The first thing Julia would see upon entering her personal office was a [url=https://x.com/HyeonHyunHyoon/status/1759291695076655216]dark-haired, seemingly emotionless[/url] woman who was just handing over a document to Xiang Min. The blonde-haired woman meanwhile, sitting in a comfortable leather chair reviewed it. [color=FFCE00]"Yes, Eno. I know the situation, just recruit whatever you need from the open pool, get this job done, and... oh. On second thought, hold on for a moment, can you just stand there while I talk to her? Thanks."[/color] She said, with the black-haired woman only nodding in response. One could notice that she might be suffering from some program stasis, but it is unknown if it's just mild program stasis or just her natural personality. Her aura certainly exudes a certain coldness to anyone who looks at her.

She turned her attention back towards Julia, a knowing smile coming from Xiang Min. [color=FFCE00]"Hey, Julia! It's nice to see you again! Welcome to the office! I know that the elevator ride downstairs is a bit... unusual, but honestly, this is the cheapest piece of land in the Spire where I can have free reign to design our new headquarters, I hope you don't find it [I]too[/i] intimidating."[/color] Continuing on. Xiang Min stood upwards. The woman beside her, dressed in full tactical gear, simply stared at either her boss or at Julia, seemingly making sure that nobody made any move to threaten one another. [color=FFCE00]"I was just... wondering Julia. About my offer. I offered you a small position in my company on Saturday after a fun day hanging out with each other, just some employee, pretty much damn near full flexibility in what jobs you want to take as long as you can do it, [i]and[/i] you can keep your contacts in E-Street active. As long as you don't go against SDS, I'm more than willing to take you in"[/color]

[color=FFCE00]"Think about it. This is an opportunity, Julia, I did not lie when I said I want to make the Megacity a better place. I can place you in protecting some really vulnerable individuals who only mean well. Not like the other... less than scrupulous individuals that most of my other employees protect. You can go on various adventures too! Along with me as well! You can be my bodyguard, you can hang out with me, and the next day you can take a job where some honest soul needs some assistance getting their charity van out of a Demonio ambush. I'll make sure you stay clear if E-Street or Black Maria is involved. But otherwise, yeah, damn near full flexibility."[/color]

She then walked over to a cabinet, grabbed a piece of canned grape juice, and then drank it. [color=FFCE00]"Sorry. My throat's a bit parched after talking with a ton of people today. Do you want some?"[/color]

She then waited for Julia to reply. Not expecting anything for a moment. The truth of the matter is she saw someone who needed a fresh start in life, not unlike the woman wearing the tactical vest standing beside her table right now. She is E-Street, she is perfectly capable of winning a gunfight, and she seems to be someone who wants to remake herself to be better, Xiang Min thinks that this offer she's making is very, [i]very[/i] generous. Especially compared to what some other security companies are doing right now. Ultimately though, she knows that this is Julia's choice, and she doesn't want to force her hand if she still needs some time to think.

[color=840A0A]"Selamat Siang!"[/color] Mingfan responded to the drone. One of the few traditions her family still maintains is that their ancestor's language should be taught to all future successors of the Purnama family, alongside a choice suite of other languages. Mingfan also decided to take some ancient German as a hobby, and instantly recognized the drone saying hello to her. [color=840A0A]"Didn't know your drone could speak ancient German Alese."[/color] She said. Walking towards the garage. [color=840A0A]"Is your drone broken or something? I'm not some crazy programmer that can hack Geonet or anything, but I can certainly reconfigure the setup of the drone to modern English if you want."[/color]

Looking at the garage. Mingfan proceeded to wave her hand at Alese's father, his face also a familiar figure to the Co-CEO, and was busy looking at the various cars when Alese made her comment. [color=840A0A]"I know it's rainy, but I've been thinking about this setup for months. Alese, and I think you might appreciate the challenge."[/color] She said before pulling out her phone from her skirt pocket and showing a [url=https://www.youtube.com/embed/F9DYqoWl_JE?start=100&end=115]short video[/url]. [color=840A0A]"I found this while browsing the archives of ancient literature, It's a scene from some Superhero movie lost to time. Can you see the bike the dark superhero's riding have their wheels turn like that? Yeah. I want those spinning wheel things on [url=https://i.pinimg.com/originals/97/9f/0d/979f0ddcfbf1403b8229f9409a35b7ad.jpg]my bike[/url]."[/color]

[color=840A0A]"You will have an unlimited budget for this Alese, and I trust that you won't rip me off for this job. Just give me the equipment quote for anything you need, and I'll approve it. Otherwise..."[/color] Mingfan paused. A slight grin formed on her face. [color=840A0A]"What do you think? I think this might be useful if I need to make a sudden exit or if I'm stuck in a chase or something. Goodness knows how many occasions I've been into that needed that."[/color]
