My friends call me by my name."" You don't have any friends."" I don't want you to be my friend, Selia, or my servant, not now. I thought you were both. You have let me know I was wrong. So are you to treat me so. You are wrong.

About This Quote

It is very important to respect the terms of a relationship so that you are not perceived as being disrespectful. If you are to be treated as nothing close to a friend or servant, it is important to avoid being wrong so that you are not treated as these things.

It’s about respecting the terms of the relationship but still maintaining your dignity and professionalism.
