My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

The trolley cart was full, but my heart was empty. I fished out my phone and called Freya. "Sorry, I failed in letting Anne take my advice. If you're not happy working with her, I'll support any decisions that you make."

Freya laughed and said, "Don't be silly. I won't squabble children. Honestly, you could have told me you went looking for her."

"I just don't want the relationship between you both to be stiff." I exhaled and said helplessly.

"It's not that big of a deal. I've seen so many relatives fighting against each other. This kind of thing won't happen in our family. Don't worry. I'll continue to keep an eye on Anne. I guess she's in a rebellious phase. She'll be fine after it's over." Freya didn't take it seriously.

"I hope so." I heaved a long sigh of relief. For a moment, there was no better solution.

"Arianna," Freya suddenly called out.

"What?" I asked.

"Thank you."

I was not just standing up for her but also for Anne. I felt that her gratitude was too much to bear. "Don't be disgusting. I'm not Cyril. I won't be tempted by your sweet words."

"Well, why don't you take me as your master and learn how to charm a man so that Jordan can't escape from you?" Freya began to joke.

"He can't escape from my grasp since a long time ago," I said, "But after he left yesterday, I've not heard from him at all. I'm a little worried now."

"Don't be anxious. A mouse who has tasted the sweetness of cheese will turn back, even though it knows it's a trap. All you have to do now is wait," Freya analyzed.
