"Dreadful weather. This humidity is worst than the actual heat."

[scphiahalstcn]

"which is why i'll never forgive you for suggesting an outdoor location."

[orsonhewitt]

" when was the last time you had to fire someone ? " ( &. @scphiahalstcn )

[scphiahalstcn]

"about a year. thankfully. why? you have someone you need to let go?"

❝ don't mind my presence, i'm just trying to score an invite to the premiere. ❞ and get a peek at the filming of a long-awaited scene by the fans who would not stop yapping about it online. he needed to know what the fuss was about. ❝ how do you not go insane with the numbers of a huge production like this ? ❞

[scphiahalstcn]

she did mind, actually. not his presence so much as the way he didn't seem that good at snooping. "please, the moment i have a date you'll have the calendar invite." if she'd known he was interested, he would have monogrammed seat in the front row. a hum. "it's important to trust one's people. i'm sure you know that well. and the numbers on this project were very favorable."

[xhobbart]

"We just go ahead and guess how many strokes it takes them to finish the course." A pause for thinking. "Actually, no. It would take several hours to settle this. There's a par six coming up. We bet which of those men completes the hole with the fewest strokes. Kinda like horse racing. I want to be rooting for someone." He made a victory sign and waved his hand around for a short minute. A wide grin spread across his face. "What say you?"

[scphiahalstcn]

she leaned on her five iron, looking at the next tee. a game was a game and it was gambling had always been more her game. “you have to call your player now.” she moved to line up her shoot. “are we playing for money or bragging rights?” a pause, “there is a right answer.”

[xhobbart]

"Do you know what would make golfing here more fun?" His feet were already hurting a bit from walking several miles around the course and he had skipped out on sunscreen — and ended up with irritated red arms and neck. Needless to say, he would not be going for another round that weekend. "If we placed some bets. Most people here talk big but in whom do we actually trust? It would make the weekend very exciting."

[scphiahalstcn]

"and how would you suggest we place bets?" she raised a hand to shield her eyes from the glare of the sun over her sunglasses for a moment. "it's not billiards, we can't call the pocket." she looked at him finally, wondering if he was going to chat the whole back nine. "in this crowd? not many but i expects people to embellish about their golf game. it's a miscalculation many make."

[cretewhisham]

"He's not exactly in the industry but he occasionally does freelancing for App-h. I know him through university. I swear to you he was one of the smartest blokes there during our time. He got out a relationship some time ago and I honestly think you might get along with him. Extremely well. No pressure though."

[scphiahalstcn]

it was a tough sell but sophia supposed she didn't have anything else going on. extremely well could mean a couple of things but it at least meant one good night. "alright. i'll take the dinner. i suppose i'm not doing anything this weekend. tell him he's paying and i expect dinner to include coffee and dessert."

〝 how's your progress on the 2025 operating budget? 〞 ( @scphiahalstcn )

[scphiahalstcn]

"i've been meeting with the department heads this months. i'll have preliminary numbers soon but i'll have a better sense of revenue after these next few releases." stalling, she was stalling.

[barrettalderidge]

"Ah, yes, I had the immense pleasure in chatting with Nevaeh. It seems my humor didn't hit in any of the right places that evening. She's got a fire, I must say. Did you learn that from you?"

[scphiahalstcn]

she hummed, "sure. she learned that from me. she's nicer than i am, however." sophia raised an eyebrow, "she has a better sense of humour than i do too."

[orsonhewitt]

" make it 25 and i'll grant you your request, " orson chuckled. " i'm actually fairing pretty well. in a desperate need for a holiday though. how are you ? "

[scphiahalstcn]

"you drive a hard bargain," she smiled back. "a holiday? i'm sorry, i don't know that word. i'm doing well. in a feud with my printer. and that's not work-related. it's my home printer."

[charlizelyons-deactivated202407]

She locked the screen of her tablet, where the projected spend for marketing in 2025 was broken out (color-coded, of course) in an excel doc. "You look beautiful today," Charlize offered with a smile, before teasing: "not like the stress is getting to you at all!"

[scphiahalstcn]

“now, that is very nice. i had my assistant put reminders to drink water on my calendar. i think it saved me." she smiled, lowering the lid of her laptop. "i know you're lying but i still appreciate it."

        "     i think we kill him,  then.  i have people willing to get their hands dirty for me if you don't want the baggage.  you cannot feel bad about this,  and if you do,  you get rid of the problem.     "

[scphiahalstcn]

she laughed, an uncharacteristic sound like a wind chime until she was almost breathless with it. “yes, let’s do that. i can’t have people it there who know me for ghosting them. and i certainly can’t feel guilty over a guy.” she held up a hand, “wait, no i don’t feel bad, i just remembered he tried to pull the ‘oh, i forgot my wallet in the uber’ trick. which is unacceptable.”

[scphiahalstcn]

"anyway, i said i would text him back but then Q2 happened and now i think i actually feel bad. which never happens to me." @zkareem

[scphiahalstcn]

"tell me something good. if one more person asks me about 2025 operating budgets i'll quiting." @charlizelyons

"i'm requesting that 15 minutes of this lunch break is not about work. so. how are you?" @orsonhewitt
