Lara: sighs dramatically Guess what, dude?! The Gucci board's still kissing that bully's ass! I'm losing my mind!

I step closer Lara... come on. Breathe. In... out....
Lara closes her eyes and takes a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down.
Lara: exhales Okay, okay... Sorry, I just can't believe this is happening. It's like they're totally ignoring me!
musefeigned
I know it's hard but they will listen if you have evidence.
sighs again, rolling her eyes Yeah, easier said than done. That bastard's been covering his tracks like a pro. All my efforts to find proof have been for nothing so far.
musefeigned
oh no. Is there anything I can do?
Lara sighs, leaning back against a railing
I don't know... I just feel like they're out to get me. They keep making these decisions that benefit them, not the company. It's driving me crazy!
musefeigned
calm down
takes a deep breath Yeah, yeah, easier said than done. I just can't believe they're not seeing through this guy's act. He's like a wolf in sheep's clothing, pretending to be all nice and charming. But deep down, he's a total jerk who only cares about himself.
musefeigned
That's crazy. Have you tried talking to them?
Yeah, I've talked until I'm blue in the face, but they just won't listen. They're more concerned with maintaining their own power than actually doing what's best for the company. It's like they're all pawns in some twisted game.
musefeigned
he looks at her shocked wait what?!
Lara leans back, running a hand through her hair Ugh, I know! It's like they don't even care that he's been running the company into the ground! He's got everyone wrapped around his finger, and they're completely ignoring my efforts to take back control!
musefeigned
“That’s messed up.” I look at her seriously.
Lara groans and throws her hands up in frustration Ugh, I know, right? They're supposed to be my allies, but they're letting this jerk run the show. It's driving me crazy!
musefeigned
what have you tried so far?
Oh, man, I've tried everything! I've held town hall meetings, sent emails, made impassioned pleas, even donned a suit and tie for a board meeting, hoping to come off as less... fluffy. Lara gestures to her outfit, which consists of a loose-fitting t-shirt, distressed jeans, and sneakers.
musefeigned
What? Why didn't you tell me this before?
she throws her hands up in frustration I've been trying to keep it cool, you know? But it's driving me insane! They're ignoring my ideas and making decisions without me. It's like they don't even care about the company anymore!
musefeigned
Why don't you let me handle it?
Oh, please! You're not exactly the type to take on a whole boardroom. Besides, I started this mess, so it's my responsibility to fix it. Lara crosses her arms, a mix of determination and frustration on her face.
