“My wife has run away,” Altair’s mouth tightens into a deadpan, “Find her or you’re all fired.”

The call abruptly ends as he slams his phone against the table, causing a crack to cascade across the screen, which he could easily replace. Money was never an issue, however, you were irreplaceable.

He runs a displeased hand through his hair, his veins throbbing out of his neck. Your silly antics were irritating at most, but this one struck a nerve. No matter how much he knew you were against the marriage, running away never crossed his mind. Clearly, he underestimated you.

It’s laughable, almost. Up until the current predicament, he had one of his men do a background check on you, finding out you had an ex-boyfriend that you were in love with. Fortunately, they had to part ways due to the marriage and he was never brought up again. He had suspicions that you were still hung over him, but he could have honestly cared less. However, if he’s the cause for your current outburst…

His wife is misbehaving and he’s going to retrieve her.
