“Dylan told me everything!” Elliot said, looking at Dylan. “As soon as he got the lead, he asked me to bring Wendy in!”
Suzy stared at him, certain she had misheard. “What did you just call him?”
Allen was equally stunned. “Wait… did you just call him Dylan?”
“Yeah!” Elliot nodded confidently. “He’s older than me, so I figured I should address him respectfully. Didn’t you say we should get along?”
“I did suggest you get along,” Alfen replied, shaking his head in disbelief. “But I didn’t expect this level of… harmony. No, this isn’t just peaceful, this is downright harmonious!”
He turned to Suzy with a raised brow. “What do you think, boss?”
Suzy didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. What could she even say?
“It’s… fine, I guess. If that was what works for them. Whatever they want to call each other, it’s none of my business.”
Shaking her head, she decided to move on. In any case, thank you both for your effort. But I can handle things from here. Allen, see them out.”
Dylan and Elliot were speechless.
Wasn’t this whole peace treaty supposed to make Suzy less annoyed with them?
So why did it feel like nothing had changed? She still didn’t want to see them for a second longer than necessary and clearly had no interest in engaging with either of them.
The moment they were out of Suzy’s sight, the illusion of camaraderie shattered. The two men returned to their usual, barely restrained hostility as if the so–called harmony had never existed in the first place.
Neither man was willing to spare the other a glance.
Seeing their awkward behavior, Allen warned, “If you’re going to keep up the act, make sure it’s convincing. If the boss catches on, you two really won’t stand a chance.”
That sobered them up a bit, and their expressions finally softened.
“Alright, you two can head back now,” Allen said with a dismissive wave. “I’ll stay

and help the boss from here.”
Though neither of them was particularly happy with Allen’s attitude, neither dared argue. Grudgingly, they left.
Once they were gone, Allen strolled back into Suzy’s office, a playful grin on his face. “Boss, feeling another headache coming on
Suzy didn’t bother looking up from her desk
“You know,” Allen continued, leaning casually against the doorframe. “You’re overthinking all this. Why stress yourself out trying to choose between them? Just take both. You’ve got the means to make it work.
“Besides, with the gender imbalance these days, you’d actually be doing the country a favor.”
Suzy shot him a glare. “Should I add you to the mix too?”
Allen feigned horror. “Why didn’t you say so earlier? I’ve got a wife and kid now! Are you trying to get me in,trouble? Just think, if I left her for you, she’d have my head. “No offense, boss, but even your beauty isn’t worth betraying my family for.”
“Hah! You wish. Too bad for you, I wouldn’t give you the chance,” Suzy fired back. ” And anyway, calling her your wife when you haven’t even married her yet? Talk about getting ahead of yourself. Are you planning to pull off a shotgun wedding?” Allen sighed dramatically. “It’s not like I haven’t tried. I’d marry her tomorrow if I could, but she won’t have it!
“She’s got me completely cornered. It’s like she’s the queen on a chessboard, calling all the shots. With the baby on the way, she’s got me wrapped around her finger and jumping through hoops at every turn. I’ve proposed to her so many times, and she still won’t say yes.”
“That’s on you,” Suzy quipped, unimpressed. “You put her through years of misery, and now you can’t handle a few weeks of payback? Pathetic.”
“No, no, I can handle it,” Allen said quickly. She can make me suffer as much as she wants. I owe her that and more.”
“Good. Keep that attitude,” Suzy replied with a smirk, standing up. “Now let’s go. It’s time we paid Wendy another visit.”
