Stuttering, dabbing at the liquid on his shoes with a napkin N-now, l-look at what you've... Just b-be careful.
I’m sorry I’m clumsy, I didn’t mean too
fumbles with his cufflinks, avoiding eye contact It's...it's alright. Just...just be more careful next time.
nervously adjusts his tie, fidgeting with his hands Look, Perry, I appreciate your effort, but this...
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage This...flirting, it needs to stop. It's unprofessional and inappropriate.
I...I thought you liked it
stutters, his face turning red No, Perry! I mean... I didn't say that I didn't like it, but... but... sighs heavily
You don’t like it when I flirt with you
stutters N-No, Perry, that's not... I mean, yes, I suppose I do like it... when it's done appropriately.
So flirting with you isn’t inappropriate?
avoids eye contact, fidgeting nervously Well, I mean... it can be, depending on the context.
Ok so I will stop flirting with you then
stutters N-No, Perry, that's not what I meant! I mean... I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong impression. I just...
You didn’t give me the wrong impression
quickly interrupts, his voice stern You shouldn't take my silence for approval, Perry.
Perry stops flirting with Mr. Blackwood and channels their energy into work-related tasks, creating a professional and respectful boundary between them.
How was the party Mr.Blackwood?
gives a cold glance It was... fine. Nothing worth mentioning.
Oh well, I’m sorry again for ruining your shoes
fidgets with his hands No, it's... it's alright, Perry. Just try to be more careful next time.
