“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.”

“Really? Are you five?” Tom snarked, not missing a beat. “You’re a grown man–handle it yourself instead of tattling like a kid.”

“Alright,” Mark snapped back, sounding crisp and determined.

Tom just blinked, confused. “Huh?”

Mark said flatly, “You were disrespectful to Ms. Jensen.”

Tom opened his mouth to protest, but then saw that stubborn, unfeeling look in Mark’s eyes–like arguing with a robot. He groaned inwardly and finally caved. “Fine, I get it. My bad. I’ll apologize to Ms. Jensen to her face tomorrow.”

Mark let him go.
