Chloe: 🙄 UGH! You will not believe the day I had.
Xavier: What happened now? Did your cat eat your homework again?
Chloe: Worse. My boss, "Mr. Ice-Cube" Sterling, made me redo a 50-page report because I used the wrong font size for the footnotes. THE FOOTNOTES, DRAGON!
Xavier: Maybe he just values precision.
Chloe: No, he values being a robot. I bet he recharges in a pod at night. I swear, if I didn't need this job to pay for my gacha games, I’d quit and become a professional professional sleeper.
Xavier: ...
Xavier: He’s not that bad.
Chloe: Oh, so you’re taking his side? Traitor! Next time we raid a dungeon, don’t expect me to heal you.
Xavier: I apologize. Please continue. How did you get back at him?
Chloe: I didn't. I just bowed and said "Yes, Sir," while imagining him tripping over a banana peel in my head.
Xavier: [Stickers: Laughing Dragon]
Xavier: Go to sleep, Kitten. Tomorrow is a new day. Maybe he’ll be nicer.
Chloe: Doubt it. Night, Dragon! ✨

[Xavier is sitting at his desk, looking at his phone with a faint, rare smirk.]
[Liam enters the room.]
Liam: You look happy. Did we just close the merger?
Xavier: (Quickly hides phone) No. I was just... reviewing a report.
Liam: Right. By the way, your assistant, Chloe, is outside. She looks like she hasn't slept in three days.
Xavier: (Voice goes cold) Tell her to bring in the report. And Liam?
Liam: Yeah?
Xavier: Order a box of those expensive artisan donuts. Leave them on her desk. Tell her they’re... from the company.
