I like the progression of their relationship, quite realistic. I can start to see them becoming a really cute couple.

On an unrelated note, Boards of Directors don't work under the CEO, they're (theoretically) representatives of the shareholders charged with overseeing the company's operations on their behalf. The CEO is hired and fired by them. You're describing something more like an executive advisory committee.

See, I tried to get that down right to make it work properly for this scene, but it got kinda confusing trying to keep things in the proper hierarchy like that, yet also keep Chrysalis in her role as the true head of the company. So I kinda changed it up from the standard idea to fit the scenario I wanted to present here. It was more important to me that I keep Chrysalis in her "I'm at the top" spot than trying to keep this as lined up with reality as best I could. I fear if I had, it would've felt odd especially with how I've designed her character here.

I'm glad you're enjoying the story though! Thank you for the comment!

Nuuuuuuu, that'll be the last chapter? D:

Business politics!

Owned.

Next chapter: Chrysalis must keep her wits about her when she comes face-to-face with the one and only Seto Kaiba in a battle for Equestria's gaming landscape.

Ha! Now that’d be a funny chapter to write!

...wonder what kind of deck Chrysalis would use to duel...

Wind Ups because they're the most irritating archetype in the universe and perfect for those sadists who want to crush you and troll you simultaneously.

Awwwwwwww it's almost over?!

Man. This is like one of my favorite Chrysalis fics ever. You've just done her character so well and it's the first I've seen in a setting like this so it's a fantastic breath of fresh air too. Moore's character has been great too and I loved their whole dynamic with each other. The relationship between them has been so wonderfully done and, yes, feels quite natural!

I look forward to the next chapter, even if it will be the last of the story.

Yes, I'm afraid so. I could only make this go for so long, before I feared the premise may start to lose appeal or drag on too long for folks to enjoy it. I've had a lot of fun writing this though, it was a really fun twist on being creative with Chrysalis beyond the usual "evil bug queen" role she's usually in. I'm glad you've enjoyed it so much! Be sure to watch for the final chapter next Wednesday!

This chapter reminds me that I'll never survive in the business world, let alone politics. Deceit and betrayal are commonplace in both.

Actually, I think she would benefit more from either Inzektors or Steelswarms.
