《Round Two》Chapter 22 - The Industry

Advertisement

Leo called them, he did the orientation, he bought the dumb appraisal ability, and he now knew how to use a gun. He did what was asked of him begrudgingly, but now, with no one to nag him, he was going to do what he wanted. And he only wanted to do one thing, he only wanted to be nagged by one person, and if anyone had anything to say, well… They can go fuck themselves. Leo decides firmly.

Under delusions of peace and love, Leo went back to Nouveau-Ville, and obediently went back to his 9-5 job, and to his weird and freaky girlfriend. But Leo didn’t care what the world thought; he was happy and to disturb that would be blasphemy.

...

“Yep, if you just right-click and open the task manager… Yup, and just end the task… How does it look? Working? Awesome. Have a good day.” Leo says, satisfied, before stretching his limbs. Think it’s time for a coffee break. He thinks with a smile.

Leo gets up and picks up his cup before walking off to the break room.

There didn’t seem to be anywhere in there, so unhindered, Leo poured himself a cup of coffee before taking a sip. Leo exhales a breath of relief. Another day in paradise. He thinks with a smile.

Suddenly, someone walks into the room. It was a handsome middle-aged man, the chief financial officer. He gives Leo a courtesy nod and smile before pouring himself a cup of coffee.

Leo smiles back and continues to focus on drinking his coffee. Damn, what does it take to become a CFO? I can only assume it's nepotism. Leo thinks, amused. That’s just the way things are in this world; if you’re more successful than me, it’s automatically unjust! He thinks. He felt quite funny at the moment, and on a whim, Leo decides it would be a good time to test his appraisal ability.

Some information pops up in front of Leo’s eyes. Hmm… A lot of background stuff. Married, kids, yada yada. Oh? He worked his way to CFO from the bottom? Good stuff, bro. Wait, what's this? Frequently has sexual fantasies involving Lizzy Sanders, the secretary? Holy fucking shit man! Should I even be allowed to see information like this!? Leo exclaims with wide eyes.

The man takes a sip of coffee and looks to Leo. “Is something wrong?” He asks, unsure why Leo looked so uncomfortable.

“Ah, huh, no, nothing. Nothing’s wrong.” Leo says before looking away.

Suddenly, someone else walks into the break room.

Leo couldn’t help but let out an exasperated sigh. It was Lizzy.

Lizzy smiles as she walks in. “Hello. Hello.” She says, greeting the other two men in the room.

Leo lets out a bitter smile. “Hi.” He says. Now that she’s here… I kinda have to know… He thinks with a sideways glance. After a hint of hesitation, Leo let go and used the appraisal ability again.

Hmm… Single… Finishing college this year… Lives at home with the family… Responsible, good-natured, outspoken… What a nice girl… Wait, what’s this? Has a submission kink? Attracted to power? Thinks the CFO is cute? Holy fucking shit. I really should not be reading this information. Leo thinks, once again wide-eyed.

Lizzy takes a sip of her coffee and raises an eyebrow. “Is something wrong? You’re sweating.” She says, somewhat concerned.

“Hah hah, no I’m fine. Everything’s fine. I’m just going to get back to work.” Leo says awkwardly before making an abrupt exit.

“That guy’s a little weird.” The middle-aged man comments casually.

“I think it’s the industry.” Lizzy comments before taking another sip of coffee.
