"I don't!" Dorothy had reached her breaking point.

He was clearly trying to exploit the situation! "So, do you think I'm not as handsome as Everett, not as wealthy?" The abrupt change in his demeanor threw her off.

"Um... shouldn't we be avoiding this topic? Byte 7, I asked for your help to retrieve data from my flash drive. This is a transaction between us. I don't want to drag personal matters into it." Byte 7 seemed to straighten up a bit, his voice regaining some of its usual tone.
