Rhea and leo were married for 10 years. They were both in love with each other. Leo was a responsible and a loving father. I can say that they have a perfect family. Until one day everything change.

In the dining were everybody is having their dinner.

Leo : ( talking to rhea) honey , betty is signing for a resignation .

Rhea : What? Why? She was your secretary for almost 7 years .

Leo : yeah, I can't stop her because her husband decided to stop her from working so that they can have children .

Rhea : oh yes, maybe she needs a rest so she can get pregnant .

Leo : I have already found a new secretay, her name was cathy, I guest .

Rhea : oh you already found a new secretary, that was fast .

Leo : Yes, because I immediately ask the office to hire me a new secretary. But betty will still stay for one week to train cathy .

Rhea : Yes, betty must train her first .

After dinner the whole family happily watch Television together.
As time goes by Rhea felt that something has change. Leo was always home late, seems that he can no longer have time to his family. He doesn't seem like that before.

in Leo's office

Knock, knock, knock

Cathy doesn't even listen to Leo instead he approaches leo and whisper in his ears

Cathy : after our work, i'll be waiting for you outside. I will give you the happines that your wife cannot give you.

That night Rhea and the children are waiting for leo, hoping that he would come home early today. But as expected leo call her wife telling that he could be late because there is still lot of work at the office.
