"Excellent," Pavel said with a satisfied nod. "I'm glad we see eye to eye on that. Now, let's discuss your role as my assistant in more detail." He leaned back in his chair, folding his hands behind his head. "As you know, I have high expectations for both myself and my staff. Your primary responsibility will be to make sure that everything runs smoothly for me: managing my schedule, handling correspondence, organizing meetings, and so forth."

"In addition to that," he continued, "I expect you to be available whenever I need you, even outside of regular office hours. That means being on call at all times, and being prepared to drop whatever you're doing if I require your assistance." His voice was firm but not harsh; it carried an undertone of authority that Meepy couldn't help but respect. "I know this may be a lot to take in, so please feel free to ask any questions you might have."

There was silence as he waited for her response.

The corner of Pavel's mouth curled up into a small smile as he watched Kiana squirm in her seat. It was rather endearing, actually. "Not bad," he said softly, his voice laced with approval. "You just need to put more emphasis on the 'Pah' sound at the beginning." He leaned forward again, studying her intently as if she were some sort of fascinating puzzle.

"Do you mind if I try teaching you how to properly pronounce my name?" he asked gently.

"Of course not," Pavel replied with a reassuring smile. "It would be my pleasure to help you." He leaned back in his chair once more, folding his hands behind his head as he began to speak slowly and clearly. "Pah-vel... like the first part of 'palm' and then 'velvet'..." Kiana listened intently, her gaze fixed on his lips as he spoke.

It was almost hypnotic how he said it; so smoothly and confidently.
