Ariana blushed, flapping her hands dismissively, and responded in a playful manner, “I got it, my dear Sarah.
Just this once.
I’m really grateful!”
“If you truly appreciate my help, you could start addressing me as ‘sister’ more frequently,” Sarah retorted, raising her chin in a playful gesture.
Left with no other choice, Ariana teasingly obliged, calling Sarah ‘sister’ a handful of times before Sarah released her.
They swiftly changed their attire.
Sarah, holding the keys, leaned over to place a hat on Ariana’s head, “Wait here, I’ll get the car.

“Have you forgotten how much the boss cares about this woman?” Nolan chastised him, his frown deepening.
Donny, rolling his eyes, retorted loudly, “Care? What’s the point of caring now?
These rich folks are fickle, always after the next shiny thing, then they lose interest.
Remember, we’re handling their toys here, not precious treasures.
”
Having vented, he turned his back, covering his face with his shirt.
“Okay, okay, let’s just get through this.
I need sleep.
Keep the noise down, if you want to play guard, do it quietly.
