The compliment wasn't the best but she could tell he was trying to be him in her presence.

"Yes."
"I would like to start by making a formal apology face up to you for my behaviour the other day. It was uncalled for. I do not know what came over me, I just felt the need to take you away from him."
"Okay, thank you for coming out open, Jake and I accept but you should know this, I never asked for your help with the guy."
