Why Does He Call You Like That?

Dan was frozen in shock. He kept staring at Midori with whirlwind of thoughts passing in his mind.

Midori let out a deep sigh. She clenched her hands into fists.

He reached out to hold her hand. "If he's not yours, why does he call you like that?"

Dan's eyes shook. He knew that big companies tend to invite competition, but unless there would be deep hatred, people do not usually resort to violence. He remained silent so she could continue.
