How being manipulated all the time is how this place is. He never really helped me. He's always only trying to help himself. He's so sly. He's the master manipulator. The salesman. Taking over other people's work. With a smile. A slimy smile. Terrible. Not so interested in his friend's friend. Really not. No thank you. All the same type of person. Very immoral practice. But just his way. Slimy way.

Nevermind him. See right through him. Play along, and let but in the end don't get played by him. And then if there is a better alternative, go for it. He is not worth worrying about. Be happy.
