"Don't misunderstand me! I don't consider you a substitute for my ex. You're much better than him. My ex had no ambition and nowhere near your level of competence..."
Lucas raised an eyebrow. "Ms. Feake, I'm not interested in your personal life."
Missy chuckled. "Then what are you interested in? Lucas, there's no one else here so you don't need to be so cautious."
"I'm not being cautious; I'm speaking the truth. Ms. Feake, give up on any notions you might have. I'm not interested in you."
