It was a shame that she was leaving, but I loved watching her walk away.

“Fuck,” Toby said. He leaned back in his chair and let his head fall back.

“Too bad she had to leave. I liked her,” I said. His head popped back up and he glared at me.

“What the hell is the matter with you?” he asked.

“Me? She’s the one who walked out of here before we had a chance to get anything done.”

“Don’t play fucking dumb. You told her to leave, Easy.” He signaled for a server to come to our table. Were we still eating? The meeting was over, why were we still here?

“I don't see what the big deal is.”

Toby put in his order, not for food, but for whiskey. A double. Okay. I could kind of see what the problem was. Toby didn't typically drink during the day. He was upset about the meeting. We hadn't given the woman any money yet, so this wasn't a loss. We had a meeting to figure out whether we would be able to work well together, and we figured out that we would not work well together. Sounded productive to me.

“If it bothers you that much, I’ll wear a fucking button down to the next meeting. Okay?”

“Why don't you take anything seriously?”

“I take serious things seriously. You wanted me to sit here and pretend like a meeting about my fashion sense was serious?”

“It is serious.”

“Please. It’s one fucking step above discussing what color your shit was last night.”

“Do you see what just happened? That wouldn't have happened if you took this seriously. She’s a professional and we were consulting her. You insulted her and wasted her time.”

I scoffed. “Her job is coaching people to match their socks with their ties. What was I supposed to do? Sit there and take her calling me a slob some more?”

“If it hurt your feelings, that means you know it’s true. Would it have killed you to respect the fact that she’s good at her job no matter whether you think it’s a real job or not? Maybe listen to her explain the things you don’t believe when I say them to you, and actually put them in practice?”

“Why are you so mad about this?”

“You really don't give a fuck, do you? You're so hard-headed, you don't even want to give it a shot. You don't even want to try to hear her out. Hear what she has to say.” The server appeared and placed Toby’s whiskey in front of him. He picked it up and cleared the tumbler in one big swallow.

“Jesus Christ man, it's not even three p.m.” He stood up.

“Yeah, but you are intent on sinking this business so what do I have to lose?” He pulled some bills out of his wallet and tossed them on the table, then started walking out. What the hell?

I knew he was upset but wasn't he taking this too far? He was straight up having a temper tantrum just because I didn't want to play dress-up with the British fashion girl.
