"Did you eat already? " Apollo asked her.

"I'm already hungry waiting for you," she replied.

"I'm full."

"Where did you have dinner?"

"I ordered at the canteen. It's been a while, but I seem to have lost my appetite. I'm so pissed off. "

The next day, Avery was able to tell Apollo that she wanted to find a job. He seemed to be waking up beautifully because he was still whispering in front of the mirror while putting on his tie. She picked up the shoes he was going to wear. And though it was clean, it was made even more polished by the rag he was holding.

"I'm getting bored here at home." as if nothing of my own words.

"You rent a lot of DVD tapes, so you can do something here," Apollo replied.

"You know, I'm not very fond of watching television."

"Your boredom will go away when we have children. Don't worry when I'm healed, I make it in a hurry so we can have a child. "

I no longer contradicted what Apollo said. Instead, she said,

"What if I look for a job first while we don't have children?"

Apollo was stunned and without a smile, glanced at her.

"And what are you going to do? You didn't finish college?"

"I can get a certificate that will prove that I am a graduate of a nursing course. Even if it's just a part-time job, Apollo. I can't neglect my jobs at home. "

"It's up to you," Apollo said, indifferently facing the mirror.

It was early in the morning when Apollo came home that night. There is a certain thing that she thinks when around three o'clock he hadn't come home yet. It was four o'clock when he arrived.

"What happened? Why did you just go home now? " she asked him when she approach him at the door.

"Mr. Andrews has made us work a lot again. There are as many jobs unexpected came. I don't have any sleep."

"How many of you are there? "

"We're three programmers and three operators." Apollo continued towards the room as if avoiding my question.

I don’t think he looks like an overworked person. He was not tired and sleepy. It was like being relaxed and fully rested. And it was like he was just taking a bath, and she could even smell a kind of scent that seemed to come from soap when he passed again in front of her.

Avery's woman's intuition is working again and knows he has a woman again. She followed Apollo into the room. He took off his polo shirt and was still wearing his pants and socks lying on the bed. She picked up the polo that he had just thrown on the side of the bed.

"I'll just rest for a while. I'll shower later," he said.

"What time will I wake you up?"

"Even around seven o'clock." Apollo turned to lie down and hugged a pillow.

Avery left the room afterward. It was as if Apollo was just asleep at seven o'clock. She felt sorry for him that she woke up when he got a short sleep. Maybe he can be a little late if he works so hard. Although Mr. Andrews is strict, maybe he would probably let his employee rest a little. She covered the food on the table and started washing Apollo's dirty clothes. And when she scan his new dirty polo, she was stunned. There is a reddish part opposite one shoulder of the polo. It's like a lipstick mark that she's not sure about. When she took a closer look, it was lipstick, and the shape of the user's lip was still slightly firm.

She feels not surprised anymore. No more pain compared to the early days when she discovered Apollo’s deception. She was so disappointed because he convinced her that he was from work.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" Apollo asked her loudly.

"It's like you're still asleep. Maybe you can also be late at least once if you work overtime all night," she said, smirking.

"Don't interfere with my time management. Now Mr. Andrews will scold me again." annoyed, he said to her as he turned to go to the bathroom.

Avery started looking for wanted nursing services. On one occasion, she even went to see an advertiser, but she did not continue to work because the salary was small, but there was a lot of work. In the days that followed, Apollo was not interested in sleeping with her, so she doubted he had a woman because he sees that she was afraid to approach him.

She is also used to his irregular hours in coming home. That will always be his excuse that he got overtime by Mr. Andrews.

"It's Mr. Andrews' birthday this week," said Apollo one day while they were having breakfast.

"How old is he?"

"Thirty-three."

He is still young. She thought he was in his forties or something when Apollo told her about him.

"He's very demanding," Apollo said again, with a sudden look on his face.

"Why?"

"What he wants is for us to bring the family to his party."

"And you don't want to bring me?"

"No. It's just that you're not used to such parties. Then my colleagues were crazy. You might believe what they say. It's a trend among us that when they see a wife, they're joking about something that is not true.

"For example, what? I want to know so I can be prepared just in case. "

"For example, women are the ones they like to tease with wives." She nodded.

"You want to come with me?"

"If you want me to come, if you're not, just make excuses. "

"No, you can come with me. "

It was as if Apollo was just being forced to take her to the party. If compared to before, she would activate her pride, she would just force herself to stay at home when she felt like Apollo didn’t want to include her. But this time she deliberately ignored the embarrassment. She feels like she can discover something by joining Apollo. And she also wants to see Mr. Andrews in person who always does overtime for Apollo.

Instead of buying new clothes with the money Apollo gave her, she just rushed to sew at a shop near the market. She prefers to sew than to buy because it is comfortable and she wants the contour to be followed in such a dress. What made the dress beautiful was the slight sheen of the baby blue fabric with pink rose embroidery on the side. And she bought some flat black shoes also. Apollo doesn't want her to wear high heels so that we are the same height because Apollo is not tall.

On that day, she redeemed my sewing and also got a manicure near the shop. She rarely does this kind of thing. Even if Apollo doesn't seem to want to take her to his boss's party, she will show him that he won't be embarrassed when he introduces her to his colleagues.
