"Why can't you do it? Don't you see I'm doing something right now?"
Jackson had just asked Vanessa if he could go to the store and pick up some groceries.
"I have to go to work."
"Okay and I'm working right now, so on your way home from work, how about you pick up the groceries you so desperately need." Vanessa rolled her eyes and went back to running her online business.
"Why do you have to be so difficult?" Jackson mumbled under his breath.
"Why do you have to be so lazy? I'm not your errand boy, Jackson."
Jackson left out her office without saying another word and headed to his daughter's room. He peeked in her crib and seen she was sleeping peacefully.
He made his way out and left out the house without saying goodbye. On his way to work, he picked up a coffee from a local coffee shop and one of the baristas approached him.
"Excuse me?"
"Yes?" He answered while taking a sip of his coffee.
"I couldn't help, but notice you sitting here all alone. Do you mind if I join you?"
"Yes, I do mind." He excused himself and left out the cafe. He didn't always get along with Vanessa, but he was loyal to her and only her.
When he entered his office building, which he was the CEO of, he was greeted by many of the workers. He took the elevator to the top floor, where his office was, and when he entered he was greeted by Stephanie Rayvon.
"Mr. Wang, I've been waiting for you." She said in her British accent.
"I see," He walked behind his desk and took a seat, "What can I help you with?"
"This week, there's a charity event going on at my house and I wanted you and your team to attend, considering you guys are the highest paying company to donate to any charity."
"What is your charity?"
"Animal Welfare Institute. I really hope you come to support us."
"I will talk to the others and I'll let you know."
She smiled and gave him a seductive smile before leaving out his office, making sure to switch harder than usual.
Jackson called in the other members of his team into his office to discuss the charity and other business.
"Jackson." Mark Tuan, Jackson's right hand man in the business and his best friend, walked in followed behind Jinyoung Park and Youngjae Choi.
"What's going on?" Jinyoung spoke as they all took a seat.
"Stephanie Rayvon stopped by just now."
"Ugh, What did that British bitch want?" Youngjae groaned.
"Did she offer to have sex with you if you donated money?" Mark asked.
"Not exactly. She wants us to come to a charity event she's hosting this week."
"What's the charity? To help bitches like her trap wealthy men like us?" Youngjae spoke.
"I think we should go, just to see what she's really about." Jinyoung mentioned.
"No bad idea. What if she tries to drug one of us or all of us." Mark said gasping.
"I highly doubt she would do that, considering it's such a public event."
"But what if she's thinking like that? She knows that we think that she won't do it in a public area and then boom, she does it and we won't even expect it."
The three men eyed Mark with a confused look on their face.
"What?"
"Anyway, we're going. We're gonna make a quick appearance, see what the charity is all about, make sure its legit, maybe make a small donation, and then head out." Jinyoung explained.
"I agree." Jackson said and Youngjae nodded.
"You guys are setting us up for death." Mark sighed.
They all ignored him, "make sure you guys bring your wives or in Mark's case, bring whatever Hoe you're fucking at the moment."
"Hey, they are not hoes, they are women who just so happens to have sexual relations with a lot of men."
"Please get out of my office."
The guys left, leaving Jackson alone in his office to finish up some work.

Later on that day

"The plus size booty shorts should be restocked on the website, yet it still says out of stock, so please explain to me why that is?" Vanessa yelled at the phone.
Jackson had just arrived home a few minutes ago and was expecting food on the table, but obviously that wasn't the case.
"Just fix it!" She yelled before hanging up.
"Jesus Christ, these fucking people." She sat on the bed and ran her hands through her hair.
Jackson laid on his stomach, on the ground, playing with their daughter, Luna.
"Guess who stopped by the office?"
"Mhm?"
"Stephanie Rayvon."
"Ew, I hate her."
"Everyone knows."
"What did she want?" She asked as she slid on the floor to grab their daughter who started to whine.
"She said there's a charity event at her house this week and she wanted me and they guys to attend."
"For what? So she could seduce and trap you?"
"Why does everyone think that?" He mumbled to himself.
"I'm going with you."
"I know."
She smiled, but quickly got rid of it.
They sat in silence for a few minutes, the only sound was the little ones coming from Luna.
"I'm going to go shower." Jackson got up and headed into the bathroom.
Vanessa got off the floor and laid on the bed with Luna. She turned on the tv to Spongebob and let it play in the background.
"Luna baby, you're so cute. You definitely are mommy's child."
She played with her cheeks as Luna laughed at her.
"I can't believe two crazy people like me and your daddy made such a sweet girl like you."
Luna was only 6 months old, but she understood everything going on around her. She knew when something was wrong between her parents.
"I can believe it," Vanessa turned around to the sound of Jackson's voice, "she's the good that balances us out."
Vanessa eyed Jackson up and down, in awe that she married a man that was so beautiful.
She continued talking to Luna, acting like Jackson wasn't even there, "Even though I don't always like daddy, I love him with all my heart. I may not show it as much as I need to, but it's true."
Jackson crawled in bed, behind Vanessa, cuddling against her.
"Daddy loves mommy too."
Vanessa smiled, "you forgot to pick up the groceries, didn't you?"
"I did," Jackson chuckled, "that's why I need you to do it."
"I'll get in the morning."
They ended the night in each other's arms, for the first time in forever.
