"What is it Donald?" he asked, his face wrinkled in a frown.

He rounded the table and came up with his tablet in hand. He flipped open his screen, and with a few clicks, revealed a news article with his name on it.

"BUSINESS MOGUL AND BILLIONAIRE, MICHAEL WHEELER CAUGHT INTERLOCKED IN A PASSIONATE EMBRACE IN A PUBLIC RESTAURANT WITH A MYSTERY WOMAN WHO ISN'THIS WIFE."

"What reporter posted this?" he asked, slamming his palms onto the desk causing the objects on the desk to rattle due to the force. Donald took a step back in fear.

She had tiptoed out of bed in the wee hours of the morning, making sure to confirm that the house was eerily quiet before making her way down the stairs to the laundry room where she rallied her mop bucket and cleaning detergents to get to cleaning."What are you doing this late, Alina?"She jerked which caused her grip on the bucket to loosen causing the bucket to fall with a loud clang onto the floor."You startled me!" she cried placing a hand over her chest to still her heart."You're the one sneaking around the house trying to clean at

She had eventually given the woman the day off, looking at how frantic and guilty she looked when she hurried to the kitchen apologizing for oversleeping.
