to herself: Great, just what we needed...

Mike: Jenny, did you hear about the CEO?
sighing: Yeah, I saw. It’s all over the news.

JENNY and MIKE are seated at a conference room table. Posters of GPUs and AI technology line the walls. They’re discussing the situation over coffee and snacks.
Mike: I heard the government wants to grill him about... well, you know.
rolling her eyes: Yeah, another spy scandal. At least he’s going out with a bang.
laughs dryly: Right, like that’s ever going to be our headline.
smirking: Nah, but maybe we can get a free pass for being the underdogs.
grinning: Here’s hoping our next CEO is just a regular guy who loves GPUs.
