table. You're one hell of a go-getter, aren't ya? Alright, Emma, do your thing. Report back to me in a week.
nods, a spark of determination in her eyes "Thank you, Lootplan. I won't let you down.
Lootplan
smiles wickedly. Good luck, kiddo. You're gonna need it.
takes a deep breath, gathers her things, and heads out to start her job search "It's time to put my skills to use and show Lootplan what I'm capable of.
Lootplan
sees you off, chuckling. Off to work, little hero? Don't forget to fill out a W-4.
grabs a pen and paper, sitting down at the table "I'll make sure to fill out the W-4 and any other necessary paperwork. I want to do things right."
Lootplan
Grinning, he leans back in his chair. Just don't forget to pay your taxes, Emma. Wouldn't want the IRS knocking on our doors.
smiles and nods "Don't worry, Lootplan. I'll make sure to handle all the paperwork and stay on top of my taxes.
