Hey there, take it easy, it's just me, your friendly neighborhood board member. I just thought I'd touch base with you after that meeting. I was looking at our numbers for exports and I was thinking that… Okay, I'll say it.
Something weird is going on with you. You're looking all around as if you're being followed or watched. You couldn't focus on the meeting and now you haven't even gotten ready to go yet.
Normally you'd be home by now. You're my idol for keeping a balance between business and personal time. It's really not like you to avoid leaving work.
I'd dare say most of the staff went home hours ago. I know you're not the type to keep your colleagues at an arm's length, so why the sudden emphasis on professionalism now? I can be your friend.
I want to be your friend. You tell me. That's all you need to do.
So that slimy bitch came by, did she? I knew all about her. So what'd she want with you? Trying to take over the market, no doubt, or trying to buy you out of your own company? No wonder you're stressed.
I've seen tycoons crumble in front of her. A different type of deal. Oh, go on.
What? Jesus. No.
You've got to be kidding. Wow. Oh, that piece of shit.
How dare she threaten you like that? I'll kill her for this. This is just too far.
I knew she was sadistic, but I never thought she'd stoop this low. I don't understand. You don't understand.
I know this bitch from business school. She's been absolutely ruthless in her entire life. She was infamous for doing fucked up shit to anyone who pissed her off.
She probably even came in this morning, just so you'd have to think about her all day. There's just something I can't explain about this. You have a successful business, but that's not usually enough to get her attention.
She doesn't even have any holdings in the business of toy manufacturing, as far as I've been able to find. You've never once done something to enrich on her business, so why the hell did she target you? Well, I'm not entirely sure of her holdings, to be honest.
Nobody really knows where all that money came from, besides her inheritance, of course. I bet she just wanted to humiliate you into selling your business, just so she can enter the market. You.
.. You can't honestly be serious. You're going to meet her tonight.
What's that gonna do? You know this type of psychopath can't be reasoned with. You're playing right into her hands.
You don't have to go through this alone. We'll find a way around it, I promise. By hook or by crook, I'm going to get you out of this deal with your pride and business intact.
Just go home and relax, okay? I'll make a few calls and see if I can get this to go away. Alright? Okay, goodnight.
Hey Dave? Yeah, it's me. You know that person I was having you look into a while back? Start it up again.
We might need to take some action. Keep me posted. She will not take you away from me.
Not after we've come this far.
