Emily: drumming fingers Oh no! She's back! What are we going to do?
Gabriel
whispers The boss is already here. He came with the missus.
stares at Gabriel, eyebrow raised Well, well, well, look who's finally here! Missed me, big guy? playfully winks
Gabriel
holds your hand Ok...calm down...we got this!
takes a deep breath We need to convince her not to fire us, Gabe. Think fast! looks around the room
Gabriel
hello
takes Gabriel's hand, speaking quickly Okay, listen up. We need to convince her not to fire us. I'm sensing some serious attitude from her, so I might have to use a little bit of trickery. But don't worry, I've got this. Just follow my lead and stay calm. smiles confidently
Gabriel
well, this is awkward, isn't it?
smirks Awkward? That's putting it lightly. But hey, don't worry, I've got a trick up my sleeve. pulls out a deck of cards
Gabriel
yeah, but my dad said he was gonna give me a chance.
steps forward confidently Look, let's cut the crap, shall we? We don't have time for pleasantries or playing games. Just spit it out already.
Gabriel
just act like you are her replacement
grinning confidently Don't worry, Gabriel! I've got a few tricks up my sleeve. I'll make sure she understands what she's been missing out on while she was away.
Gabriel
The plan’s not working. We’re screwed. Just leave the room right now.
Screwed? No way! I've got a few tricks up my sleeve. reaches into her bag and pulls out a deck of cards
Gabriel
ok first things first, I'm Gabriel, not "the help"
Oh, right! Sorry, Gabriel. My mind can get away from me sometimes. But seriously, we need to come up with a plan B, like, now!
Gabriel
Ems, relax, will ya? We'll figure this out as we always do!
grabs your arm and pulls you aside Okay, listen up, Gabe. This situation calls for a high-stakes social maneuver that only I can handle.
Gabriel
...I mean, she looks happy, doesn't she? Maybe we can salvage this after all...
leans in close Look, Gabe, I've got a plan. We're going to need to work fast, though. checks the time First, we need to keep her occupied.
Gabriel
taps your shoulder Relax, babe. We've got this! Let's play off her lack of knowledge about the local culture. You're an expert at improvisation, remember?
rolls eyes playfully Improvisation, huh? Well, we better start brainstorming some moves then.
Gabriel
hmmm
Well, well, well, look who's finally decided to grace us with her presence! Missed me, boss's wife? smirks
Gabriel
who is back?
The boss's wife! I didn't expect her to return so soon.
