I would never sabotage you, Mya. He wiped away one of my stray tears with his fingertips. Of course, deep down I did want you to stay, but I had nothing but nice things to say about you. I even said theyd be foolish not to hire you, but But? I glared at him. But what? But if they thought the low-ass salaries they were offering were good enough for you, they needed to increase them exponentially or move along to someone else. I thought you deserved more. Is that all? No, he said, looking into my eyes. I also needed to personally interview each of the CEOs myself. Needed to make sure each one was a good fit for you, and that whoever you worked for next was already married. I opened my mouth to ask him if he was being serious, but he beat me to it. Yes, he said, smirking. Yes, I seriously did need to do that. What does the CEO being married have to do with anything, Michael? What if I have no interest in seeing you after I quit? You do, so were not even going to entertain that line of conversation. He rolled his eyes. If the CEO is already married, I wont have to worry about this happening at your next place of employment, and I can be somewhat less jealous. How selfish of you. I couldnt believe him, but for some reason I couldnt help the smile that was forming on my face.
