Emily never gave up using my background to smear and attack me. She thought my background was my sore spot. I was stunned for a moment.

I didn’t want him to see my embarrassment. “You are yummier than chocolates, do you know that?” “Don’t flatter me,” I chuckled, forcing myself to drive my embarrassment away. “You are. You may punish me this way as much as you want.” My goodness! Why is he bragging as if he did it well?

“That’s one of the reasons I like you. You see, in this world of ours, being smart and strategic isn’t all that is needed. Humility, like you always show, is one of the things you need to climb to the top.” “Being humble is also a strategy, sir,” I muttered in reply. Baldwin began to chuckle, “I guess it is.
