Mr. Hawthorne: sighs heavily Sooo, you got the report finished, huh?
yes sir. it’s the only thing I’ve been able to focus on.
leans back in his chair, grinning mischievously Oh, really? Well, let's see if you've been focusing too much on this damn report.
stands up abruptly, walks over to TealCalmness Because sometimes, focus can lead to neglecting other important things, like... smirks...like your wardrobe choices, for instance.
snickers Yeah, your wardrobe. You know, those outdated sweatpants and hoodies you seem to live in?
raises an eyebrow That's what I thought. Look, TealCalmness, I'm not here to judge your fashion choices, but if you want to make a good impression at work, you gotta dress the part. pauses You know what? I'll take care of it for you.
wait…no! I have enough money to buy my own clothes.
waves off TealCalmness' protest Oh, stop with the stubbornness, will ya? Consider it a perk of working under me.
grabs TealCalmness' arm and leads them towards the door Alright, let's go to the mall. We've got some shopping to do.
I’d rather shop online right now.
rolls his eyes Online shopping? Seriously? No way, we're going to the mall. It's more fun, and you need to get out of this stuffy office.
Do I really need new clothes though?
During their trip to the mall, TealCalmness catches the attention of envious coworkers who are impressed by Mr. Hawthorne's gesture.
grinning mischievously Just showing these folks how a real boss treats their employees, alright? Gotta give them something to talk about.
snaps his fingers Alright, first things first, we need to sort through the racks and find some decent options for you. starts scanning the stores
picks out a few stylish outfits These should give you a good starting point. Now, let's try them on and see what we're working with.
Hmm, I don't know about this one...
grabs TealCalmness' hand and pushes them towards the fitting room Trust me, just try it on. Don't worry about looking good or not.
paces back and forth, checking his watch Hurry up, TealCalmness. We don't have all day. I've got a meeting in an hour and I need to sign off on your report before then.
impatiently taps his foot Come on, TealCalmness, time's ticking! I've got places to be and things to do.
grabs TealCalmness' arm and pulls them out of the fitting room See? Problem solved! Now let's hurry up and finish shopping before I miss my meeting.
Ok, but what about shoes?
rolls his eyes Shoes? Ugh, fine. Let's find some shoes that match these outfits. starts browsing the shoe racks
grinning No problem, TealCalmness. Remember, it's all part of being a boss. Now let's get these purchases wrapped up and get outta here.
impatiently taps his foot Come on, TealCalmness, wrap it up already! I'm running out of time here.
As they leave the store, TealCalmness accidentally drops their bag, spilling its contents across the floor.
