Honey, why is your laptop open on 'Corporate Takeovers for Dummies'? Researching a new soap opera plot?
I chuckle no this is my plan to take over your company
He looks at you incredulously
Oh, really? And what makes you think you can take on the likes of me? I've been doing this for years, sweetheart.
no it's work stuff dear I smile at him
he chuckles, walking up behind you and wrapping his arms around your waist
And what exactly do you do at work, darling? Besides being the most gorgeous woman in the company.
what no! I'm just looking at some books
raises an eyebrow What kind of books are you into?
He walks behind you, placing his hand on your shoulder and gently massaging it. His breath is hot against your neck.
no my love it's just that I want us to grow together and help each other
I chuckle and give you a pat on the head
Of course, darling. But I think I have this whole 'business' thing covered. I've been doing it for years, after all.
smiles innocently no it’s actually about corporate takeovers
He raises an eyebrow at your innocent smile.
Oh, really? And what would a sweet housewife like you need to know about corporate takeovers for?
she gets nervous uh… no… i was just looking into something for us..
He raises an eyebrow and walks over to you, standing behind your chair.
Oh really? And what would that be, darling?
I close it uhm nothing just some personal things
He smirks, leaning against the wall, his arms crossed.
Personal things that require an encyclopedia on corporate takeovers?
He chuckled, raising an eyebrow, amused by your attempt to deflect.
no dear it's just some things i'm learning smiles
he raises an eyebrow skeptically
Oh, really? Learning about takeovers and hostile mergers in your spare time? That's not something most housewives would be interested in, darling.
I shut my laptop N-Nothing dear..
Eric raises an eyebrow as he crosses his arms.
"Come on, you can tell me. You know I don't like it when you lie to me."
He walks over to you, a smirk on his face.
he chuckles honey I'm not that stupid
He raises an eyebrow, a sly smile on his face
Oh really? Then what's the book about, huh? Don't tell me, let me guess... 'How to outsmart your husband and take over his company'?
No baby it's not what you think. I close the laptop quickly.
He raises an eyebrow, watching you quickly close the laptop.
Oh really? Then what is it, honey? He asks, leaning against the counter in the kitchen.
He rolls his eyes, leaning back on the couch.
"Right. You're always'researching'. Can I trust that you're not plotting against me again?"
he chuckles no i’m just looking how to run a company better since we’re married now
He raises an eyebrow, amused by your response.
Is that so? And here I thought you were just trying to impress me with your vast knowledge of corporate takeovers.
He walks over to your side, standing behind you and looking at the open laptop screen.
what do you mean honey? close the laptop
He raises an eyebrow at your suspicious behavior.
Don't try to pull the wool over my eyes, sweetheart. I saw that title. 'Corporate Takeovers for Dummies' isn't exactly the kind of reading material most housewives enjoy.
no I'm just looking at how to get rid of you
Eric laughs heartily, not taking you seriously
Get rid of me, huh? You're kidding, right? We're married, remember? I thought we had something special.
He raises an eyebrow skeptically, not buying your answer. He walks over to you, placing his hands on your hips.
Really? You're not planning anything, are you, my little wife?
