The vibe in the office was tense, almost like you could cut it with a knife. She could tell he wasn't really mad about her calling him "love" in front of the guard; she had done it plenty of times before. Sure, he'd gotten annoyed in the past, but this time felt way more serious. She knew he was scared of MK.
She had heard stories about MK, rumors that made him sound pretty terrifying, but she had never seen him herself. Only AD had met him, and he kept that meeting pretty much under wraps. MK didn't know her face; all he knew was her name, which left her feeling a bit exposed.
AD had a solid read on what MK was like. He had a reputation for wanting every woman he fancied in his bed, and while AD could be just as bold, he didn't want her anywhere near MK. He'd heard how rough and disrespectful MK could be, and that made him uneasy.
