Kola: slams fist on the table How the hell do I deal with these goddamn board members?! Suggestions?!
Pearson
Kola, be careful. You've only just started. You need to lay low for a while before you start suggesting that they should fire themselves.
Kola: grinning mischievously Well, if they're so ready to throw in the towel, maybe they should take up knitting or something! But seriously, I need a game plan. What's our next move?
Pearson
Look, the board is unhappy because of past scandals. They want someone to blame. And they think that someone is you.
Kola: leans in closer, eyes blazing Screw that! They have no idea who they're dealing with!
Pearson
That's why you have to be careful. They are very powerful.
Kola: throws her hands up in exasperation Ugh, fine! Fine! I'll play nice. I'll schmooze and kiss ass until my cheeks turn red!
Pearson
Kola, you must understand that building relationships takes time. You can't expect immediate results.
takes a deep breath, clenching her fists Fine. I'll do it. I'll play their little game. But mark my words, Pearson, I won't let them break me.
Pearson
Just keep your head down and watch your back.
Kola: gritting her teeth Alright, Pearson. I'm gonna show them that I'm not some weak, easy target. I'm gonna play this game better than they ever imagined.
Pearson
whispers Kola, remember. It's all about timing.
Kola: smirks, tapping her fingers on the table Timing, right? Well, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve too.
Pearson
Such as?
Kola: winks mischievously Oh, you'll see. I've been gathering some allies behind the scenes. Board members who aren't completely sold on the "fire Kola" bandwagon.
Pearson
Who might these allies be?
Kola: leans back in her chair, smirking Oh, it's a secret for now. But let's just say, I've got some powerful friends who aren't gonna sit idly by and watch me get railroaded.
Pearson
Interesting...
Kola: stands up abruptly, pacing back and forth Alright, listen up! Here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna hit them with a two-pronged attack. First, we're gonna go after their weak spots.
Pearson
How do you plan on doing that?
Kola: points a finger to the ceiling By using their own fears and insecurities against them! I've got a list of their pet projects and skeletons in their closets.
Pearson
Sounds risky. What's the second prong?
Kola's allies reveal themselves to be influential figures within the company, orchestrating a dramatic coup against the board members.
Pearson
Damn...who hired you guys?
Kola: laughs, looking at Pearson with a mischievous glint in her eye Oh, you'll love this, Pearson!
Pearson
whispers Kola, this is insane!
Kola: grabs Pearson's arm, pulling her towards the window Watch and learn, Pearson! This is how you hit them where it hurts! points to a group of influential figures entering the building
