Of sex and interruption.

(ARIELLE'S POV)

A bile rose in the pit of my stomach after Jared left, making me lose appetite. What notification could have arrived in his phone that made his countenance change in seconds? I wondered.

I turned around and craned my neck in the direction he took, hoping to get a glimpse of him, but I saw nothing. For a moment, I thought of going after him to spy, but thought against it. I would rather wait for him to return and inquire what the notification he received was about. And so I waited.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to go away for that long," Jared's voice sounded as he rejoined me. And then he glanced at my food, and up at me. "You stopped eating?"

"You didn't expect me to keep eating when I saw how upset you looked by the notification you got on your phone, did you?" I asked, displeased.

"It was nothing serious. Come on, let's resume eating," he said in a dismissive tone.

"What was the notification about?" I blurted, my eyes trained on him.

Jared looked surprised, like he didn't expect me to pry. His reaction was justified, because I wasn't exactly one to be concerned about his private affairs, but I had a bad gut feeling about this one.

"It's work," he responded plainly.

"Is it Sofia?" I persisted.

This time, the surprise on Jared's face was palpable. You can't blame me, I have grown a sixth sense since Sofia's arrival. And with everything that has been going on, I wouldn't be surprised that she had sent Jared some cryptic message, especially after we left her by herself.

Don't get me wrong, there are several things that could get Jared upset, but work was scarcely one of them. He was always in control, and rarely let news from his workplace sway him, not even when the company was having issues. The only time I had seen Jared react to his phone notification noticeably, was the night Sofia sent him tons of messages. With his reaction a few minutes ago, I was no different from his reaction that night.

"So tell me, was it from her?" I probed further when he gave no response.
