Had he lost her again? Michael blinked. Cho didn't seem to be looking at him. Again, probably just his imagination, but he felt like Cho was looking through him. Merlin, I am off my game! he thought to himself. It was just a simple conversation, right? Though Michael was used to girls getting bored with him and moving on, it usually didn't happen this quickly. Then again, Cho had already been there once, so that could shorten the time span. Huh, Michael now wondered if he were that shallow? There were those who would say yes without a second's hesitation.
Michael was determined not to show that he was phased. "It's absolutely not a problem," he responded. "What would you want to do if you could do anything you wanted?" he asked. "That's kind of how I came to my job. I started with the ultimate goal and found what could work as the steps to get me there. It's a good place to start." Michael was trying to be helpful, but he wasn't sure he was succeeding.
