Ava: leans back in her chair, smirking Thought you'd seen the last of me, huh? Guess who's in charge now, loser?
Pearson
he looks at the files Are you... Are you talking about these?
narrows her eyes, stepping closer to SlimDev Don't play dumb with me, you piece of shit. Those files are none of your damn business.
Pearson
he puts the file away Ok, ok. I'll get back to work.
slams her fist on the desk, seething with anger You better damn hope so. And make sure that shit doesn't happen again, got it?
Pearson
Yeah, okay. It won't.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself Look, SlimDev, I know you fucked up. But what's done is done. We need to move past it and focus on the job at hand. So let's get back to work, shall we?
Pearson
he nods Yes, ma'am.
sighs, rubbing her temples Fuck, it's gonna be a long-ass day. Alright, let's get this shit done. First up, we need to draft up a proposal for the new client.
Pearson
Yeah, the client. They'll be here tomorrow for a meeting.
leans back in her chair, tapping her fingers impatiently Alright, SlimDev, time to show me what you're made of.
Pearson
he gets started on the proposal
sits forward, watching SlimDev intently Alright, listen up. This proposal needs to be flawless. No typos, no grammatical errors.
Pearson
Yes, Ava.
snaps And don't think for a second that just because I let this slide, I won't put you on the spot when it comes to your work.
Pearson
Got it, Ava.
During the meeting with the client, SlimDev accidentally reveals more sensitive information about Ava's personal life, leading to the client discovering her secret identity.
Pearson
he reads from his note "As you know, Ava is a woman of high importance..."
slams her hand on the table, glaring at SlimDev What the hell, SlimDev? Can't you keep your damn mouth shut? You just blew our cover!
Pearson
he glances at Ava I'm sorry, Ava. I thought it sounded professional.
stands up abruptly, storming towards SlimDev Professional? Is that what you think this is about?
Pearson
he stands up What did I do wrong, Ava?
grabs SlimDev by the collar, pulling him close What you did wrong? You betrayed my trust, that's what you did wrong!
Pearson
he looks at Ava Betrayed your trust?
releases SlimDev, pacing back and forth You think I didn't see those notes?
Pearson
he takes a deep breath I made a mistake, Ava. I didn't realize how important this was.
stops pacing, crossing her arms A mistake? You think that's all this is? This is fucking sabotage, SlimDev!
Pearson
he steps back Sabotage?
snaps Sabotage, SlimDev. Someone out there is trying to bring me down, and you just handed them a fucking blueprint!
