I barely saw her wake up from nightmares, and I can not imagine what she’s been through these days.
She has asked for a vacation. Every day she just play the piano, paint pictures, and raise flowers at home. In theory, she should be in a mood. How did she get like this?
I thought for a while and then asked her, “Have you been watching horror movies on the sly?”
She said nothing, and I did not know if she was asleep again. I just sighed lightly, adjusted the comforter, and held her tightly to continue sleeping.
I also did keep my promise to go far away. I will not check in if I can leave it to Jeffrey Scott to solve the problem, and I’ll give up if he can not solve it. No matter how big deal of collaborations is, in my heart it is not as important as my wife and children.
Since I have been busy for so long, I have not taken good care of them. Although I call and text every day, it may be worth it to stay with her.

As soon as I slept, until I woke up, I smelled the scent from downstairs, got out of bed and went straight down the stairs to the kitchen. What I saw was Ryan Campbell’s busy back.
“Up?”
I walked up behind him, looked at him and said, “I have not eaten your breakfast in a long time.”
“Not that your own cooking is any better than mine?”
I glared at him, “Do you believe that?”
“I believe what you say. Besides, your tastes are not particularly refined, and it’s reasonable to believe that your cooking is delicious.”
“Hmm, you’ll offend me when you get home.”
“Go wash your face and brush your teeth.”
After breakfast, he cleaned up his apartment and took her shopping for some daily necessities and ingredients.
I have probably been home alone for too long, and I am happy as a kid to go out with him.
Seeing that she was in a good mood again, I felt at ease.
I let her buy whatever she wanted to eat and let her do what she wanted.
We spent the day like a normal couple’s date, watching a movie, eating together and take a walk at the seaside.
The wind was especially comfortable, I sat in the chair to enjoy the beautiful night.

I grasped his big hand, leaned against his shoulders, these days are really good.
He resumed his life the next day, but he no longer went on business trip.
After breakfast, Ryan asked me,”Go to company with me together?”
I passed him my overcoat and smiled, “I will find you at noon and send you some delicious to eat.”

Ryan Campbell smiled. “Then I’ll wait. I’ll send someone to pick you up at noon.”
“No, I’ll take a cab myself.”
He said only, “I worry about you.” Then he reached out, took my coat, bowed his head and kissed me on the forehead. “I am leaving now.”
“Well, bye.” He was sent all the way to the elevator, and we reluctantly parted.
After he left, I began searching the internet for recipes and figuring out what to cook for him for lunch.
I spent the whole morning plodding for that. After 12 noon, the driver he had sent arrived downstairs on time. I strapped on the lunchbox, smiled contentedly, then packed my bag and put on my shoes to go out.
By the time I got to his office, I already knew the way to his office, so I took the elevator up. As I sat in the car, I also texted and asked Ryan Campbell, who said he was waiting for me at the office.
I walked happily to the door of the office. Before my hand could open the door, it opened from the inside. Before I could react, I saw a beautiful woman step out from inside.
She is in her early twenties, like a recent college graduate, with a good figure and beautiful features, but why did not I know that Ryan Campbell had such a woman around him?
She just nodded politely, saluted, and walked away with the portfolio.
I pursed my mouth, glanced at the woman’s back, felt a little uncomfortable, pushed open the door and walked in, Ryan Campbell was sitting at his desk.
“You coming?”
I walked over to him and asked, “Who was that woman just now?”
Ryan Campbell paused, “Who?”
“The one who just walked out.”
Ryan Campbell looked her over and could not help but laugh, “Jealous?”
“Say who she is!”
Ryan Campbell stood up and walked over, grabbed my lunch bag and set it on the table. Then he pulled me into his arms and said, “New assistant.”
“Why did you hire her?”
Knowing what I was thinking, he deliberately said, “She has that ability.”
I lightly pushed him off me. “Not because she’s so pretty?”
“Not as pretty as you.”
“Well, you spend most of your time working. Do you spend more time with her than with me?”
As her jealousy grew, Ryan Campbell sat down on the sofa, put his arms around her and said, “Jeffrey Scott recruited her.”
“What if that’s what you order?”
“What type do you think I like?”
I asked, “Smart and capable, handsome and in good shape, don’t you like that?”
“I like stupid and easy to bully.”
I rolled my eyes and heard him continue, “Actually, Jeffrey Scott likes this girl. She just graduated and was originally an intern. He transferred her into the assistant room so she could work with him.”
After Ryan Campbell explained this, I was still skeptical and asked him, “How do you know her so well?”
“She agreed to work alongside me, of course, so I’ll have to find out the details.” After he finished speaking, he got up, took the lunch I had brought, put it on the table, and asked me, “Madam, do you have any questions? If you do not have any, eat first.”
