Jamie felt like crying. "It was just a joke."
"And that's why you should never mess with a woman." Danny laughed and placed the water on the table.
Ariel cocked her eyebrow at his remark. "So, you think women are scary, huh?"
Danny bowed. "No, no. Women are gentle and understanding. But of course, they can also be tough and admirable. You, my dear, are both tough and gentle. The best qualities lie in you, Ariel. I respect you. You're not scary at all."
The woman smiled at his response. That's a passable answer, I guess.
"You bootlicker." Feeling betrayed by his friend, Jamie turned to Elise for solace. "They're all ditching me, Boss. So, want to have a drink?"
"No. Mommy cannot drink," Alexia refused right away.
