122 Chapter 122

Michael was astonished when Mai mentioned 'interested.'

It made his heartbeat accelerate instantly, and he got the urge to deny it immediately , or else there'd be a misunderstanding.

"No, I'm not interested in you, at least not in the way you are thinking," Michael denied. "I just think that you're better fit to work with me than her."

"Well, duh! You're comparing me to Erin, it's almost like an insult actually, anyone would work better than her," Mai rolled her eyes. "I'm a very professional and efficient worker, don't worry, I will get things done even though I won't be in the same room with you."

"N—No, it's not like that, I—ugh!" Michael began to get frustrated. It seemed that Mai had a permanent sense of  hostility towards him even though he had nothing but goodwill toward her.
