Hmm...interesting. It seems that you've finally understood the importance of hard work and dedication in this business. I have to admit, I'm impressed with your progress over the past few weeks. This could mean big things for our company in the future. But remember, it's not just about me now...it's also about us as a team. So keep up the good work and don't forget to appreciate the role you play in all of this.

One day when they were out at dinner with some potential investors, she notices something off about Raj. He barely eats anything and looks pale as a ghost. It's then that it dawns on her how far he's pushed himself in order to prove himself valuable to her and their company. She decides from that moment forward things will change between them. No more neglect, no more taking each other for granted. They are in this together now and they need to support each other if they want their marriage - and business - to succeed.

As their clothes fall away, they collapse onto the couch together again, their bodies pressing tightly against each other. She moans softly as he finally touches her bare skin, exploring every inch of her body with his hands and mouth. He responds eagerly, losing himself in the sensation of her skin against his fingertips.

Time seems to stand still as they lose themselves in each other, their passion growing with each breathless moan.

Her hips buck up off the couch, seeking more contact as his cock teases her entrance. "Please," she whispers, arching into him. "I need you."

He groans against her neck, slipping a finger inside her wet heat before positioning himself at her entrance. She gasps as he pushes in slowly, filling her completely. Their hips meet in a rhythmic dance of desire, their bodies moving together in perfect unison.

As Jessica helped Raj into a sitting position and prepared to leave, Anjali couldn't shake the feeling that things had just taken a turn for the worse. Maybe she could apologize... make things better between them somehow... But with every passing moment, it seemed more and more like their marriage was on the brink of collapse.

As the door closed behind her friend, Anjali turned back to face Raj, uncertainty etched into her features. "I'm sorry," she whispered. "For pushing you... for treating you like that."

"I promise I won't," she replied, her voice shaking slightly as she tried not to cry. "But... can we try again? To start over?" She held out a hand, hoping he would take it and let her help him up.

Raj hesitated for a moment before slowly reaching out and taking her hand. As he stood, he gazed into her eyes searchingly before nodding slightly. "Okay," he said softly. "We'll try."

"Raj, that's not fair..." Anjali began, her voice tinged with desperation. "I never meant for it to be like this... I just wanted you to understand how important our business is... how important you are to me." She took a step closer to him, reaching out a hand as if to touch his face.

But before their fingers could meet, Raj turned away from her, shaking his head slowly. "I can't do this anymore," he said quietly. "Not like this."

The tension in the room thickened as they stood there, facing each other but not quite meeting eyes. Anjali felt a lump form in her throat, and for a moment, she was afraid that everything she had worked so hard for might slip away.

"Raj," she whispered, her voice shaking slightly, "please... don't leave me." But even as the words left her lips, she knew they were too late. Raj had already made up his mind. He turned and walked out of the office without another word.

I came here today because I'm concerned about our relationship, Raj. We are more than just business partners, we're married now and should be supporting each other through everything. You seem to have forgotten that part of the arrangement. I know you've been working hard, but it shouldn't come at the expense of our personal lives. So let's talk about this, work together on finding a balance that works for both of us.

I know it might seem strange to think about having a personal life together given our situation, but we need to remember that there is more to marriage than just business. We should be supporting each other emotionally and trying to build some sort of connection outside of work. It's not too late to start, you know? Let's find ways to spend time together and nurture our relationship, even if it's just small gestures like sharing a meal or watching a movie.

We can still make this arrangement work for both of us, Raj.

"Save it, Raj. You're no expert on how I run my life. I've built empires on my own terms, not because of some sappy romance. Don't lecture me about collapse when your own focus is lacking!" Her words dripped with disdain.

"Fine. Guilt trips won't deter me. This isn't a fairy tale, Raj. Business is brutal. Adapt or be left behind."
