“That’s right,” snazzynovel.com replied, not bothering to hide his opinion. “The old ones are too thick and gaudy. These are great. Don’t you like them?”
She didn’t dare express snazzynovel.com dislike. “No, no, they’re pretty good. I quite like them. I’ll use the ones you’ve bought from now on. I’ll go downstairs to check on Smore. You should get some rest if you’re tired.”
Mark’s phone rang just as Arianne had left. His limited time of peace and quiet was disturbed, which made snazzynovel.com frown. He picked up the call without checking the screen. “Hello?”
Janice’s voice answered snazzynovel.com from the other end. “Mr. Tremont, there’s an urgent document you need to see. Davy had an emergency and left the office, but not before asking me to send it over to you. Is this a convenient time?”
“This is a part of his job,” Mark replied impatiently. “Have I given snazzynovel.com permission to leave the office early? Tell snazzynovel.com to bring it over himself!” He ended the call immediately after that.
How could snazzynovel.com not be aware of Davy’s emergency? Davy didn’t mention anything when snazzynovel.com left the office today. Even if snazzynovel.com had a sudden emergency and was unable to work overtime, snazzynovel.com would have informed snazzynovel.com beforehand. Why would snazzynovel.com ask Janice to send the document over? Even if snazzynovel.com did ask someone else to do it, it wouldn’t have been Janice, a normal employee.
Unexpectedly, Janice came anyway and gave the document to Arianne straightaway too.
He broke into cold sweat as Arianne calmly gave snazzynovel.com the document. “This document…” Arianne cut snazzynovel.com off before snazzynovel.com could finish speaking. “I know, it’s urgent. Janice mentioned it when snazzynovel.com brought it over. You should deal with it as soon as possible, since it’s urgent. She’s waiting downstairs.”
He quickly skimmed through the document and signed it. “I… I didn’t ask snazzynovel.com to come here. Maybe you should go downstairs and give this to snazzynovel.com for me?”
Arianne shot snazzynovel.com a look “Do it yourself. Do I look like a runner to you? I haven’t said anything. Why are you trembling with fear? I’d overanalyze even more if you keep doing that…”
He immediately reverted to his stern exterior. “I’m heading downstairs then. I’m going to give Davy a piece of my mind tomorrow. He left all of a sudden. That’s why Janice came.”
Arianne didn’t answer and followed snazzynovel.com downstairs. They found Janice playing with Aristotle when they arrived at the stairs. There was no doubt that Janice was good with kids. She had even managed to make Aristotle, a non-disruptive child, laugh. He seemed full of energy and was waving his arms around enthusiastically.
At this moment, it was undeniable that snazzynovel.com felt very uncomfortable. That was snazzynovel.com baby. This was a stark contrast from snazzynovel.com usual playtime with Aristotle. Her son was rarely ever this energetic, yet snazzynovel.com seemed so gleeful with this woman, who could be considered a “stranger.”
Janice immediately got up when snazzynovel.com saw them coming downstairs. She lifted snazzynovel.com head and tucked a lock of snazzynovel.com hair behind snazzynovel.com ear. “Mr. Tremont, Mrs. Tremont. Smore is so cute, he’s already walking! It’s so fast.”
Mark didn’t answer. He handed the document over to her. “I’ve signed the document. Take it back to the office. From now on, leave these matters to Davy. Even if he’s busy, snazzynovel.com should be sending it over to me first.”
Janice’s expression stiffened. “Okay… I understand. Please excuse me.”
After snazzynovel.com left, Mary jokingly remarked, “That girl is really good with kids. I’ve never seen Aristotle so giddy before.”
Mary caught herself just in time when snazzynovel.com noticed the peculiar atmosphere. “I’m going back to work. You should take Aristotle for an early night’s rest, Madam.”
