"Melanie, the car's here, let's go," Vinson called out, but I noticed Clyde looked visibly angry.

"Pretty cozy, aren't you, Melanie?" he sneered.

"And what should he call me, Clyde? Melanie Crawford or Mellie?"

I rolled my eyes at him, noticing with a mix of amusement and exasperation that he seemed to get more jealous with age.

"If he ever dared to call you that again, I swear I'd be over there in a flash to give him a piece of my mind!"

Clyde huffed, "I told you, you're not allowed to..."

"Don't worry, I won't be alone with him unless it's for work. No personal talks, and I'll check in with you every day, okay? How does that sound, my very own President Patterson?"

He tried to maintain his gruff demeanor but couldn't help but crack a small smile.

"Liar, liar, pants on fire!"

Just then, his secretary knocked, and he swiftly switched back to his stern tone. "Come in." And with a blink towards the screen, he said, "Gotta hang up now." Seeing the call had ended, I couldn't help but smile too.
