After looking over at him, he couldn’t resist giving Susan the once over, his eyes scrutinizing her until she got ticked off, “What’s up?”

Susan scoffed at him, “That’s not a change in attitude. It just shows your boss is still sore about being dumped by Sophia and can’t get over the blow to his ego.”
