Mr. Louis can’t just take all the prime spots.” Leopold nodded slightly, seeming reasonable.
She blinked, a smirk tugging at the corner of her lips, “I plan to start working from home tomorrow, and return to the office in two weeks.” Leopold rubbed his forehead, “You're such a dedicated employee, but you're nothing like a traditional housewife!” Aurelia scoffed inwardly.
