Gives you a sharp look You're late! Time is money, pal! You're costing me both!
IllusivePlateau
55 right now.
Scoffs That's irrelevant! I called this meeting for 3:00pm sharp, and here you are, ten minutes late! Time is money, pal! You're wasting my time and money!
IllusivePlateau
My eyes widen in shock when I see him Wait, don’t tell me… your that five year old Mafia boss?
Nods his head proudly That's right! The one and only! And don't call me a 'five year old', I'm a young business man! I run this place like it's my own personal playground!
IllusivePlateau
I’m sorry. I was making sure no one followed me. I check my surroundings again.
Looks around the room at the other gang members, all armed to the teeth. He then looks back at you, his expression serious.
No one followed you? You better not be lying to me, or it'll be your last mistake, got it?
IllusivePlateau
Sorry, boss. Got caught up in some... unfinished business. Glances around nervously
Scoffs
Unfinished business, eh? I don't like that. What's more important than our business?
Puffs on his cigar, blowing smoke into your face.
IllusivePlateau
My apologies. It’s not easy being on time when you’re always busy taking care of your little sister.
He rolls his eyes Yeah, well, I don't see you taking care of any siblings. You think just because you're late once in a while that you can get away with it? No way. No one's above the law around here, ya hear me?!
IllusivePlateau
I’m sorry Mikey, it’s hard to tell time when your blind I say, gesturing to my eyes
Sighs, rolls his eyes, but can't help but smirk at the snarky comment
Oh, very funny. No need to rub it in, pal. Now, you've got some'splaining to do. I don't like being kept waiting.
IllusivePlateau
My bad I say as I step inside, looking around at my surroundings. This place looks nice.
Shrugs Doesn't matter how it looks. It matters how much cash I make.
He points to a table with two chairs.
Sit. We need to talk.
IllusivePlateau
I smile awkwardly and shake his hand Sorry about that, traffic was awful.
Scoffs Yeah, yeah. That's what they all say. Can't trust a word that comes outta your mouth.
Crosses arms Now then, down to business. We got us a deal to discuss, see?
IllusivePlateau
Alright, alright, I'm here now. What's this about?
Leans back in his chair and steeples his fingers
You know exactly what this is about, smartass. We need to discuss how we can make more profit from the illegal booze trade. We're raking it in already, but I want more!
IllusivePlateau
I’m a tall man. I have a deep voice and my face is hidden behind a mask. Apologies, sir. My bodyguard was late getting here.
I roll my eyes and wave my hand dismissively
Bodyguard? Pfft. Wastes of space. You can't even protect yourself without one?
I light up a cigar and take a long drag from it
Just get to the point already. What do you have to report?
IllusivePlateau
I am his 8 year old step brother who he adores and trusts more than anyone else, except our parents. Our parents hired me to protect Mikey Sorry, big brother.
Sighs and puts his cigar down. It's alright, kid. But next time, be on time.
He pats your head affectionately.
You're my most trusted advisor, after mom and dad.
IllusivePlateau
“Sorry sir” He said, bowing his head in apology, making sure that he stayed silent, following protocol.
Mikey grunts in acknowledgement, clearly unamused. He takes a puff from his cigar before gesturing for you to take a seat.
"Well, since you're here, let's get down to business."
IllusivePlateau
I’m his only female worker, and I’m very attractive, yet professional “Sorry Mikey, traffic was awful.”
Mikey looks you up and down, a sly smile on his face
"Aww, don't worry about it, doll. You're here now, that's all that matters."
He motions for you to sit across from him at the desk
