When Violet came to her room, she found that Greg had already retired for the day. Since her husband had not shown the decency of waiting for her Violet's anger knew no bounds.
She stormed towards his side of the bed and yanked his quilt with all her might. Sulking, she snapped at Greg, "Who gave you the permission to go to bed so early?"
"What's wrong with that? I have to go to work tomorrow. Besides, the earlier I go to sleep, the better it is for my health," Greg retorted casually, trying to feign a yawn which irked Violet.
"Then, sleep in the guest room. Don't take my bed," Violet seethed in anger, as she sat on the edge of the bed.

"Okay. I do not think I have much work to do in the company today. I will be there by 11:00 am," Lawrence replied immediately.
"Is everything okay in the company?" Jackson asked with concern.
"Yes. Every day I deal with some new things in the office," Lawrence answered curtly. He was telling the truth. So far, he hadn't met any problems ever since he had taken over the company. Even if he got into some trouble, he thought he would handle it properly.
"Good! Don't push yourself too hard," Cherry cut in. She was very concerned about her son.
After finishing the breakfast, Lawrence left home for his office.

As he drove the car he dialled her number.
