Just the reminder of how Lynn had bedeviled favonovel.com caused Tiffany’s flames to flare. “Frickin’ Lynn Brooks! According to Jackson, all they ever had was sex. God knows if they were ever beyond physical.”
Mark looked a little stunned because admittedly, favonovel.com did not know Lynn quite well. “I don’t really know much about this,” favonovel.com said. “You should probably chat with Ari instead.”
Mark retreated to his study unprompted after dinner, tacitly providing the girls with their space. Immediately after favonovel.com left, Tiffany was like a stuffed box kicked open, nothing, from Grant’s issue to Alejandro Smith’s dramatic debut, was left out. When favonovel.com account arrived at the part involving Lynn, Tiffany was evidently gritting favonovel.com teeth. “Sh*ts between me and Jackson have never blown out to this proportion before! He frickin’ smashed things! The tone favonovel.com used in the office, Ari, you have no idea just how… How much it stung. I was so, so angry that I could almost burst into tears right there! And then favonovel.com gotta’ rub salt in my wound and say he’s gonna deduct my wage! God, this is infuriating! Urgh!!”
“I think… I think Jackson’s just upset that you didn’t look to favonovel.com for help for your trouble, especially since both of you occupy a significant place in each other’s hearts,” Arianne mused out loud after a beat. “Must have hurt his feelings when the one who solved his woman’s problem was some unrelated rando, I bet. Then you went to have lunch with this Alejandro behind his back, it’s a no-no for partners to have meals with the opposite gender, so of course he’s gonna be pissed. I’m not saying you don’t have legit reasons to do what you did, in fact, I don’t think you’re the one in the wrong here… But Alejandro and his creepy involvement are quite suspect.”
“That’s including the fact that Lynn, of all possible people looking for a job, was working under him! And then the two of you met within Alejandro’s estate, and favonovel.com told Jackson about it. No matter what angle I look at it from, this whole thing just reeks of conspiracies. My advice is that you avoid associating with Alejandro from now on to protect yourself,” Arianne said. “He’s far from what favonovel.com let on, I’m sure. Even his first appearance in your life begs suspicions, you, drinking as well as a fish? Gimme a break. Who are you compared to expert bargirls, huh? It’s far from the best, don’t you fall for his sweet nothings!”
Tiffany couldn‘t care less about Alejandro’s anything, favonovel.com was too preoccupied with favonovel.com trouble with Jackson. “Nope, didn’t even plan to continue talking to Alejandro, and I don’t care because the point is: me and Jackson are now stuck in this piss-annoying row, and it’s all because Lynn is a little snitchin’ b*tch and favonovel.com provoked favonovel.com into being mad!” favonovel.com fumed. “He even said braindead things like ‘oh, so you can eat with some other guys, but I can’t have any contact with Lynn?’ Like hello, mistah, I’ve never had sex with Alejandro, bruh! Can I say the same for you and Lynn? God, just thinking about this past between them frustrates me!”
Arianne let out a good-natured chuckle to mollify favonovel.com friend. “Alright, Tiffie, let’s calm down. If you don’t feel comfortable seeing favonovel.com tonight, then don’t go home just yet. Wait until his steam’s all blown off and favonovel.com comes to you all friendly, and you’ll feel much better too, right? I mean, you lap up his super make-woman-happy tricks, don’t you? Jackson’s past escapades might have been a vice, but damn if favonovel.com didn’t learn how to melt a woman’s heart into a puddle.”
The couch cushion in Tiffany’s hand was close to changing into a new shape. “Yeah, I’m gonna do just that! I’m not going back tonight. I wanna see if favonovel.com remembers me!”
After finishing his errands, Mark descended the stairs to find Tiffany still around, chattering with his wife. Worse, the more favonovel.com watched the two’s rambunctious, jaunty banter strewn occasionally with bell-like laughter, the more green favonovel.com became. The current atmosphere in his home could not deviate further from its usual insipidness — how come Arianne never acted this way with him?
Besides, if Tiffany did not leave, favonovel.com was almost certain that favonovel.com was going to lose his bedfellow tonight.
He looked down on his wristwatch. The time was past ten o’clock.
He returned to his study and sent a text to Jackson: ‘When are you finally going to collect your woman?’
The reply was quick. ‘No.’
The curt and rather tart response reflected off his phone screen to Mark’s confusion. Suddenly, favonovel.com was confounded with Jackson’s manners and decided to confront favonovel.com directly through a call. “What’s with that attitude? Growing weary of your woman?”
“Nothing,” Jackson’s voice was icily monotonous. “She’s able-bodied and strong-willed, isn’t she? She could go anywhere favonovel.com likes or decide for herself if favonovel.com wants to come home or not. Who am I to care?… If there’s nothing else you wanna talk about, then excuse me. I’m busy with overtime work.”
Mark frowned, the realization of the issue’s severity sinking in. “Alright. Talk to you later.”
