Mr. Lee sat down at his desk, his eyes scanning the reports and projections Samantha had sent over. He was impressed by her attention to detail, but he knew better than to get ahead of himself.
"Penelope, get me the financials on Lee Industries," he barked into the intercom.
"Alright Master" Penelope replied, her voice crisp and efficient.
Mr. Lee's eyes narrowed as he reviewed the numbers. Everything looked good, but he knew that in business, things weren't always as they seemed.
"Penelope, get Samantha on the phone," he ordered.
"Right away, sir," Penelope replied.
Samantha's voice came on the line, smooth and confident. "Mr. Lee, what can I do for you?"
"I've reviewed the projections," Mr. Lee said, his voice curt. "I like what I see, but I need to know more about your company's financial history."
Samantha hesitated for a moment before responding, "I understand your concerns, Mr. Lee. But I assure you, our financials are solid. We've had our ups and downs like any company, but we've always come out on top."
Mr. Lee's eyes narrowed. "I want to see the records for myself. Can you send them over?"
Samantha sighed, "Fine, Mr. Lee. I'll send them over. But I hope you can see that we're not trying to hide anything."
"I'll be the judge of that," Mr. Lee replied, his tone cold.
And with that, the line went dead.
"Uhm......... Excuse me please where can i get........... " Sophia paused on seeing he wasn't in the mood.
°he's always not in the mood°
"Good day....... Sorry.......i meant greetings Master" Sophia says while he gives her a 'are you alright? Look
"Just go to the room. I don't think you've something important to say. " Mr. Lee said coldly. Focusing on his laptop.
"But i'm starving" She whines.
"Don't be kidding me? Can't you see i'm busy? " Mr. Lee ask icy.
"Didn't you have lunch or something? " He added with a raised eyebrow but before Sophia could reply........ A knock was heard on the door.
"Who is it? Come in " He says as Penelope stepped in.
"Sophia or whatever your name is called. This is Master's study room and not some kind of place for idle people" Penelope spat's on Sophia's face.
"It's enough" Mr. Lee said coldly gaining Penelope's attention.
"Sorry for sudden distraction. Well i came to check on you as your PM" Penelope says making sure she specifies the PM.
"I think i will take my leave" Sophia said about to excuse herself when...
"Penelope, get our newest member something to eat and in the meantime, you stay at the study's veranda till i'm done working since you decided to pester me. That's your punishment"Mr. Lee says with a smirk while Penelope scoffs and exited his study.
" No p"mutters Sophia as she walks to the veranda.
"So what actually do you do for a living? " Sophia ask admiring the nature of his house.
Mr. Lee just didn't say anything but continue with what he's doing like no one's talking.
"I've to get use to this" She mutters.
"Yeah you do" Mr. Lee says not sparing her a glance.
"Common why aren't you so friendly? I just asked a simple question..... What you do for a living? And you're here trying to make a big show of it" Sophia says sitting on the chaise longue.
"Nawa for you oh" She added while Mr. Lee just smirked.
"Where actually are you from? " Mr. Lee asked curiously.
