why is it always "I love you" and not "I'm not going to fire you! It's childish to fire you just because you told me you like me. And if we ever run into each other after I fire you, we'll have to ignore each other and that already makes me get indigestion. I already have tons of people who make me feel uncomfortable in my life. And I'm not going to add another person on the list. I feel bad that I have to endure people like that. So I won't do that with you. [...] I'm going to attend you grandmother's funeral. And I want you to come to my mother's funeral. So just be honest with me. Don't try to suck it up on your own. From now on, I'm going to treat you exactly how I treat my teammates. So you can do the same. And be nicer to others. [...] It's true that the employees weren't that friendly to you. But I'll make sure they change, so you should change too. I'll see you work until the end of your contract. And you'll be complimented at your next job. So if we run into each other decades later, I'm going to greet you and I'll be glad to see you again. I'm not going to ignore you because we've become awkward. I'm going to greet you with a smile. Let's do that. Please. Let's do that. Buy me another pair of slippers."
