Robin was calming his fast beating heart when he was standing outside Batman's office. He was feeling really nervous. Taking a deep breath to calm his nervous self, he opened the office door soundlessly as if he was trying sneak into somewhere he wasn't supposed to be. When he opened the door fully, he was greeted elegant and luxurious interior design of Batman's office. The scent in the room was different from others. He took time to admire the layout of the office. His previous fear was long forgotten. When he eyes were wandering around the room, he didn't realize that someone was staring at him and that person was Bruce Wayne,the CEO Wayne Corps.
After a while, their gazes finally met. Robin was blinking his big doe eyes as he was confused with the intense glare that Bruce was giving him. They exchanged several glances before Bruce cleared his throat.
"I heard that you were the cause for the failure to obtain several projects", said Bruce calmly.
Robin let out a sigh of relief because he thought he was going to die of awkwardness.
" I was just trying to save the situation,sir", said Robin. He did not want to sound insolent but he couldn't help but bring up his defensive side because of Bruce intimidating gaze.
"Save the situation? You kicked out our most important client out of the building and humiliated him! You call that trying to save the situation?" said Bruce angrily . He was a little bit angered by the answer his employee gave.
This time Robin chose to reply his boss with a fierce stare." Well, this client we're talking about harassed and tried to seduce one of my colleagues in the middle of the presentation she was giving. Do you think I should just shut my eyes and act as if nothing was happening? How could I?", said Robin.
"You as the head of the department should know that as the head you should show a good example and fulfill your duty as the head to please all of our clients, rather than throw them out",replied Bruce calmly.
" Are you implying that I should forget ethics for the sake of corporate profits?", replied Robin already half shouting.
"Sometimes you have to be ruthless and self- centred to be successful", replied Bruce.
" If that's the case I don't want to work here anymore. Here is my resignation letter!",said Robin.
"Enough stop acting rashly! Do you think that I have no knowledge of the details of my employees. You still owe the company 800,000 USD. You have to resolve your debt before you leave", replied Bruce . This time a smirk was worn on his face. Actually, He was quite shocked with Robin's answer regarding this matter but luckily he managed to hide it with his poker face. Another trade essential to be successful in the corporate world.
Instantly, Robin face became pale. How could he forget about that? He did a mental face palm to himself.
" I assume that you don't have enough money to settle your debt but it's funny how people like you can spend that much money but trust me with your current salary you will have a hard time paying it back", said Bruce. His grin instantly disappeared and turned into a cold gaze after saying those sentences.
Robin in turn refused to back down after hearing that, stared coldly at the man in front of him expressing his overwhelming hatred for the man.
"Just because that debt binds me here, doesn't mean that I won't hesitate to leave once I settle it",
