Heinz Jones noticed that she was unapologetic. "You tried to provoke me. Anyone who does that has to suffer the consequences." He spoke gravely.
"This is an office." Grace Smith responded. "It is not the proper place for us to behave in such a manner." Grace Smith added.
"You started it." Heinz Jones replied.
"And I apologized." She replied.
"Oh." He said.
It was futile to argue with her.
"No sneering." Grace Smith spoke, she looked into his intense gaze. "I hate it when you do that, it's really annoying. It's not polite, Mr. Jones."
She clenched her fist slightly.
"Do you know what I absolutely despise?" Heinz Jones asked.
Grace Smith felt a flash of irritation across her eyes. "Your desires and loathings are completely foreign to me. It will take time and effort to comprehend it."
"Grace Smith, my office has a lounge. Why don't you stay here with me tonight?" Heinz Jones replied coldly.
Grace Smith froze.
She was embroiled in a whirlwind of emotion.
