Major Erickson's POV

The major was in his office taking the last of his medication. He decided to call Mr Fox.
"Mr Fox, when will I receive my package?"
"It's already on its way. I hear Mr Andrews is back."
"What do you need from me?"
"There is a charity event coming up in two weeks' time. I need an associate of mine to have full access to that event."
"Done, as long as I get my package on time."

Juliet's POV

Juliet decided to surprise Ricardo, with an afternoon lunch in his office. She greeted Becky before making her way into his office.
"Juliet, he is in a foul mood today, please be careful," Becky warned her.
"Thanks for the heads up Becky," she said with a smile.
Becky then received a call from him, asking she send up the senior accountants to his office.

She found him hunched over some papers whilst still talking to Becky. She greeted him with a quick peck on his cheek, as he smiled up to her.
"Darling please don't stress yourself too much, it's not good for your health."
Just then the accountants came in looking very nervous as Ricardo stood up from his seat. The smile had left his features and left was an angry expression on his face and Juliet knew this was going to get ugly.

"What do I pay you fools for, tell me. In the few months I was absent the company ledgers are incomplete, and from what I can see, someone is stealing my money. Now I want a good explanation as to what has been going on in my absence or else..!
The men remained silent looking down as if their shoes had become a seventh wonder of the world.

"Don't just stand there answer me!" he shouted throwing the papers in their faces.
"Ricardo please calm down. Can't you talk to them in a decent manner?"
Ricardo turned and face Juliet, and what she saw scared her to her very core.
"Don't you ever, try to interfere in my business, do you hear me!"
Juliet stepped back with a tear rolling down her face, and quickly left his office, not stopping when Becky called her. As soon as she got home, she locked herself in her room and wept until sleep overcame her.

Meanwhile at the office, the accountants stood shocked at how their boss spoke to his wife. Everyone in the company had grown to like her.
"Leave me!" Ricardo growled.

Ricardo's POV

"Oh my goodness. What have I done?" he sighed running his hands through his hair. I have to make this right immediately."
Telling Becky to clear my entire schedule for the day, she responded in an angry tone and I knew she had heard me shouting at Julie.

On his was out he bought a single white rose, as a token of saying sorry. Upon reaching his suite he found Mary putting away the last of the dishes she had cleaned. When he greeted her, he got no response. Phil and Jack were also in the kitchen with grim expressions. If looks could kill, Ricardo would be six feet under by now.
"Why is everyone angry with me, only one is should be angry with me," he mumbled to himself.
"Your dinner is already prepared and is in the oven, sir," Mary stated as she picked her bag up and left. Both Phil and Jack left to do their work too, not saying a word to him.

"Thank you Mary."
Ricardo went into the living room looking for Julie, but she wasn't there, like he thought. He then went up to their bedroom but found the door locked and knew she was in their room.

"Julie, baby. Please open the door for me. I, I apologize for the way I behaved towards you. I was just very frustrated with work. Angel, I am so sorry, please baby open the door."
I got no response and still didn't leave the door, begging her to open up for me. Sitting down by the door, all I could hear were her soft sobs, each sob a stab to my heart. I sat there for a good three hours, begging her to open the door for me.

"If you don't open this door, I am breaking it down on the count of three Juliet," he growled.
"One, two..." Before he could finish she opened the door for him.
"Don't, you will hurt yourself," she said softly.
Ricardo felt guilty at what he saw, her eyes were red and swollen from crying.

"Baby, please forgive me. I am really sorry," he said pulling her into his arms.
"Listen to me Ricardo, I will not come to your office anymore if that is how you always talk to your employees. They are human beings with feelings as well. I am sorry for interfering in your work it will never happen again," she said in a low voice.
"No, no, no. You can't leave me angel. I was wrong."
" I didn't say I would leave, I will just give you your space. I don't want another man in my life who will be-little me, I had enough of that with Anthony," she said walking out of her room and heading towards the stairs.
"I am nothing like Anthony, Juliet, I love you!" He said as he caught her wrist and pulled her into his arms.

"You are the only woman I have ever loved," he said moving towards the wall were he pinned her and pushed her up against it until they were face to face. Juliet shivered slightly in anticipation of what he was going to do. She wrapped her legs around his waist and held onto his bulging arms for support. Ricardo's stubble tickled for face and he bit and sucked on a spot by her neck. Letting out a moan, Ricardo knew he had her.

"The way you make me feel angel. I just can't explain it."
Ricardo slowly captured her lips in a slow sensual kiss that left her wanting more as he pulled away. He pulling her closer asking for entrance by biting on her bottom lip. She stifled a moan not wanting to let him know how much he affected her. Juliet finally gave him entrance, and felt herself become dizzy but he kept a firm hold, supporting her. She wound her hands around his neck pulling him closer to deepen the kiss much further. With her hand fisted in his hair, she heard him growl and she moaned in response, pleased that she too had some effect on him. They both pulled apart catching their breath, looking into each other eyes.
"I am sorry sweetheart," Ricardo whispered as he kissed her tears away.
"Apology accepted," she whispered as he carried her back into their bedroom.
