Tiffany approached Janice and looked at the badge around her chest carefully. “Yes, she’s called Janice Bell. She’s just an intern, and she’s not an official employee there just yet. Mark, how capable you are, indeed! You don’t even know what kind of jewelry your wife likes. You asked another person to choose one for you. Is that true?”
Arianne looked at Mark, waiting for his reply.
Mark became nervous, being stared at like that by Arianne. His palms became sweaty. “I… That… It’s indeed true. Ari, since you’re here, why don’t you choose the ones you like?”
Arianne was in no mood to choose jewelry at the moment. She then said calmly, “Money is everything. If you don’t know what I like, just give me money so that I can buy one myself. You don’t have to worry much about this too. Are you quite free? How could you even have the time to come here and choose jewelry. I’m tired, so I’ll let you bring Smore with you back to the company this afternoon, since you did quite a good job taking care of him.”
Janice was attracted by Smore. “Sure, why not? When Mr. Tremont is busy, I can help take care of Smore too. Smore… Do you still remember who I am? We played with each other before.”
The sudden interruption made the atmosphere became weirder. Mark averted his gaze awkwardly. “Janice, you can return to the company now.”
Janice felt puzzled. “Alright, I’ll leave now.”
Arianne gritted her teeth but said nothing. She handed Smore to Mark, who held the baby in reflexively. The next second, he trembled slightly after being stared at by Arianne. “It’s not what you think! Didn’t you get angry at me and leave to go to South Park the other day? I took Smore with me to the company. I needed to attend a meeting, so I had no other choice but to ask somebody to take care of him for a while. I indeed came here today to choose jewelry for you. There’s nothing between me and her…”
