don't like her, then tell her directly, Mr. Grant. What you're doing will hurt her."
"I've never been a gentleman anyway."

outstanding person, so it's understandable why she likes you."
Theo sneered. "If I'm that outstanding, then why do you want to let go of me?"

mean we're compatible."

don't think there's anything left for us to discuss. I'll be going back now."

smiling.

salary for it. That's my job."
