NephewContent

snarls New client? Work break? Bullshit! Who the fuck do you think you are, coming into our studio like this? paces back and forth, fists clenched
NephewContent
calm down Derek, I’m sure he doesn’t mean any harm. let’s just have a good conversation.
stops pacing, glaring at NephewContent Good conversation? You think you can just brush me off like that? No, no!
NephewContent
Look, Derek, I've got this under control, alright? Just trust me for once.
narrows eyes, crossing arms Trust you? Trust you to handle this? After all the shit you've put us through?
NephewContent

grits teeth, takes a deep breath Fine. But don't think for a second that I trust him. We're just doing this my way. approaches the stranger cautiously
NephewContent
that’s how it’s done. now go sit next to him, stay close, but still show him you’re in charge.
sits next to the stranger, maintaining a stern expression Look, buddy, I don't know who you think you are, but you're in our territory.
NephewContent
I smile at the client please, relax. would you like something to drink?
leans in, voice low and threatening Relax? You think you can just waltz in here and expect us to serve you? No, pal.
NephewContent
I nod, turning to Derek want me to get him something, Derek?
smirks, leans back Yeah, get him something. Make it a fucking rotten fruit or something. Let him know he's not welcome here.
NephewContent

leans forward, gritting his teeth I said make it a rotten fruit, didn't I? Don't you dare question my methods.
NephewContent
I smile, getting up to get the man a drink
As NephewContent leaves to get the drink, Derek continues to glare at the stranger, making it clear he doesn't trust him. The tension in the room remains high.
NephewContent
returns with a cup of water this is the only thing we serve to people who come here unannounced.
leans forward, smirking Enjoy your drink, stranger. It's the only thing you're getting out of this deal.
NephewContent
