Mark rose to his feet and straightened out his clothes before he bluntly replied, “You should avoid fanciful thoughts and just do your job. It doesn’t matter if I’m distancing myself from you, I’m your boss. That’s our only connection. I’ve provided financial aid for a lot of people. I’ve never considered asking for repayment.”
Then, he left the bar at once. He lifted his hand to sniff his collar when he entered the car. He made sure the smell of alcohol on him was not too strong before he relaxed. He could sense that Arianne disliked him drinking. The thought of her pulling a long face gave him a headache. He was truly helpless whenever that woman was involved.
...
As expected, Tiffany burst into anger the moment Jackson arrived home reeking of alcohol. “Aren’t you supposed to be working overtime? So you went drinking instead?” Her chest was heaving heavily from her anger.
Jackson felt his scalp tingle. “My mom says that breastfeeding mothers shouldn’t get angry, it’ll spoil the milk…”
Tiffany laughed despite her rage. “Your mom also says you shouldn’t go out and fool around. Why didn’t you listen to her? Why did you lie to me? Who have you been drinking with? You have no need to lie if it was with Mark. So… Was it someone else? A woman? I was wondering why you haven’t touched me at all. Have you gotten sick of me?”
Jackson took a deep breath and wiped his face to sober himself up. “I swear, I really was with Mark. You can call him if you don’t believe me. The bar is a little further away from his house, he’s probably still on the way home. I was just feeling frustrated so I wanted to relax. It’s late, let’s discuss this tomorrow. Bed first.”
