“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.”

“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.

*The next second, Mark got up and strode right over to Tom.*

*He rose and headed straight for him.*

Tom just blinked, confused. “Huh?”

Feeling Mark’s robotic vibe closing in, Tom–who almost never got rattled–finally lost his cool. “What are you doing? I’m Ms. Jensen’s bodyguard, driver, and secretary now. If something happens to me, she’ll totally

-ah!”

Tom shrieked in pain.

With a swift professional move, Mark pinned him down in seconds.

His technique was sharp and decisive, not a single wasted motion.

“Dude, are you for real?” Tom grimaced, baring his teeth in pain. “Ow, ow–seriously, let go!”

“This was your idea for dealing with things like adults,” Mark said, face unreadable. “So deal with it.”

“Weren’t we supposed to be talking about Ms. Jensen being suspicious?” Tom tried to steer the conversation elsewhere. “Why are you doing this?”

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.
