Aren’t rules in place to be broken?

You need to stop looking at me like that. I’m trying to do my job and take notes. Pay attention.

You pay me to work. Let me do my job.

Your assistant,

It’s hard to pay attention when one of my most trusted advisors keeps stealing glances your way. If he looks at you again, I’m going to make a scene and show him that if you’re going to be anyone’s, you’re going to be mine.

Careful leading him on, Violet. I’m a very jealous man.

Ezra will be picking you up tonight without me. I’ve got a meeting. I’ll still be home for dinner.

You should be waiting for me when I get home.

You looked too peaceful sleeping when I stopped by to wake you up. Ezra will pick you up whenever you’re ready for work. Grab yourself (and me) a coffee on your way in.

I wish we stayed up late last night for other reasons than work.

I’m attaching the documents you asked for. I’ve also left a few comments for changes that I think may work better.

If I didn’t know how talented of an artist you were, I’d beg you to stay at Sintech forever. I’ve accepted your comments and sent them to the marketing team.
