"Are you settling okay?" Jayden asks. He looks tired with dark shadows under his eyes.

"Honestly, if this is all you wanted to say to me, I'm leaving." I just can't do small talk with him while things are the way they are..

"No." He looks gloomy behind his desk. "That's not all.

He stands up and walks towards me. "Go out with me tonight."

"What?!"

"You heard. Go out with me."

I regained my composure. "Why?"

""Why not?"

"Because Phillip and I are seeing each other right now

"But are you? Are you really?"

I sigh. "Jayden, I'm here to work as a consultant. I'm not here to have my personal life and my integrity questioned wherever I go. It's not fair."

"You're right. Look, I've been talking to Lance lately. I do need your expertise, and Phillip's. Things have already started to turn around. We've also talked over the past a little. I'm happy to let bygones be bygones." "Really? You mean a clean slate. No more hassles over the past. Just us getting on with our separate lives, and doing business together." I'm super doubtful this can happen.

"Clean slate. Yes. Like you and I have never met before."

"What about Ashlyn? Are you two back together?"
