"Mr. Roberts, Arianna's been working here while you guys have been in Jarold City. Are you guys planning to be separated from each other?" Unexpectedly, Naomi chose that moment to bring it up.

"Wow! Is this a show of affection? So sweet!" Naomi said coyly.

Then she noticed Rowane's pale face, "Miss Zanes, you are Mr. Roberts' colleague, you must be used to this by now."

Rowane gave a faint smile, "I usually work in Jarold city and rarely see Miss Reid, so I'm not sure."

Naomi frowned slightly and quipped, "Ah, don't employees call her Mrs. Roberts? Why do you address her as Miss Reid? That's so distant."

"Miss Reid and I rarely see each other, so I didn't have the opportunity to get used to it," Rowane said without any other emotions.
