"Are you sure you want to come with me to the office, Honey?

" Lucas asked, buttoning the sleeve of the blue shirt he was wearing, without turning his eyes to Ellena who was standing near the nightstand.

nEllena grabbed the bag without taking her eyes off Lucas. Her gaze was flat. Instantly her eyes narrowed, then she swung her leg toward Lucas.

nNow, Ellena was standing in front of Lucas, not immediately speaking, just responding. However, her gaze was still the same as if there was something odd about Lucas' question. Though maybe for Lucas it was just a simple question, which didn't have too serious meaning.

nLucas woke up. Instantly she stopped her activities and lifted her head, staring in wonder at the two eyes that were staring at him blankly.

n

"What happened to you?

" Lucas asked a little surprised.

n

"Why?

" Ellena replied a little sarcastically.

n

"What do you mean, why?

" Lucas spun around feeling weird.

n

"Why do you ask me that, huh? Didn't you really take me to your office?

" Ellena's sarcasm immediately showed a suspicious attitude.

n

"Gosh, I was just asking. Was that wrong?

" Lucas growled in frustration.

n

"Why does it have to be like that? Can't you just ask casually?

" Ellena was still displeased with the way Lucas asked, as if she objected to him coming to the office.

n

"Argh, I'm asking casually, Honey. What are you thinking? Am I wrong if I ask that?

" Lucas replied who felt there was nothing wrong with his question.

n

"Oh, I know. You must have another woman in the office!

" Ellena accused which suddenly made Lucas roll his eyes.

n

"What do you mean? Whose woman are you referring to, huh?

" Lucas said, objecting.

nOf course he didn't accept Ellena's accusations. In all his life he had never played with any woman, especially if he had to betray the woman he loved so much. Is his loyalty still in doubt? It really sucks.

n

"So while I'm not at home, you're having fun with other women? No wonder you didn't look for me!

" snapped Ellena as she looked away while crossing her arms over her chest.

n

"What are you talking about? I really don't understand, Elle!

" Lucas grunted as he pursed his lips.

nHow could Ellena accuse him like that, after all he had sacrificed for her? In fact, just because of a question, the matter became long like this.

n

"You admit it, Lucas, that you already have another woman besides me!

" Elena said emphatically.

n

"Woman, woman! What woman are you referring to, huh? How can you accuse me of such a thing, just because of my question. What does that have to do with it?

" said Lucas, still trying to defend himself.

nYes, why would he admit something he never did?

n

"Then why are you asking like that, as if you objected to me coming to the office, huh? Can't you see that I'm tidy like this? again?

" attack Ellena which managed to make Lucas even more frustrated.

n

"Argh, Ellena you've misunderstood me. That's not what I meant—

"

n

"Ah, never mind, Lucas! I don't need any more explanations from you!

" concluded Ellena while holding up one hand, as a sign that she no longer wanted to give Lucas a chance to explain.

n

"I didn't mean it like that, Honey … trust me,

" Lucas whispered pitifully. He was really frustrated to see Ellena's attitude suddenly changed like that.

n

"I don't think I'll be coming.

" Ellena replied as she turned and swayed, away from Lucas. She then put her bag back on the nightstand feeling full of disappointment.

n

"But why?

" Lucas started swinging his steps, approaching Ellena who was still standing with her back to him.

n

"I really didn't mean to not invite you. I just wanted to make sure, because I know that waiting for me is a very boring activity. I don't want to see you feel bored while waiting for me there.

" Lucas explained at length, hoping this time Ellena would understand with an explanation. from him.

nEllena sighed, then turned her body to face Lucas with the same look.

n

"Excuses!

" Ellena snapped, about to leave Lucas. However, Lucas swiftly grabbed his hand, forcing him to give up his intention.

nLucas snorted in annoyance, then ruffled his already neat hair.

"What other excuses do you mean, Honey? I'm telling the truth, true,

" Lucas said not wanting to lose.

n

"But men always have excuses!

" snapped Elena while smacking her hand. However, it didn't work to get her out of her husband's grip.

n

"Are you having Premenstrual Syndrome?

" Lucas squeaked looking at him curiously.

n

"What do you know about that, huh?

" Ellena retorted as if disparaging.

n

"Ah, Honey … you're very sensitive. I'm just asking. It doesn't mean anything,

" Lucas explained trying to restore his wife's mood by saying softly while holding the man's wrists. Staring at Ellena while developing a small smile on her face.

n

"What? You call me sensitive?

" Instead of feeling melted, Ellena just rolled her eyes, getting even more furious with Lucas' words.

nLucas reflexively hesitated with his mouth slightly open, as if he wanted to reply to Ellena's words, but he deliberately refrained from doing so. Somehow. What is clear is that he is so confused that he doesn't know how else to treat Ellena. Whatever he said, it was always wrong in his wife's eyes. It's a very annoying debate.

n

"I didn't mean to make fun of you, Honey. Th-that—

"

n

"You're so annoying, Lucas. I'm mad at you!

" snapped Ellena, frowning.

n

"Honey, look, what time is it?

" Lucas asked softly, pointing at the clock on the wall hanging in his room.

n

"Believe me, I never mind if you are willing to accompany me to work. Now, let's go!

" Lucas asked while looking at Ellena's sad face. Arguing in the morning makes the mood a little messy. However, he still didn't try to show it in front of Ellena.

n

"Aren't you lying?

" Ellena arched an eyebrow, looking at Lucas suspiciously.

n

"No, honey. I just love it when you're always by my side.

" Lucas replied with a smile, just trying to be reassuring.

n

"Is that true?

" Ellena confirmed again as if she still couldn't believe it. However, Lucas quickly responded by nodding his head repeatedly.

n***

nThe first time accompanying her husband, Ellena did not act much. She just waited for her husband to work, without asking much. Yes, the goal is just to be like that. Even Lucas was just focused on work, not paying much attention to it.

nNow Ellena is sitting on the sofa which is about 3 meters from Lucas' desk. Her fingers seemed to be dancing on the screen of the cellphone, as if she was typing something there. I don't know who she was texting with.

nMeanwhile, Lucas, who was busy checking reports, occasionally glanced at Ellen with a happy smile, although it didn't last long.

nThe sound of a knock on the door immediately echoed, filling the entire room measuring approximately 30 meters wide. Instantly Ellena and Lucas' attention was distracted. They looked at the door at the same time.

n

"Enter!

"

nLucas' scream instantly caught Ellena's attention.

nLooked at Lucas, then looked back as the door slowly opened.

nA woman, dressed in a red office suit, entered the room. Her long, white and smooth legs looked perfectly exposed, because the skirt she was wearing was too minimal. Not to mention the clothes that press the body, showing every curve of her body that looks sexy.

nFor a moment, Ellena's gaze focused on the woman who was walking in, approaching Lucas' desk without looking at her, even if she just smiled or said hello.

nThe woman was a complete stranger to Ellena who had worked in the office. Maybe the woman was a new employee there. However, that's not important.

nThe most important thing for Ellena is the charm and beauty of the woman who is perfect. She observed every curve of the sexy body that was now walking behind her. Ah, what an almost perfect masterpiece of God. Who is the man who dares to refuse to be the woman's partner? She thought only a crazy man would reject that sexy woman.

nRealizing what was on her mind, Ellena immediately rolled her eyes. If she as a woman is quite fascinated by seeing this woman, what about Lucas, who incidentally is a normal man?

nEllena immediately straightened herself, ignoring the device in her hand. Her gaze increasingly focused on Lucas who was sitting opposite the woman. Instantly her eyes narrowed, observing her husband's every move.

n

"Okay, your report is good, Grace.

" Lucas said, looking at the woman called Grace with his trademark smile, as soon as he checked a red-bound file that Grace handed him.

nLucas closed the cover of the file again and placed it on the right, side by side with the laptop in front of him.

n

"Thank you, sir,

" Grace replied softly, smiling.

nThe conversation between Lucas and Grace certainly didn't go unnoticed by Ellen. Ellena didn't even dare to blink an eye, because she didn't want to miss seeing every scene of Lucas and Grace at the desk.

n

"I'm proud to have an intelligent employee like you,

" said Lucas, who managed to make someone far away feel angry.

n

"Ah, thank you, Sir. You are praising me too much.

" Grace replied, looking embarrassed.

n

"Okay, you can go back to work.

" Lucas said in a very gentle and polite tone.

n

"Fine, Sir. I'm sorry.

" Grace replied, appearing to flash a sensual smile, as if she wanted to tease Lucas on purpose. Even more so when he got up from his seat slightly puffed his chest forward, right in front of Lucas.

nLucas immediately swallowed heavily when he noticed Grace's cleavage, while Ellena still didn't take her eyes off the two of them.

nGrace turned around and immediately took a relaxed and determined step, like a top model swinging her legs on catwork.

n'Oh, apparently this is the reason Lucas seems to object to me coming here!' Ellena muttered in her heart
