Zack clicked his tongue. “You just had to make that pun, don’t you? If the boss heard it, he’s going to feel sad.”

“How he feels is none of my business,” she replied indifferently.

Sophia looked back at Zack. “So how do you suppose someone’s not up to something when they flirt?” Zack frowned, but Sophia cut him off before he could start, “By being a hypocrite like your boss?”
