Mia seemed distant while eating her meal.
Andre willingly offered to serve her food, but she seemed to pay no attention.
"What's on your mind?" he asked.
Mia replied, "I'm worried that if I tell you, you'll be upset."
Respectfully, Andre did not press further.
After lunch, Andre poured a glass of water for his wife. "Did you bring any painkillers?" he asked.
Mia shook her head.
Understanding, Andre pointed to his office, "You go rest, I'll go get you some medicine."
"It’s okay. It doesn’t hurt anymore." Mia said.
Andre didn't seem quite convinced.
Mia explained, "My menstrual cramps are usually the worst on the first day, it gets better after that." If the pain was unbearable for a whole week, she would lose all enthusiasm for life.
Having looked at her face, Andre chose to believe her for now.
"You should rest too." Mia said. "You've been taking care of me all night and came straight to work in the morning. You'll wear yourself out at this rate."
Andre saw the concern in her eyes. He glanced at his office, "I'll rest in a bit..."
"Not in a bit, now!" Mia insisted.
She stepped forward, taking Andre by the hand and leading him to his office.
Andre gave a helpless smile, "Alright, I'll join you for a rest."
They arrived at the office and saw a large bed, next to which was a door leading to the bathroom.
Mia took a look at the black sheets and gave a dissatisfied huff.
Andre looked at her, "You don't like them?"
Mia said, "Even my grandpa's sheets have more character than yours."
Andre: "...are you questioning my taste?"
Mia shook her head.
"I think your life is too monotonous." Mia added, "Anyway, let's rest."
She took off her shoes and sat on the edge of the bed, hesitatingly asked, "Which side should I sleep on?"
Andre said, "Whichever you like."
He walked to the door and took off his coat.
He hung his suit on the hanger and loosened his tie.
Suddenly, Mia came over.
She muttered, "Your suit will wrinkle if you hang it like this. Let me help you."
She picked up his suit, carefully brushing off the dust. "Such a nice suit, you can't just treat it so casually."
Watching her back, Andre felt a sense of joy.
After hanging up the suit, Mia picked up his tie and said, "You should hang it up. If you leave it on the table, it'll crease over time."
Suddenly, Andre reached out, grabbed her hand, and pulled her in front of him.
"You're so considerate? How about you take care of all my clothes and ties from now on, would that be okay?"
Mia immediately shook her head, "No."
Before she could explain her refusal, he cut her off with a single sentence. "I'll pay you."
"Okay!" Mia immediately swallowed her words and wisely nodded.
Mr. Cedillo smiled, gently ruffling the girl's hair.
After Mia got into bed.
"Darling, your bed is a bit hard."
"Darling, your pillow is also pretty hard."
"Darling, can you close the curtains?"
"Darling, the AC is a bit too cold."
