《Rowan》 I know you love me but I have a question
《Peyton》OK what's your question?
《Rowan》When she told you that she's been in love with you since she started working for you how come you never went out with her?
《Peyton》I never felt the same way about her and I didn't think it would be right to date someone that I wasn't in love with but don't worry she has a boyfriend she has been seeing for the past 9 months and his name is Zack as Rowan and I were talking my phone rang and it was Jamie so I answered it
