Maria's Pov

- Stop eating like pig!– my husband Kai insulted me again.

- Close your beak! – I shouted back without looking at him.

- You may need an incentive, huh? Wanna bring you the „archive"? - He stated to annoy me. Back then before we met I was a chubby girl.

- Don't bother, because my slap is on your neck! – I mocked because I can't stand fighting him for nothing. Soon after the marriage, he transformed into a vulgar and careless idiot.

- And the extra weight is on your ass – he continued to tease me - And besides that you aren't the most nimble person. - He laughed like a peasant.

No one's Pov

She paused and continued to eat the dry, oily pizza in front of her, her legs stretched on the coffee table in the living room, surrounded by cans of coca-cola ...and the remote in her lap. Maria and Kai were on the verge of divorce. His behavior towards her was disgusting from already a year as he continuously demonstrated his nonchalance and how pompous he was.

At first she was very shocked by his change but by the time she learned to ignore his unpleasant character. The thing that hurt her the most was that Kai's bad side surfaced thanks to his affair...

„Sh*t happens all the time even in the best families..." Suho – her only best friend always calmed her down and soothed her heart, reassuring her that there were other people in this situation. She tried to avoid Kai's insolent attitude by working overtime.

Maria's Pov

- Miss Maria Kim, although you recently work quite a lot you still cannot manage to finish your tasks. - The art director of the studio has summoned me to his office – Your works are still good but not as good as before. If there is a problem that hinders the work or you need a break, we will provide it. However, we have many trainees to exploit.

- Sir, I have no problem ... just ... – I paused and totally got worried - ... a creative crisis. - I smiled slightly - I don't need a rest, quite the contrary. I want to do as many things as I can, but if you want to dismiss me, tell me straight. – I couldn't resist and told him bluntly.

- Oh, no. I hadn't this in mind, Maria. – he immediately countered and slightly stood up from the chair - I wanted to say that I will give you a rest, and during that time will let a trainee to run the routine tasks as printing of posters or the setting of the systems.

- Oh ... – I definitely was relieved - I thought ——

- Don't even try to think. – he wiggled his eyebrows and rubbed his hands.

- Okay. - I flashed him a fake smile, all I wanted was to walk away and drink a cup of hot black coffee, not continue to listen to this ajusshi.

- You have great potential and we won't dismiss you ... soon. – he assured again and leaned back in his chair - I have a business trip soon. Until then, take a rest and after that you'll be in charge of negotiating with customers' sessions and not only to arrange meetings and photos as it was until now. - he smiled politely and took a folder on his desk - Now go, finish you tasks for today, go to Su Ji of the front office to inform her for your holiday. - "Will he ever stop talking?"
