Daniel West quickly explained to Ronnie about his schedule for the day while he was having his breakfast .
Ronnie then turned towards the head butler standing on his left side to serve him breakfast, "My wife is asleep . Ask Sarah to stay by my wife's side and serve her something to eat after she wakes up . Convey my apologies for not waiting for her to wake up and have breakfast with her . "
Butler, " . . . . "
Daniel West, " . . . . . "
Both the Butler and Daniel West looked at their boss with astonishment, their eyes were about to pop out of its sockets, 'My wife? Apologies?' Oh My God! Did I hear him right?'
'From when Madam is home, I'm getting to see another side of Sir which I've never seen since his childhood . ' In the end, the butler could only reply with, "Sure sir!" He could feel his skin burning up with embarrassment .
Ronnie turned towards Daniel West . So he'd to immediately regain his composure .
Ronnie began speaking, "Also Dan, Jayne won't be going to the University today . We'll drop by tomorrow . You can inform the Principal that she's ill and won't be coming today . "
"Unwell? Sir is everything alright? Should I call Dr Henry Thomas?" Daniel West asked with urgency in his voice .
"It's nothing . She's just a little tired . " Ronnie answered .
'Tired? Boss, what are you telling? Who's tired? But your hickey says something else sir!' Daniel West thought to himself but he too replied with just a 'Oh! Okay boss!"
-------
The first thing on Ronnie's schedule was to meet the Prime minister . Hence, Daniel West drove him to the Prime Minister's office .
"Good morning sir!" Ronnie greeted the Prime Minister on entering his office .
The Prime minister got up from his seat to wish Ronnie, "Good morning my boy! Wish you a very happy married life! You are invited to a dinner party tonight with your wife at my residence . " He was very close to Ronnie to such an extent that he treated him like his own son .
"Thank you so much sir! We'll be there . " Ronnie accepted politely .
"So, how's married life my boy?-" Before he could ask more, Ronnie's hickey caught his eyes too! He paused, smirked and continued . "I'm sure it must be great!" The Prime Minister winked at Ronnie and began teasing him .
Ronnie still didn't know that the hickey on his upper neck was the culprit all this while that the Prime Minister himself had to pull Ronnie's leg .
He spoke to him for a while longer relating to work and got back to his office . It was a long time since he came to his office . The first thing he did was, to call up home .
The landline at Ronnie's home began ringing .
Tring! Tring! Tring!
The head butler received the call, "Hello!"
"Has my wife woken up yet?" The butler heard his master's authoritative voice on the other end .
'My wife again! Better get used to this you butler . ' The butler chided himself inwardly .
"Not yet sir! Sarah is right next to her bed waiting for her to wake up . " The butler answered him .
"Okay, let me know once she is awake . Make sure she eats something . Ask her to call back . " Ronnie instructed the butler and hung up .
Ronnie got immersed in his work . But he kept glancing at his watch always . He was anxiously waiting for Jayne to call back . The waiting seemed like forever though it was hardly forty minutes since Ronnie had called home .
Just then his phone rang…
Tring!
Ronnie received right on the first ring .
"Hello!" He gushed over the phone .
"Sir, there's a change in your schedule . You have a meeting with the Army Chief in the afternoon for lunch . " His secretary Anne Murray said over the phone .
"Got it!" he hung up instantly .
Ronnie's mood was exactly like the gloomy weather outside which was smothered with fog . 'Jayne, I'm sorry! Call back soon!' He pleaded inwardly .
Just then the phone rang again . He picked up the phone lazily .
"Hello?"
Just then a feathery, honeyed voice answered him, "Hello?" which directly warmed Ronnie's heart . He felt his mood lift up instantly and the warmth surge from his heart all through his body with just a 'Hello' from his love .
"It's barely hours since we've been apart . I'm already missing you honey!" Ronnie felt himself caressing the receiver of the telephone .
