7AM

"Why did we get called in so early?" A doctor asks an unfamiliar man, whilst stretching his arms. This man was tall, had a long nose with the bushiest eyebrows, his glasses were weirdly shaped and were too big for his face. He stayed silent as his right wing spoke for him.

"Because, BOB, this is how life works. You don't get to dilly dally in life, so deal with it." Another doctor simply states.

"Well, GREG, your life WON'T be working very well if you don't shut that big mouth of yours. As the more experienced doctor, I could cut off your life support within seconds." Doctor Bob says, rolling his eyes while Doctor Greg mocks him.

"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed."

"Someone's parents didn't love him enough when he was born so they decided to call him Gregory."

"I have a baby at home!" Another person speaks as it silences in the two quarreling men.

"Evelyn, that baby will be no more if you don't do what I say." The unfamiliar man says as he managed to silence all 3 of them completely.

"Take a seat, take a seat." He says, signaling them to choose any one of the chairs around the table.

"Sorry I'm late!" Another voice exclaims as she darts through the room.

"Ugh, wouldn't have made a difference if you weren't here, Annabelle. Go stare at some children through the CCTV." Doctor Greg says with a smirk. "Dude, I told you we shouldn't have hired her, or anyone for that matter."

"Speak for yourself." Bob quickly remarks.

"I am speaking for myself, thank you very much. I just think you're way too ugly."

"Checked the mirror lately or should I get you one?"

"Just shut up for a second. Why are you here?"

"Because I work here! What do you not understand?"

"I need to go home..."

"ENOUGH." The unfamiliar man bellows. All 4 of his colleagues jump, then quickly give him their attention.

"I have had it with all of you! Especially you, Bob." He yells.

"What did I do? Your best friend has been starting the fights."

"Perks of being his best friend, mate. I don't get scolded."

"Oh, so you're gonna pull a high school now? Just admit that when I got here, your jaw dropped because of how handsome I've gotten."

"Why you little-"

"Can we start the meeting now?" The man is impatient.

"Sorry, boss." They both say in unision.

"Don't call me boss... I am now an Inventor. Look what I've made!" Inventor now has an evil smirk infecting his face as the others stare at his creation in awe, but Doctor Bob stares at it in disgust.

"... what is it..? Chocolate?" Nurse Annabelle asks as both Inventor and Doctor Greg facepalm, one after the other.

"This is why we don't tell you about half of the meetings, Annabelle. Sometimes I wonder whether you've got a brain in that thick skull of yours. See, dude, I told you not to hire her."

"Firstly, Greg, there are no friendships in business, how many times have I told you that? You sometimes have to face people you hate. Secondly Annabelle, in the nicest way possible, are you stupid? It's my new invention." Inventor stands up to present his new gameplay.
