Riley was fixing his tie when he saw his wife on the sofa at the living room, busy with paperworks as she typed on her laptop.
"Hey, why are you still working that much?" He kissed her temple.
"My resignation was denied, remember?" There was a hint of sarcasm in her voice, with a tinge of annoyance from being interrupted.
"Alright. Alright. Don't be mad. Just...don't overwork yourself. You have to take extra care now...for the baby...okay?" He wrapped an arm over her shoulders and continued to kiss her cheek.
"Hmmmn." She nodded as she continued typing. She might pretend not to heed his advice, but her face softened as she was reminded to take caution on her stress levels.
"Your boss is helpless, but he is a good man. This compromise of working from home is considerate enough."
He retracted his arm and gently stood up. "Well, mine is still MIA, so work has piled up. I need to go now." he declared.
