"Then, let me introduce myself first. My name is Michael. So you don't have to refer to me as Noah's female or 'his female' when you're trying to address me. It makes me... Uncomfortable."
"Ah," realizing her mistake, she quickly bowed her head and apologized. "I apologize, Mister Michael. I'll refer you like this from now on."
Okay, since Michael was older than her, he didn't mind being addressed formally.
She was nice and obedient, quick to take correction, and probably fast on her feet, too.
If they got a little closer in the future, then he'd let her call him by his name for convenience's sake.
Michael smiled and said,
"Good. I'll be in your care," he raised his hand for a handshake. "And... I don't exactly need you to put your life on the line. If it's something we can't handle then we'll just run. Is that fine?"
"But..." Alyssa wanted to object.
