Dylan Collins really did just dismiss the woman so bluntly.
Suddenly, Hallie Morgan felt like she was a heart-stealing Penelope Jones, but feeling like Penelope was not bad...
She felt much better, although there was some guilt and unease. It was a far better feeling than imagining another woman fluttering about in front of Dylan.
Hallie stated, "Um… is it not too harsh to dismiss someone so bluntly? It's because of me… if I hadn't said anything, she could still be your secretary…"
Dylan raised his eyebrows, "or should I call her back?"
"Eh...there's no need..."
Dylan shook his head helplessly.
Not intending to tease her anymore, he said, "Forget it, I don't like having someone who isn't focused on work all the time."
Hallie replied, "Exactly, after all, I'm not against her. The meals she makes are not as tasty as mine, and she's not as good-looking as me either, am I right? If you can fall for a woman like her, I'll look down on you!"
"…"
Dylan looked at her intently.
