“Ms. Jensen’s suspicious,” Mark said, all serious.

“Isn’t that normal?” Tom replied, way too chill. He thought Mark was overreacting. “If she wasn’t suspicious, that’d be the real problem.”

Mark just stared at him.

Tom shrugged. “I’m not wrong.”

Mark was discussing business as usual, but suddenly threw in another jab. “You’re disrespecting Ms. Jensen. I’m telling on you.”

Mark let him go.
