The man held the distracted woman in his arms.
He tossed a pillow to the foot of the bed and used his own arm as a pillow for her. "Sleep," he said.
"Okay." Mia was now resting on the most expensive "pillow".
But it was uncomfortable that she was hugged again.
Mia looked up at her husband, who was already closing his eyes to rest. She puckered her lips wanting to say something, but swallowed it back.
She had slept too much in the morning, and now she didn't feel sleepy at all.
Andre, on the other hand, was breathing evenly.
After a while, a soft voice called out, "Honey, are you asleep?"
"What is it?"
Mia apologized in his arms, "I'm sorry, I did something wrong."
The man, who was pretending to be asleep, suddenly opened his eyes. He looked at the woman in his arms and asked anxiously, "What did you do?"
"Actually, when I came up earlier, I didn't take the elevator. I sneaked into your private elevator." Her voice grew quieter towards the end.
The room fell silent for a moment.
Mia tensed up, waiting for her husband's criticism.
Unexpectedly, the man spoke, but not to criticize. Instead, he retorted, "Why did you tell me the truth?"
Mia clutched her chest and said, "Because lying to you makes me feel bad."
As her words fell, she heard laughter from above her head.
He didn't blame his wife, but was more attracted to her.
"It's okay, sweetheart."
In the dimly lit room, Andre's hand touched his wife's cheek, he bent down and kissed her hair, "It's really okay."
Mia asked, "Are you angry?"
Andre replied, "No."
She looked up, even though she couldn't see her husband's face clearly, she still looked at him. "I lied to you."
"I know."
Mia didn't know what to say anymore. She lowered her head and slowly moved into her husband's arms under the covers.
Andre also turned to embrace his wife, a smile on his lips.
After a while, when Mia woke up, she was completely disoriented.
The curtains were drawn, she didn't know the exact time, looked at her phone and found it was three in the afternoon, then she was relieved.
"If I had slept until eight or nine in the evening, I would have been so embarrassed."
She got out of bed, put on her shoes and tidied up the room.
Before leaving, she turned down the air conditioning and pulled back the curtains.
As she left, she saw Andre losing his temper.
"You're trying to fool me with this data? If you can't do it, step aside."
Mia stood to one side watching him getting really angry.
In front of Andre was a middle-aged man, who looked honest and simple, now he was standing still, not daring to move or speak.
He was afraid of Andre, very afraid.
