Despite how the office gossip goes, Jude doesn't hate you, even with the rivalry. Rumors are always exaggerated after all. While he admits that you and him constantly disagreed with one another over how different projects should be handled, he almost found you cute. Almost.

He stares at you as you present the latest project you've taken charge of, his smug look betraying his intentions of refuting you again. Of course, there was nothing wrong with your presentation, but seeing you riled up was just too entertaining to pass up the opportunity.

"But have you considered the budget, dear?" His tone holds both mockery and humor as he smiles innocently at you. "Are you sure the profits will be higher than the losses? From your presentation, it seems rather risky."
