Thread: Blue Eyes White Lover (Fox)

Chaos. It flew into the room in a manner of moments as the scene unfolded. But it started with his new assistant. Granted, it took him a moment but he realized that Ryou was rallying for his men before those large brown eyes landed over on him. He wasn't amused. But he was curious. He hadn't exactly been letting Ryou slide on questioning him considered he'd told him to do as much previously. But this was a different format entirely. Still, he wanted to know what he had to say. While his little speech didn't surprise him, what did was how close the newby's thoughts were tohis own. He had just made a point of practically telling him as much. At the same time his words weren't exactly being turned against him. Okay. Maybe he was a little amused at the kid's gall if nothing else. But he wasn't given time to answer before some consequences drove that chaos home and had the one man who's position had been terminated lunging at the others' savior. That however wasnt what distracted him. As the small volcano in bis office blew its top the screen on his video phone flickered on. Such scenes were neither uncommon or meant to be paid attention to. And the security guard, despite his short comings, would be able to deal with that matter. He was sure that was why the woman on the other line spoke the moment his attention slid over. Mr. Kaiba your 9--er 10 o'clock is here. When the slightest cant hit his head the woman continued on nervously, stumbling over her words. He uh... H-he asked me to let you know that he isn't pleased that you pushed him back. That's not what I said! Say it right. You tell him he better-- Seto picked up the receiver and clapped it back down with a heavy chuckle. Mannings was now on the other side of the door if not further for how quickly he liked things to be taken care of. Alright. Looks like the timer just went off. With a swift movement the badges were expertly gathered in his hand. Another flick of his wrist as he raised his arm as far as bent elbow on the table allowed had them presented toward Ryou between middle and forfinger. You can keep the mutts for now, he added shortly. Dont expect to get away with something like that again. His attention turned on the three men who jumped despite their reprieve though he continued to address Ryou. And I don't want to hear about any regrets you might have over this decision. Loyalty is rare, and they've proven how much they have to you already. So whatever happens because of this is on you now. Although logically speaking this game had had plenty more effect than the immediately obvious. Even though the men had left him out previously and shown how backwards their sense of loyalty could be previously they now knew that despite their incredible talents and how very inexpendable they had seen themselves previously because of that, they'd been sorely mistaken in their worth in the president's eyes. They were a great asset yes, but Seto's willingness to drop them as easily as they'd done to Ryou should prove to straighten them out some. The CEO had auickly, and quite effectively, shown them that despite how much his company may gain from having their talents focused on his own interests they certainly weren't important enough not to be willing to lose them over lack of loyalty. There was also the fact that like Harrison these men held a contract that prevented them from working for competitors. If the threat of their own end hadn't been enough, the sight of Harrison's should have helped boost their 'team spirit', as it were. And then he addressed them. Gentlemen. You can thank your painfully forgiving new boss later. For now, gather your badges. And get the Hell out of my office. Last edited Oct 1, 2018
