"I can't handle it!" Their boss, Gary, cried dramatically.

The two had been offered seats as they'd be staying a long time in Gary's work space, they had no choice but to sit and do nothing but listen to their boss who had started throwing a pity party for himself.

The duo felt on edge, as if any wrong move they'd get instantly fired so they remained quiet and tried their best not to express their distaste for the situation.

Gary Goodspeed, their boss who was a popular and successful fashion designer, had given up on his elegant act after sitting down for twenty minutes and not being able focus or come up with ideas.
Truth was, the two had expected the man to be acting, there simply wasn't anyone as perfect as the man was acting to be but they had never expected the man to be so childishly-

If only they knew Gary was holding back...

Avocato had long decided that this job would be boring but he had hoped that it wouldn't be annoying...sadly all his hopes crumbled as he watched Gary spin in his chair again with a groan.

The man couldn't sit still, he'd spin on his chair, tap the table, throw his arms up, walk around the room and then sit back down to do it all over again.
Gary complained about "no ideas" and being "so tired he can't work" so much that Avocato wasn't sure he could handle it any longer.

Turning to Quinn, Avocato shared the same expression as her- clear tired annoyance.

After half an hour, the two sighed when Gary had resolved to turning on some quiet music while beginning to sketch out cute little doodles rather than work. It was clear Gary had used up most his energy on his little tantrum and that he was quite embarrassed as he had apologized and never spoken again.

Part of Avocato wished that someone would break in and steal their boss right before them so they had at least something to do- but part of him also wanted for them to take the man so he wouldn't have to deal with this crap again.

After an another half an hour, Huevert had arrived to check on things despite having cameras in this room.

"Hello-"

"Hue! I made a tiny paper hat, would you like a tine paper hat? Here, have a tiny paper hat- wow I've said paper hat a lo-"

"Gary." The robot said somehow sternly, allowing the paper hat to sit on his little red bulb anyway "You haven't made any progress"

"Yeah...I haven't" the blond sighed

"May I ask why?" The robot shuffled closer

"I dunno just-" Gary took a deep breath before sinking in his chair "I designed something already-" he opened up his drawer and pulled out his sketchbook and opened it to a certain page before giving it to Huebert "but I designed it for plus sized women..."

Both Quinn and Avocato were glad something was finally happening so they curiously glanced at the sketchbook to try kill more of the boredom. Inside was a beautiful dress with notes and a cut out of fabric that they assumed was an example Gary wanted to use

"I don't see any problem with it" Hue handed the sketchbook back

"Clarance does..." Gary looked at the design with a frown "he says I shouldn't be designing so much for this body type as" Gary cleared his throat "they are ugly and fat" he copied Clarances voice, pressing on the R's just as he did and throwing the notebook on the desk.

"Clarance says I need more 'sexy' models" he continued "and I'm starting to doubt whenever I should really bot design these..." Gary turned on his chair and he began folding another paper hat, not wanting to show the others how upset he was over a simple conversation with his advisor- Clarance was a salesman, he knew what he was talking about so maybe Gary should really listen to him
