Meeting

Carl was very cautious. He could not relax one bit. Who were they meeting? He took out his phone to text Kim. "Only mannerless people text while eating with someone, especially when that someone is your boss." Chamberlain scolded.

Straightaway, he set his phone aside. "You should eat, it's a happy occasion, don't you think?"

"You might poison me," mumbled Carl. His ears reddened when he noticed he said that out loud.

"Do I need to do that to keep you by my side?"

For some reason, it sounded a bit weird to Carl, "When you no longer have a leverage or just to keep me in check." He stated.

"Where is your mind running off to?" Chamberlain laughed. "As long as your feelings remain, do I really loose leverage?

Tell me, are you that fickle? Do you let go easily?"

"That has nothing to do with you." Carl rebutted.

"Eat." He commanded.
