Chapter 632 - 14.28
Clarke was busy again with his job today. He woke up early after spending the whole night fighting against a supervillain.
He defeated that supervillain but could not catch her because she escaped right before Clarke could reach her.
Clarke returned at midnight with a bruised body and exhausted mental strength. So Gaius said nothing when he just slumped on the bed, still with his Superbman suit.
In the morning, though, Clarke readied himself for work, and Gaius tried to stop him, "Husband, you should take a rest. Just one day is okay, right? You can sit with me and read some books, or watch some soap operas. Or maybe you want me to cook something good for our brunch?"
"No, I can’t do that, Wife," Clarke refused as he checked his watch and fixed his ties on the mirror. He didn’t even look at his wife, only busy with the phone.
"Why not? You’re the CEO... of course. You can just tell the manager to handle the company, right? Just for one day...."
"No, I can’t," Clarke denied the second time. He read the chat from his staff on his new phone. "There is a meeting with the investors today. I can’t miss it. It’s crucial for the company. Besides, we can always do that menial task in the evening, right?"
"But..." Gaius wanted to protest since there was something that Clarke needed to know. But his Husband said there was an important meeting that couldn’t be skipped. "Okay, then, Husband, have a good day at work and good luck."
Clarke smiled and kissed Gaius’ forehead, "Then I’ll be leaving now, see you later, Wife."
...
Gaius sighed as he escorted his Husband to the front door and saw him leaving their apartment. He turned around and saw Hermes ready with his school bag.
