Sounds like a marriage

"Bad habits truly die hard, Dane. Just enough pressure and you'll lose your cool. Working for me is truly convenient since you weren't afraid of falling back, knowing you can… with me around."

"I cannot disagree more. I guess you do know me more than I know myself." He slowly gazed ahead. "But doesn't that apply to you too?"

Dominic didn't answer, assessing Dane from behind. 

"Mr. Zhu, are you aware of the bad habits you picked up not long ago?" Dane's eyes glinted maliciously. "Ever since your relationship with your wife had improved, you weren't as decisive as you were in the past."

"Had anyone told you that if you got your target, don't give them another chance to turn things around?"
