The girl had managed to implant herself into Ariel's life. But she was taking too long to build a strong relationship with her. A relationship where they shared hugs and air kisses. Where they told each other secrets like whether or not their marriages were fake.
Granted Zachariah had never had any meaningful friendships. So he had no idea how long it took to share such information, but the girl was taking too long. Apparently madam Mo thought so as well.
