“Calm down.” If he is looking for an apology, he doesn’t stick around long enough to get one. Not that I was offering one. Parker is in to win it, and by his approach, is going to be aggressive about it. I can’t blame him for it. However, I’m not going to play nice. Not now.

After the meeting, Lucas returned to his office alone to study the PPT Desmond had made. He found that only the first page was painfully awkward, while the rest of the text was much better. Once Lucas got serious, he quickly lost himself in it and kept reading without stopping. Before he knew it, he had read quite a lot. And surprisingly, he actually learned a thing or two.

Remember to compliment every one of them on something, but never at the same time. Remember to put in word of your achievement whenever the opportunity presents itself, you have made some achievements in the past, haven't you, Ma'a-- Ma'am! Ma'am, can you hear m--"

I wasn’t going to let her transfer her anger onto me. “Lauren,” I started, my voice calm and polite even though my hands were trembling a little, “I don’t want any trouble. This isn’t about me so don't transfer your aggressions on me. go back to the person that changed your mood, don't come and disturb my peace please.”I ranted at her not holding my words back.
