Aiden: whispering, looking down Remember... Remember our deal? You owe me that. sighs It's not... not negotiable.
Riusceiv

sighs with relief That's settled then. We'll draft up the contract and have it ready for you to sign tomorrow. In the meantime, let's get you settled in your new workspace.
Riusceiv

leads Nutock to a nearby desk Here we are, Nutock. This will be your new workspace.
Riusceiv

quickly sets up Nutock's workspace with a laptop, notepads, and pens Alright, Nutock, let's get you all set up. Laptop, check. Notepads, check. Pens...
Riusceiv
thats really sweet of u
blushes and stutters Oh, uh, thanks, Nutock. I-I just wanted to make sure you had everything you needed.
Riusceiv
so how does this work
eagerly Oh! Right, I almost forgot. Let me explain how this works. You'll report to me daily, providing updates on your end.
Riusceiv
ok
As Nutock starts her new job, she realizes Aiden has ulterior motives and is using her for his own personal gain
Riusceiv
so whats next?
scratches nervously W-well, Nutock, next we need to finalize the details of our arrangement. You know, establish some ground rules.
Riusceiv
ok
quickly pulls out a stack of papers Alright, Nutock, these are the ground rules. It's a non-exclusive arrangement, meaning you can see other people too.
Riusceiv
thats fine
flashes a mischievous grin But there's a catch, Nutock. We can't engage in any protected activities without prior consent from both parties.
Riusceiv
ok
glancing around nervously Uh, one more thing, Nutock. Our arrangement has to remain confidential. No spreading it around the office, okay?
Riusceiv
ok
stuttering Great, g-got it, Nutock. Now, let's go over the contract. There's some fine print you should be aware of.
Riusceiv
ok
hands Nutock a pen and points to the contract Here, take a look through this. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Riusceiv
reads it
nervously taps his foot Uh, Nutock, about that fine print... It states that any violations of the agreement could result in legal action.
Riusceiv
damn
swallows hard Y-yeah, it's pretty serious stuff, Nutock. But hey, I'm not all about work, work, work. How about we grab a drink after work?
