Everyone was surprised at what Tanaga did and was left speechless. Ashley, especially, had been left with her mouth wide open. When Ashley came back to her senses, she quickly stood up to chase after her husband because she knew he was mad.
Ashley managed to catch up to Tanaga and saw him brushing his teeth. From the way he was brushing his teeth, Ashley knew that his head had melted down. She didn't know whether to enter the bathroom to brush her teeth or wait for him to finish.
But when she looked at the clock and saw that they would be late, she built her courage and entered the bathroom. While walking behind Tanaga, she saw him stop brushing his teeth and glared at her.
She ignored him and proceeded to the other sink and grabbed her own toothbrush to apply toothpaste to it. When she was about to reach for the toothpaste that Tanaga was using, she was surprised when Tanaga grabbed her arm and forcefully pulled her towards him.
Because Ashley was surprised, she went out of balance and crashed directly into her husband's chest. Fortunately, she hadn't yet applied lipstick to her lips, since if she had he would have had a large stain on his pure white polo shirt.
Tanaga first fixed her and raised her face to face him. "Mrs. Jones, tell me… do you love me or not?" Tanaga used a loud voice while staring deeply into Ashley's eyes…
Ashley couldn't answer the question of her husband, and she was looking at his red lips with eyes full of affection.
Instead of answering, it was like a magnet pulling her lips closer to Tanaga's own lips. It was like both of the lips are meant for each other. Slowly, her lips overlapped with Tanaga's. It was at first light, but it gradually grew in intensity.
This was her answer to Tanaga's question, and this answer was also what Tanaga needed. She didn't need to utter any words; Tanaga felt all of Ashley's feelings through his lips.
Their kissing lasted for a few moments before Tanaga pulled his lips away. He heard Ashley m.o.a.n. "Mhm, don't stop," Ashley said while looking straight at Tanaga's eyes, Ashley's own eyes were like a puppy pleading for treats.
"Love, if we do not stop…. I don't know if I can still hold back. You know, it's hard because you can't..." Then Tanaga separated his body from his wife and put some distance between them.
When the two distanced themselves, Ashley couldn't look straight at her husband. She didn't know what she was supposed to do. She just decided to return to brushing her teeth so that she could hide her embarrassment at what she had done.
"It would be better if you prepare now 'cause we will be late. I understand your worries, and I will explain it to Grandma, okay?" Tanaga then went out of the bathroom so that he could fix himself before they went downstairs to prepare to leave.
When the whole family saw that the married couple had already made up and that Tanaga was once again smiling when he went downstairs, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and they all returned to whatever they were doing.

When the married couple reached the office, Sato and Fumika were silent. They quickly stood up and greeted their two bosses when they saw them entering.
"Good morning Sir Jones, Madam Ashley!" Sato greeted before bowing like usual, as a form of respect to their two bosses. Fumika also did the same thing.
When they finished showing their respect, Sato immediately approached Ashley and whispered so that Tanaga couldn't hear while entering the inside of the office.
"Ma'am, there is a person waiting in the office. You know who it is… I can't stop him from entering," Sato whispered while looking at Tanaga's back. There was a tint of worry in Sato's face.
Fumika opened the door for the two to enter while Sato was following closely, yet he was gritting his teeth due to nervousness.
Tanaga's face suddenly distorted when he saw who was waiting for them in the office. His face looked like a demon who had emerged from hell itself because of his fury. He stopped himself at the entrance.
"What the f*ck are you doing here? Who let this b*tch enter the office?!" Tanaga shouted. He was so loud that the veins on his head and neck were almost visible.
"S-sir Jones… I d-didn't have a choice since she suddenly entered, and she refused to leave. I'm really sorry Sir Jones," Sato pleaded while his head was lowered and was trembling in fear.
Ashley whispered to Sato, "All right you can leave, and we will take care of things here." Then he grabbed Tanaga's arm and whispered to his ears. "If you don't want to face her, let me do it. Why don't you go where Manager Hoshi is, and I'll just call you when she leaves?" Ashley gently persuaded Tanaga. Her low voice meant that the unwanted visitor didn't hear her.
Tanaga, who at first had smoke coming from his head because of his anger, calmed down when he heard the soothing voice of his wife. "Thank you, it would be better if you will be the one to face her. I might just send someone on an earlier schedule to meet with Satan itself." After that, he kissed Ashley before turning around and leaving.
When the unwanted guest saw that Tanaga was leaving, she quickly stood up and chased after him. "Tan, sweetheart! Please, talk to me… I have an important thing that you need to know. Please!!!" Ohani Yamaguchi shouted while chasing after Tanaga who didn't even look at her. He continued walking straight, completely ignoring her.
Ashley quickly stopped Ohani on her tracks. "Miss Yamaguchi, please if you have any business with my husband, you can talk to me. As you can see, he refuses to see that face of yours," Ashley sternly declared.
