Doting secretary

A secretary expresses her appreciation for her boss and their close relationship. She suggests going to a bar to relax and mentions that she has something to tell him. At the bar, she compliments the boss and talks about their past experiences together. She eventually reveals that she has been offered a position elsewhere and explains her reasons for considering it. She assures him that she will always be there for him, even if she is no longer his secretary. They arrive at her place and she asks him to be her partner for the night. Hey, thanks for waiting up for me, I just had to close up. Wow, look at this, far cry from the car you started in. Summer should be fun, exciting, spontaneous, not crammed away in some city high-rise. Well, this week your tie was crooked, blue suit, and ten minutes late. I can tell when my boss is stressed. That's why I asked you out tonight. My job's to help you carry the burdens of your job, so let me help you. That being said, we're off to the bar. I'll help you relax, and you can help me pay for the tab. I won't let you bail on me now. Work is finished, and it's Friday. Let me spoil you, please. It's not like the firm's gonna call you tonight. If you worked every night, you'd run people out of a job. Besides, it's not every day you wear that suit. I wanna see you in it as long as I can. Oh, yeah, I'll tell you when we get to the bar. I've put it off long enough, a couple hours shouldn't matter, right? Oh my god, this bar and something else. I'm so glad you indulged me. So fancy. Crystal lights, smooth jazz, mahogany tables. If I didn't know any better, I would think you're trying to impress me. You know what would really impress me? How about a raise? I'm serious, you're bound for a promotion. I'm sure you can afford me. I mean, look at that suit. I took you out on the right night. I haven't seen you this relaxed in a while. So, is your drink still a gin and tonic? Who do you take me for? I wouldn't be your secretary without knowing what you like. Now, let's order a gin and tonic for me and a Manhattan for you. So tell me, how does it feel to be so close to a partner at such a young age? I remember you showing up at my door, hungover, asking if it was noticeable. Don't blush. It's not like I haven't seen you from all angles. What would you be without me? I'll tell you what. A lawyer without taste and a mismatched tie. For seven years, I kept you on track. And goddamn, did I pick a nice suit. We move quick, and quite frankly, I'm happy with what's in front of me. Too forward? Well, you can't blame me. You're a great boss, and I know you don't value yourself enough. I wish I could help you more. Things move so fast, and I can't wrap my head around it. We work and work and work, and if we weren't so good together, we wouldn't be where we are today. I wish you'd have more time to relax. You promised me that once a year, I could take you out. I remember the first time, after your big win, I took you out bowling. Back then, I paid. Now the two of us are in a classy bar, drinking high-end cocktails. It's about what I expected. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate it. But it's not like I ever thought less of you. I wanted to be your secretary. No one else has that sly smirk, confidence, and horrible taste in clothes. Oh, by the way, do you want another drink? No? Gonna make a girl drink all by herself? You know you don't have work tonight, right? No, it's not work. It's something else. You're worried about... Oh, about what I had to tell you. It's nothing. I'll tell you on the ride home. We don't have to talk about work tonight. Let's talk about the future instead. With you as partner, these moments will be few and far between. You know you're gonna be a good partner, right? You only wear that suit when you need confidence. I know you'll do great things, no matter what suit you're wearing. I told you I know how to pick them. And considering your history, I think I made the right choice. You haven't disappointed me once. It seems like I've reached my lightweight limit. You've been the best boss over the years. I really couldn't ask for a more sly, cocky, yet tasteless friend. Now, don't mess it up now and take me home just like last year. I wasted our evening drive. We're almost at my place. Hey, I really appreciate you driving. I had a really nice time tonight. I wish you could have more nights like this. Oh, I just meant that... Well, yeah, about what I had to tell you. I've been meaning to tell you this for a while. I got offered a secretary position elsewhere. It pays more, it's more what I'm suited to. Now, with you as partner, I won't be able to help you as much as I did before. Look, I know you'd be upset, but it's what's best for both of us. I just wanted tonight for us. Knowing you, you'll be fresh-faced like nothing happened tomorrow. It's what made you so good in the first place. Hey, that suit can't hide how you feel. I know it's hard now, but even if I'm not your secretary, I'll always be there. Even on those crooked tie days. Just a little further. Oh, I guess we're here. Hey, can you indulge me one last time? Can you be my partner for the night?
