    “Larry, you should have some breakfast. Otherwise, your body won’t be able to function at its best,”

    Caspian reminded as he ced the food in front of him.


    It had been a few days since Larry had slept at home. He had resorted to taking naps in his office


    before waking up to continue with work.


    The issue at hand was far too tricky, and he barely had time for meals. If it weren’t for the reminders


    from Caspian and his assistant, he would have forgotten when to eat or when to knock off.


    “Take it away. I don’t have any appetite,” Larry muttered while rubbing his temples in a bid to make


    himself more awake.


    “Hey, you’ve been like this for days now. I’m worried about you.” Caspian looked at the other man in


    concern.


    “I’m fine. How’s the manufacturer’s daughter? Has shee back?” Larry asked. He had a n in


    mind and was counting on the woman to return to get it started.


    “No. But I heard her flight’s tomorrow.”


    Upon hearing that, relief washed over Larry. He was going to do everything within his power to get his


    biggest manufacturer back. After exchanging a few more words and again reminding Larry to take care


    of himself, Caspian left the office.


    Larry turned his gaze to his phone lying silently on the table. He picked it up and scrolled through, only


    to realize there were countless missed calls from Joan.


    An instant wave of guilt came over him as he thought about his family. He hadn’t been back in a while


    now, and he wondered how they were coping in his absence.


    After much hesitation, he finally decided to head home to check on them. It was the only way to put his


    mind at ease.


    “Good morning, Mr. Norton!”


    “Morning! Mr. Norton!”


    He had only just stepped out of the building when the employees of Norton Corporation started filing in


    one by one and greeting him enthusiastically.


    “Have you heard? Mrs. Norton was seen shopping with another man. I think they were shopping for


    children’s’ clothes… “


    “Seriously? I hope not. Mr. Norton has been toiling at work for his family. How could Mrs. Norton do


    something like this?”


    “Who knows. Sometimes when women get too lonely, they throw caution to the wind and… “


    Larry immediately stopped in his tracks when he heard his employees gossip among themselves.


    Joan, what have you done now? He raised his head to the sky, closed his eyes, and took in a deep


    breath.


    With everything happening at work and home, it was no surprise that Larry’s anxiety had gone through


    the roof. All he could do now was try to calm his nerves as he headed home to see his wife.


    Meanwhile, Joan was also tossing and turning in bed, too high-strung to fall asleep.


    Why hasn’t hee home? Why isn’t he picking up my calls? The more she thought, the more worried


    she grew. Is there so much to do at work that he just couldn’te home, not even for one night? But


    he has been busy before, and he still made it home, didn’t he?


    Or maybe…


    Joan’s eyes darkened as she thought of the worst-case scenario. Larry, if this is because there’s


    another woman, I’m not going to let you off! Rage boiled inside her as she clenched her fists tight.


    All of a sudden, she heard the door to their room open, causing her to sit up immediately.


    “You’re awake?” Larry asked after a simple greeting.


    He was so exhausted; all he wanted was to have a good sleep.


    “Why haven’t you been back in so many days? I’ve missed you to death,” Joan asked, her voice a little


    upset and whiny.


    Oh, she missed me? Is that why she went shopping with another man? Larry looked at his wife, his


    gaze a mix of sadness and exhaustion.


    “Larry, what’s wrong? Are you too tired?” Joan asked as she massaged his shoulders.


    “Yes, a little. I’m going to sleep for a bit.” With that, he got into bed and fell asleep.


    Seeing him in such an exhausted state broke Joan’s heart.


    What has happened to thepany? What could be so serious that he couldn’te home for days?


    If he wasn’t going to tell her, she was going to have to find out herself. With her mind made up, she


    took her phone and left the room to make a call.


    “Hello, Dustin? Has thepany run into some problems?” she asked anxiously.


    “Yes. A few manufacturers recently called it quits with Norton Corporation, including the biggest one


    that had the longest working rtionship with them. But don’t worry. Larry’s handling it. I’m sure he’ll


    resolve it soon.”
