When Raymond got home that day, he met Julia studying for her exams with a friend.

Tugging his briefcase, he walked up to them and then with a smile asked,

"How were your exams?"

"Tough." Julia snapped as she pulled her hair with both hands.

It seems she had been waiting for this question for ages.

Smirking, Raymond placed his hand on her shoulder and then gave it a soft massage.

"Study hard so it won't be tough," he whispered in her ear and then turned to leave.

He was about to walk into the lobby when he turned around and returned to the dining table where they were seated.

"Hi, nice meeting you." He said to her friend who was all smiles.

"Nice meeting you too. My name is Freya."

"Raymond." He smirked and then turned around.

After the study session with Freya had ended, Julia made her way to the balcony where she had sighted Raymond sitting with his laptop.

    Raymond had his back turned to Julia, reeling out the portion of her book he had skimmed through while she was dozing off. When he was done, he turned towards Julia who had her hand folded across her chest with a smirk on her face. "It's easy peasy right?" He smirked "That's a lie." She snapped back with a creased brow. "Come on, it's not." "I'm finding it really hard to retain the same line you just reeled. Tell me, you attended Harvard." "Not a church rat like me even if I was given a scholarship, I wouldn't dare. You want to know why? I will tell you why. I can't stand the rich kids." He smirked Julia chuckled at his dry joke and then with her head buried in her book, she began to head towards the kitchen to get breakfast. Left alone in the living room, he flopped on the sofa and then picked up the remote. It had been a while since he made use of the remote and so, he had forgotten about its function.

"Are you telling the truth?" Mr. Mickey asked when only a few meters separated him from him. "Yes, I am. Apart from my boss and a handful of people, I don't know any other." He replied, matching his piercing gaze with the same intensity. Turning around, Mr. Mickey returned to his seat and when he had reclaimed it, he said, "Antonio is from the IT department."

She greeted me when she noticed Raymond's presence in the kitchen. "Morning." He mumbled, brushing past her, he headed for the fridge to get a bottle of cold water. The couples were silent and when they felt it was time to speak, they both asked in unison, "You're alright?" It was as if they had planned it beforehand but it was just a mere coincidence. Chuckling, Raymond asked, "Why are you thinking the same way as me?" "That's because we are couples. You look like shit this morning, is everything alright?" "Yeah."
