"Do you think you might be delusional?" Ava rolled her eyes at Nathan's suggestion, her tone sharp and merciless.
"Why do you always get so angry when Iris is involved? There must be something about her you dislike—anger doesn't come from nowhere." Nathan's curiosity grew rather than fading at Ava's biting sarcasm.
"From what I've observed, you're not someone who usually shows your feelings so openly, but with Iris, it's like you radiate hostility."
"What do you mean I 'radiate hostility'? It's Iris who starts it, isn't it? Should I just stand there and take it when she provokes me, and then grovel in response? Nathan, please use that brain you employ to manage multimillion-dollar deals to think this through. It's frustrating; I'm genuinely concerned for the future of your company!"
