“Your sister is something difficult. Did you get her angry anytime?” Emily asked as she got done with cleaning up his injury.A sad smile spread across Richard’s lips and inasmuch as he liked the fact that Emily cared, he wasn’t ready to open up yet.“I get that, you would rather not talk to me and that’s fine. I mean, there are different things in our lives which we can’t share so easily”, Emily said, and walked back to drop the first aid kit at the store.She returned to find Richard lost in thoughts again. His eyes were focused to a particular direction and his fists were clenched in fury.“I would be at my quarters”, Emily said as she bowed in respect and made to leave.“Wait!” Richard called out, causing her to stop right in her tracks.“You promised to sing for me, right?” He asked Emily, who gulped down hard while pretending to remember.“Well, I think so”, she said as anxiety started creeping in.“Can you do it now?” Richard asked Emily who suddenly started coughing.He chuckl

Richard walked into his company premises to meet Mike, who seemed to be waiting for him.“Good morning, sir”, Mike greeted, while Richard ignored him and walked straight into his office.A huge frown made its way to Mike’s face as he took in a deep breath while thinking of how to make him understand.“Firstly, I’m sorry”, Mike apologized the moment they got into Richard’s office.Richard sank into the chair and pulled out his laptop, still ignoring Mike and pretending as though he weren’t standing right at his front.“I only needed you to agree to attend the banquet”, Mike explained as he sighed tiredly and sat down.“And you thought that telling Barbara was the way out? As a matter of fact, that only made things worse because at this point, I’m not giving it a single thought”, Richard dropped, causing Mike to open his mouth in surprise.“Murray would be there. This is a chance to mingle and strike a business deal with him. I mean, it’s an opportunity that shows up once in a blue moon

“Oh my God! Look who we have here”, A lady shrieked in excitement the moment she caught a glimpse of Barbara and Richard, holding hands together and walking towards the exit of the building.Murmuring erupted while Richard sighted different people who took pictures of them. He was clearly exhausted, but as usual, he needed to show his smile and give the public the assurance that he was a happy man.“Let’s go”, Barbara said, while he suddenly stopped walking.“I thought the shoot was going to be somewhere around here”, Richard said as he shot her a dead glare, still smiling pretentiously.“Don’t be a fool!” Barbara whispered“This is not a photo studio. I only told you that my crew are here and ready for the shoot. I never mentioned that we were having it here”, she said and wrapped her hands around his, after which she laughed slightly as though he had just said something funny.“Now behave yourself and let’s go. Don’t create a scene, or it would be bad for you and your company”, Bar

“You both aren’t showing some sort of emotions. I need to see the spark, the spark of love”, the photographer said in frustration.Richard stayed still, staring at Barbara with a dead glare. On the other hand, Barbara kept stealing glances at the man who was at the far end of the studio.“You know what? This is not working! You both are not giving what I want”, the photographer said in frustration.“Think of your marriage, think of how your marriage is one that every couple wish for. That should be a thing of excitement, isn’t it? Now think of it and give me that spark!” The photographer said with a smile.“I beg of you to make use of another example”, Richard said defiantly and jerked up when Barbara gave him a pinch on his elbow.“I mean, another example won’t be bad”, he added with a softer tone.“Okay! How about this”, the photographer said as he took in a deep breath and drifted off in thoughts.“Think of your happiest moment in the last one week”, he said and immediately, everyw

Emily got off her bed and glanced at the clock to see that it was almost time to prepare dinner.Barbara never stated that she had to prepare the meals, as that wasn’t part of what her job entailed.However, she loved the fact that Richard couldn’t stop talking about the meal she had prepared for him the last time.This spurred her to personally include cooking in the list of things she was expected to do as a maid.She smiled and sauntered towards the main house and into the kitchen, going through her mind and trying to figure out what to prepare.The refrigerator was stocked up with every single thing and for a moment, Emily couldn’t help but wonder why there were so many things there which were hardly used by them.She made up her mind to prepare spaghetti and a tomato sauce which she had just learned how to prepare. She set to work as she placed a pot of fire, with the spaghetti placed inside of it.Emily started singing as she diced the tomatoes, sausages, onions and other veget
