14.28

Clarke was busy again with his job today. He woke up early after spending the whole night fighting against a supervillain.

He defeated that supervillain but could not catch her because she escaped right before Clarke could reach her.

Clarke returned at midnight with a bruised body and exhausted mental strength. So Gaius said nothing when he just slumped on the bed, still with his Superbman suit. 

In the morning, though, Clarke readied himself for work, and Gaius tried to stop him, "Husband, you should take a rest. Just one day is okay, right? You can sit with me and read some books, or watch some soap operas. Or maybe you want me to cook something good for our brunch?"

"No, I can't do that, Wife," Clarke refused as he checked his watch and fixed his ties on the mirror. He didn't even look at his wife, only busy with the phone. 

"Why not? You're the CEO… of course. You can just tell the manager to handle the company, right? Just for one day…."
