Morgan tried to stay calm as he spoke to Melody, but he couldn't help feeling frustrated. "It's simple enough, Mel—" he began.
"You keep saying that," she interrupted, her voice tense.
"But you don't find it so," he replied, gritting his teeth. "I swear, I want your experience as my PA on this trip, not as a woman. It's not about bringing Sarah because she has other commitments at work, and I need someone I trust to handle this business deal with me."
Melody shot back at Morgan, feeling a hint of discomfort as he gave her an assessing look. "You've made that abundantly clear," she retorted, quickly adding, "And that's completely fine."
She was aware that she had sounded almost disappointed that Morgan wanted her services professionally but not personally. She continued, "But what is it you want me to do, as your PA?" She was eager to regain her credibility and prove her worth on the trip.
