A woman named Maria gets a video call from the new President Vincent.

"Yes this is Maria Summer's how may I be of Assistance?"

"Yes this is Vincent, I hear vat you are good scientist yes, I--"

"Yes that's correct."

There's a deadly pause from Vincent, he looks at Maria with venom in his features. He calms down just enough to speak, but still speaks with anger in his tone.

"Ms. Summers, did I ask vor you to speak, I think not. You vwill speak vwhen I'm done speaking to you, not vwhen I'm still talking  YOU INSOLENT VWOMAN!"

Vincent stops his anger and waits for he is awaiting an answer from her.

Maria is frightened to speak at this point and waits for him to tell her to do otherwise.

"Now, you have my permission to speak." Maria  hesitates at first, then speaks to him.

" I-I underst-stand sir." Maria says stuttering over her words. Vincent chuckles at her weak attempt to keep her voice steady, but continues speaking.

  "I vwant you to vwork vor me.  I need you to provide an egg vor a beta project I'm creating, I vwill have you as my top scientist. You vwill be paid top dollar vor every time I need you, vwhich vwill be every day."

Maria's eyes lit up and she's overwhelmed with a sickening joy. All she can think is money. I get paid money for every time he needs me. All I have to do is provide an egg and help  him with his beta project.  I'll be rich, I'll be a millionaire.

  While Maria is fantasizing about being rich, she doesn't notice that Vincent is talking to her again.

"You vwill start vworking vor me tomorrow, am I clear?"

Maria mentally screams,  but calms down well enough to speak evenly.

" Yes sir,  I most definitely understand." She says. Vincent smiles triumphantly.
 
  "Good, have a good night Ms. Summers."
