She sat down, She was not familiar with his name and she was too tired to start asking so she just keep mute as the man continued what he was saying. “I’ll get straight to it.

he points between us, "doesn't mean you can't maintain a professional relationship with me. I wouldn't want familiarity to breed contempt." I nod, and he resumes typing on his laptop. "Sir, what is 'us'?" I ask innocently. I know exactly what he's talking about, but I also need to know that I'm not the only one having stupid butterflies in my stomach. He falters and glances up at me. "We're... friendly. And I'm hardly friends with my employees," he says and quickly returns to his laptop. "Thank you, sir. And I'm sorry, sir."

She asked on the other line, "I hope you can give me time to decide, Sir." "I will, I will give you time to think." I said, "One more thing, please don't call me sir. We already discussed that you don't need to use that word when it's just the two of us…” "No, sir."

Then his tone changed and he leaned back, studying me not like a candidate anymore, but like a possibility. “You’re articulate. Composed and presentable,” he said slowly. “Roles here… demand loyalty.” “That’s fine,” I replied. He steepled his fingers. “We value discretion. Especially when opportunities arise outside……. standard policy.” Something inside me stiffened. “What kind of opportunities?” I asked carefully.
