"Michael…" Her voice lowered, pursing her lips into a thin line. "How come you weren't surprised when I told you Marcus was bugging me?" 

Michael slowly raised a brow before he casually said, "I'm unemployed and had nothing else to do but snoop around my friend's business." 

"For fun?" 

"Take it whatever fits your taste." He shrugged. "I don't really care." 

You do, was what she wanted to say, studying him quietly.
