Both of them silently drank their tea. Charlotte felt Édouard's gaze all the time, so she avoided looking at him all the time. He had sent Zoe out of the room as he wanted to be alone with his wife.
Charlotte looked at the time on the wall clock by raising her head and saw it was already past nine-thirty. "Do you not want to go to work?" She asked and put the cup on the saucer as she had finished the tea.
"I took a day off," Édouard replied and leaned forward to place the cup on the table.
"Why?" Charlotte suspiciously asked.
"I thought to spend time with my wife," Édouard stated with an amused expression on his face.
"Isn't your work more important to you? Zoe has told me how you always prioritize your work," Charlotte said.
"That was before I did not get married. Now, it is different. I have to give as much time as I can to my wife," Édouard stated.
