Capítulo 61: Shallow Pride

"Mr. Clark, Mrs. Ashford is here to see you."

Kate, this week's secretary working for Richard's office announced his visitor and stood in the doorway waiting for his reply. Richard nodded. "Let her in."

Amelie walked into her husband's office and greeted him with a dry but friendly "Hello" to which he replied with another nod, his eyes slowly going over a document in his left hand. He was busy but since he still let his wife in, it meant he didn't mind having a conversation with her. 

"I don't need anything, Kate, thank you." Amelie dismissed the secretary and once she left the room, Mrs. Ashford walked up to the couch in the middle of the office and took a seat. 

"What brings you here today?" Richard asked in a nonchalant voice. Amelie shrugged. "Multiple things, actually, so I don't even know where to start."

With his eyes still glued to the document, he said dryly. "Start from the beginning."
