"End what?"
"Whatever is between you two."
"There is nothing to end between us because there is nothing between me and Gabby. It's just a working relationship. Nothing else. Don't you believe me?" He asked, hurt by her allegations.
"I believe you. But end whatever work relationship you have with her. I don't like her. You seem obsessed with her work, and I wouldn't say I like it. So end it."
"You know that I can't do that?"
"Why? Because she is more important..."
He interrupted her. "That's not true, Phina."
"I see. She means more, right? She is damn rich. Her contract can move your name up the Forbes list, and that is what you care about."
"That's not true, Phina. You know that is not the reason. I have to spend a lot of money on this project. Billions Phina. How do you want me to regain all my losses if I end the deal? That's not how business works."
"But I know there are risks in business."
