Scarlette shows up in a summery yellow tank top that matches her sunny disposition. She is soft spoken and respectful as she answers Mike's every questions. When he asks if she can make people happy, she gives him a simple "I'll do my best." Even the small details come out clean: how she moisturizes with "an oil and a lotion… double the moisture," how she dressed this way "to impress you guys," and that she's wearing a "bralette and a thong." When he nudges her toward speaking on camera—"Hi, this is me. This is what I wear"—she tries it, laughs at herself, then settles back in with a calm "Okay." The finance pitch folds right into her flow. She admits she hasn't done a cold read before—"This will be my first"—but she's ready, telling him she thinks on the fly at work. He hands her the printed script, walks her through the idea of an AI-driven trading firm looking for someone who can "sound authentic in the moment," and she listens closely. Then she delivers it: "AMD reports earnings Tuesday, November 4th, after the bell… we're advising our clients to hold long." Each line comes out smoother than the last—beating on the top and bottom, margins in line, a forecast of twelve-dollar EPS in 2028, a strong MI450 ramp in 2H26. When she finishes, she looks up with a small, breathy laugh—"I did my best"—and he tells her she's a natural. She repeats "Oh, wow" as he explains MI450 again, nodding along, letting him hear that "Mm-hmm" she gives whenever she's taking something in. When he introduces the company name—Nexus Volatility Group—she tries it, says "NVG?," and he calls it perfect. Jonte arrives and she greets him with the same warmth and thanking him when he tells her she looks great, easing right into his orbit without losing any of that calm responsiveness. She stays focused on both men, checking her movements—"Like this?" "Mm-hmm"—and giving those small reactions that seem to steady the moment around her. Her voice softens into little breaths and quiet laughs as she follows each cue, and by the time Mike shows her where to go next, she answers with a gentle "Okay… sure," gathering herself with that same open, honest tone she carried through every line she read. He tries to convince her to return and then his voice trails after her when she steps out: "Wow, she's incredible."
