Since I was in a great mood, I casually said to Natalie, "Congratulations, Ms. Crenshaw."But all of a sudden, she slammed on the brakes, and I lurched forward. Thankfully, I managed to catch myself with my hands.Before I could ask what happened, she turned around and glared at me, looking absolutely livid.Erik's gaze flicked between us for a second before he chimed in."Robert, why are you being so formal?
