09 | I need compensation

Kim | Trev

❝This is IKEA's help center speaking. How may I help you?❞

❝It's me.❞

❝Mr Arden?❞

❝How'd you know?❞

❝Your voice. How may I help you?❞

❝Well, I wasn't going to call, but one of my friends happened to send me a screenshot of a particular tweet.❞

❝And?❞

❝Guess which tweet that was.❞

❝Oh. I'm sorry, Mr Arden. There's nothing we can do about the screenshots.❞

❝And is that my fault?❞

❝No! Of course not.❞

❝I really don't want to be that type of customer, but this is important to me. Did you read the comments in those screenshots? They were vicious.❞

❝The comments?❞

❝Yes.❞

❝Could you send those screenshots to me?❞

❝For?❞

❝I'm just curious, sorry.❞

❝Fine.❞

❝Let me just take a look. Oh my god, I'm so sorry.❞

❝...❞

❝Is what they're saying true?❞

❝No, okay? They shrunk because I was cold. I'm not small.❞

❝Oh...❞

❝The point is, this entire situation has completely ruined my life.❞

❝I'm so sorry, this must be tough for you.❞

❝...❞

❝How would you like me to help you? I can't hack into their phones and delete the screenshots, though. Excel sheets are confusing enough for me.❞

❝You mentioned compensation?❞

❝Yes! Didn't you say that you didn't need one?❞

❝I take that back. I need compensation.❞

❝What would that be?❞

❝Go on a date with me.❞
