- Sorry for any mistakes - A/N -

     After the blackness of night, the earth's star rises on the horizon, spreading it's golden rays in every direction, even through our laced curtains which flowed with the chilly breeze that had enter through our opened window.
      " Urg, " I groaned taking a pillow and covering my face from the sun beams. I sigh happily and was about to plunge back into a slumber before the pillow was plucked from my grip. My eyes flicked open catching a sight of Aiden; who stood at the end of our bed with his dress shirt unbutton.
     " Why you do that? " I grumbled.
He removes the covers off of me. " I wanted you to come to work with me today, bunny. "
     " I had other plans though. "
     " What, with who? "
I pushed myself up in the bed and rubbed the crust from my eyes.
    " I promised to hang with my mom today. " I said stepping out of the bed and towards our wardrobe. Aiden stalks behind me and grasp ahold of my upper arm. He frowns down at me.
    " What have I told you about that woman, " He says annoyed.
    " What do you mean? " I asked confusingly.
    " That woman has been trying to ruin our marriage from the start, " he seethed.
I rubbed my forehead, " Listen, I will go with you today but I will rearrange a time where I can spend time with my mother. "
His atmosphere lightens up fairly, " Fine. "
I shuffled through the racks of cloths. I slipped on a white dotted blouse that frilled at the wrist and I tugged on a black pair of high waisted pants; I tucked the end of the shirt into my pants and threw on a pair of black flats.
Bolting into the bathroom, I playfully shoved Aiden away from the mirror.
" Move, " I joked grabbing the hairbrush and brushed my hair. Aiden's hands comes into contact with my butt, leaving a tingling pain. I gave him a jokingly glare before walking out of the bathroom and into the garage. I reached my hand out and opened the car door, then plumping myself into the comfort of the leather seat. Aiden secures himself into his seat before we headed off.

Muffle chatting could be overheard behind the conference hall door. The chatting hushed when we set foot in the room. I scan the name tags, taken a note that I wouldn't be able to sit beside Aiden. I elbowed him, " I'll be sitting over there. " I informed him as I pointed at a seat that was parallel to a man who seemed to be in his mid 30s. Aiden's scours for his name tag before lowering himself to be alined with my ear.
" I could make arranges for you, " He whispers to me.
I shook my head, " I will be fine. "
" But- "
" I said will be fine, Aiden. "
I took my seat beside the older man, he smiles at me. I smiled back and sat my purse down onto the ground. Being the klutz I am, I accidently whacked my head against the man's chair.
" Are you alright ma'am. " The man asked inspecting the spot I hit with his hand. I chuckle sheepishly.
" Yeah I'm fine. " I assured him.
" Henry Lamper, " The man now known as Henry introduced himself.
" Adaline-" I was cut short with a loud bang. Everyone jerked their eyes over to where the bang was emitted. Aiden stared at me with displeasure.
" Well what are we waiting for, let's get started with the conference. " Aiden irked.
The conference starts and they discuss the topic of collabing their businesses together.
" How will this benefit either us, Mr.Favors? " Aiden asked looking with lack of interest.
" You will get part of the profit, Mr.King, " Mr. Favors concluded, " It will also help my business sells rise. "
They continued to discuss until the man began to aggravate Aiden.
" Mr.Favors, you are trying my patience. " Aiden seethes with his finger kneading at his creased forehead.
" I apologize sir. " The man backs down.
" Wanna grab some coffee after this? " Henry asked in a hushed tone.
" My wife will not be accompanying you Mr.Lamper, " Aiden snapped, making sure to emphasize on the words " my wife ".
Aiden inhales and exhales before cutting his eyes at Mr.Favors.
" I am uninterested in your deal, " Aiden tells the man. The man goes to argue back but Aiden snaps back.
" You better consider self lucky to receive any of time."
