"I'll see what she can do first. As long as she has the right mindset, she should be able to get used to the job soon. Everyone was fresh and green when they first graduated." Avery came to a decision. "Let's eat!"
"I'm already done." He set his spoon down and glanced at her plate. "You were chewing on a bite of pasta for over a few minutes."
"That bad?" She blushed and changed the subject. "What about your assistant? I suppose a lot of people have submitted their resume to your end, right? Should be easy enough to hire one."
"Human resources has started interviewing them," he said. "Once they are done with filtering the candidate, I'll interview them myself."
"You really don't care, huh? How could you not when they are hiring your assistant?"
"It's just an assistant. Anyone who fulfills all my requirements couldn't be too bad," he said calmly.
"Talent is one thing, but isn't it important to know if they are a good match to your personality as well? Just look at you and Chad!" Avery said.
"There are rarely two individuals that are the perfect match for one another. Do you really think that we had that mutual understanding when we first met? How do you know?"
Avery froze at his words, but soon decided to tease him. "We might not be a perfect match when we first met, but I was attracted by your handsome face the first time I saw you."
"..."
"Back when you were in a vegetative state, I would stare at your face for hours. Staring, touching..." She shot him a smug look. "People usually say that love at first sight starts with lust. I think that makes sense in some way. You might be hot-tempered, but you look great! I wouldn't have put up with you if you looked horrendous."
He pursed his lips in silence, but realized what she meant shortly after. "You are saying that I'm good-looking."
