"Kalin, I was called an idiot, a daddy's boy, a player, and whimp, everything in the book. Even to this day, the board members try to bring up one fuck up I made in my early days of working there in hopes of getting me out of the company. I don't let it stop me though, because I know that at the end of the day I'm working my ass off." Derek steps a little closer to Kalin and cups the other's cheek gently, "I know I can't expect you to brush things off like me, but I do want you to know that no matter what anyone says, I will always be right there for you. Not just because you're my partner either, but beavsue you're the best damn employee I have there."
