/home//writing//chloe/

the employer chloe deliberately shoves a very expensive ring into a cupcake for the employee ryan to eat

chloe: here eat this
ryan: mmm so good
chloe: wow calm down you might start to choke haha
ryan: the texture is very soft
chloe: how's it taste
ryan: great
chloe: are you sure
ryan: yes it's great
chloe: you just swallowed it
ryan: yes
chloe: and you liked it
ryan: yes i liked it
chloe: spit it out
ryan: why
chloe: do you not check what you eat
ryan: no you're my boss i already assume you vetted it
chloe: spit it out
ryan: i already swallowed
chloe: spit it out now
ryan: i couldn't even if i wanted to
chloe punches ryan in the gut
ryan: what are you doing
chloe: spit it out
ryan: why
chloe: just spit it out
ryan: it doesn't work like that
chloe: i'm not getting you anything ever again
ryan: stop punching me in the gut
chloe: i am worried for your safety and you don't seem to be the slightest bit concerned
ryan: why should i be i just ate a delicious cupcake
chloe: yes you should always check before you eat something
ryan: is this like a life lesson you're trying to pull where you poisoned the cupcake i just ate
chloe: no that'd be super evil
ryan: then why are you punching my gut
chloe: i can't tell you its personal
ryan: it's a cupcake i ate not you
chloe: spit the thing out
ryan: no i don't want to barf
chloe: do you want to become sick
ryan: no
chloe: then spit it out
ryan: what did you do to the cupcake
chloe: don't ask me again i already told you i can't say
ryan: what did you do to the cupcake
chloe: you're starting to irritate me
ryan: what did i do
chloe: you're annoying me with your questions while i'm trying to save your life stop trying to question me
ryan: i feel like the concerns i'm raising are pretty understandable
chloe: stop trying to think as your boss i'm asking you to spit it out
ryan: i liked the taste
chloe: this is life-threatening stop it
ryan: you're starting to make me uncomfortable
chloe: just now because i've been punching your gut throughout the majority of this exchange
ryan: no just now because you're ignoring me when i'm questioning you which is unlike you because normally you are weirdly attentive like more so than a boss should be
chloe: don't call me out on that it's an unspoken bond i have with you
ryan: no it's not a bond its just the result of your unprofessionalism seeping into your behavior
chloe: woah okay
ryan: what what now
chloe: listen ryan i think we have maintained a professional relationship other people only strive to maintain every day i ask you to listen to my concerns and you respond neutrally without overstepping your role as an employee
ryan: yes you are describing me doing my part which is something that cannot be said about you even in what you said you are the unprofessional one implied
chloe: right now i'm saving your life so unprofessionalism should be the least of your concerns
ryan: how are you saving my life by punching my gut what was in the cupcake
chloe: wow who's the unprofessional one now
ryan: bad punchline
