One more step

Avery walked to the closest restaurant to the company to get what they also ate with her CEO, Calhoun.

The staff ushered them in and told them to sit comfortably. The menu was given to Calhoun to pick the kind of food and drinks he wanted.

He picked a coffee with a hamburger, then he turned to face Avery. "What would you like to take Avery? He asked and Avery picked the same thing Calhoun picked.

Calhoun smiled warmly at her and told the waitress to bring that to their table.

"Avery," she heard Calhoun call her and Avery looked at the CEO in front of her. This is the third time the CEO will be calling her name today with no honorific. 

It was as if he knew her a long time ago or maybe us just too carefree. 

"Yes, Mr. Calhoun" Avery answered.

"We are outside the building. You can call me by my name" Calhoun said and Avery shook her head in disagreement.
