Boss

Val waited for him, knowing how much he didn’t like anyone to break the rules. She was aware of what he was doing without having to watch him. Bates took his time, surveying the area, looking for any possible threat, before he let her exit the safety of the vehicle. She knew she was safe. Dane had assured Val when she first joined his staff that Bates had some quirks that she would find odd. He told her to go with the flow, and not let him get to her. That’s what Val did, and in return, she took liberty in teasing the man whenever she could.
