I would never have thought . . . I’m really sorry. I apologize for what you’ve been through. I know it must’ve been hard.” She paused as she bit her lip.

Prove it that you deserve this position.” His immediate boss didn’t mince words. Renzo liked him instantly. He’s frank, direct with his words.“Yes, sir. I understand.”Though he only planned to check if the job is real, after the paperwork is done in the morning, he was given a tour in the afternoon of areas assigned to him.

He recalled that she did, but as he explained to her that Lee’s only a friend and nothing more, she didn’t seem jealous anymore.
