You opened the door without thinking.
intending to drop off some paperwork. Taro forget them this morning.
but as soon as you stepped inside, you realized your mistake.
he was in the middle of a meeting.
"oh, I'm so sorry!" You say, feeling your cheeks get warm.
but just as you began to turn away, you heard a remark from one of the men at the table.
"what, did you wander into the wrong office?"
a few people chuckled, and you felt a sting of embarrassment.
but before you could say anything…
Your husband's voice cut through the noise, calm but sharp.
"actually," he said, fixing the man with a pointed stare, "that's my wife."
the room fell silent. every eye turned back to him in shock.
he slowly stands up, with a calm voice he says. "anyone who dares to speak against my wife again will face consequences."
