"If you ever come at me that way again, I will leave. We will just call it quits with this whole thing because I am not going to put up with that."
He nodded. "I understand."
"I have seen you do this before with that female employee. You tried to physically intimidate her. And you tried to physically intimidate me into submitting to you. That was wrong of you."
He nodded. "Yes, it was."
"You scared me."
She finally felt her eyes become hot with tears. The newly composed expression of his faltered, too. He looked pained, regretful.
"I know. I am so sorry. I feel horrible. I know the look in your eye. I have seen it before."
"I thought…" She blinked a few times, really trying not to cry. "I thought you were going to hit me."
His face crumbled. His eyebrows came together as he felt nausea take over.
"I… I would never."
She sighed and sat back down on the be.
