The two amused Cornelia, and she laughed, saying, “You guys keep mindlessly praising me like this. Are you trying to stroke my ego?"
Abigail replied, "You're so awesome. Can't we compliment you a bit?"
Zack chimed in, "Exactly!"
Cornelia suddenly became serious, "Why does being with someone of the opposite gender always lead to such negative assumptions? Zack and I have been living together for over 20 years, has there ever been any love between us?"
Abigail replied, "Can Zack even be considered a man?"
Cornelia responded, "Definitely not."
Zack said, "Ladies, please watch your words!"
Cornelia thought for a moment, "Why do you guys think something might be happening between me and my boss?"
Abigail asked, "Is there?"
Cornelia glared at her, "Don't joke around. I'm seriously asking you."
Abigail answered, "Because I like the plot of powerful CEOs falling in love. Imagine a handsome and wealthy CEO falling for a beautiful young secretary, dating and working together. Just thinking about it feels so wonderful!"
Cornelia glared at her again, "You're in dreamland, yikes! Zack, your turn."
Zack said, "I'm afraid if I say it, you'll get angry."
Cornelia said, "Just say it. I promise I won't get mad."
Zack said, "I'm also interested in the scenario Abby mentioned."
