Taking It Personally

Since Cloe had to confirm today's itinerary with Raelle, she followed them inside the office. As she was closing the door, she could see the staff craning their necks trying to get a peek of the situation inside. But Cloe firmly shut the door at their faces.

When she turned around, Shui Xian had just put Raelle on her chair. Then he straightened up and looked around her office. It was his first time at his wife's office, he was certainly curious to see the place she worked at. 

"Aren't you getting late for the day, Hubby?"

*Cough! Cough! Cough!*

Cloe ended up coughing when she heard Raelle calling him, 'hubby' so naturally. She covered her mouth and apologized before lowering her head. 

Shui Xian smiled at her reaction before he answered his wife, "No, wifey. I still have time." Then he faced her and added, "Besides, I was thinking I should just take a day off today."

"No!" came Raelle's response. "Go to work."
