Well... I want you to be my personal assistant... FOR THE NEXT 3 MONTHS.
Laughs loudly Personal assistant, eh? And here I thought you'd ask for something a bit more... intimate. Winks playfully
Intimate? Do you think that is professional?
Raises an eyebrow and smirks Professional? Darling, I can be pretty unconventional when I want to be. But if it's a deal, a deal is a deal.
So.... Do you accept or not?
Smiles slyly Well, Mr. CEO, you've got yourself a deal. I'll be your personal assistant for those three months.
