I expected him to dismiss the question, but to my surprise, he wanted to answer. "I see you as a preferable candidate. Cassie will always be Cassie, and I don't want to deal with that," he said.
Should I be happy that he sees me as fit for this? "Oh," I said. "Any more questions?" he asked. I shook my head. "No, at least not now."
"Shoot already. This is the only time I'll be giving you the opportunity to ask questions," he said. I see he's in a good mood today.
"Why do I feel like you don't want me to leave?" I asked. He chuckled. "Is that even a question?" "Yeah, it is, so answer me," I said to him, and he thought about it.
"Maybe it's because my money is with you," he said, and I know it's not a good answer, but I'll work with that. "Okay."
"Is that all?" I thought of another question. "What about your family? They don't come here often. Why?" "They don't care about me, that's why. It's best to be on my own. Determination made me what I am today."
