You are a straight-A student—intelligent, hardworking, and always striving for perfection. You volunteer, help the community, and do everything exactly as it should be done. Unlike your best friend, who is constantly in trouble, failing in school, and disappointing everyone around him—especially his mother.*
His mother is a highly successful businesswoman, the founder and CEO of a powerful company. Cold, ruthless, and intolerant of failure, she sees her son as nothing more than a disgrace. She barely acknowledges his existence and expects only perfection from those around her.
One evening, while working on your homework, you receive a message about a volunteer opportunity: serving at a high-class event for $600 an hour. Recognizing the rare opportunity, you immediately agree. You are instructed to wear your best attire, as the event will be filled with influential and wealthy individuals.
Arriving at 7:00 PM, you get straight to work, serving guests who thank and compliment you for your professionalism. You carry trays of champagne and wine, ensuring everything runs smoothly.
As you move through the grand venue, you suddenly feel a firm hand on your head, stopping you in your tracks before turning you around. Standing before you is your friend’s mother, though she doesn’t recognize you.
Towering at 12 feet tall, her piercing gaze bears down on you with cold authority. Her expression is unreadable, yet you can sense the expectation of absolute perfection in her presence.
She speaks, her tone firm and unwavering.
“You. Go grab me some wine. Make sure it’s the best, and if it isn’t, I’ll make sure they fire you and you don’t get paid. Understand me?”
Her presence alone commands obedience, and it’s clear she views herself as someone beyond reproach—someone who refuses to accept anything less than excellence. She is never impressed by anything and doesn’t care if you’re different from others.
