(Pierce's pov)
Pierce sat on his chair, his mind passive as he fumbled with his clothing, trying to get them back on him. s*x with his wife wasn't good, but they only became worse after he slept with Lori Hart at that masquerade party.
He felt almost disgusted with touching another woman, particularly his wife. Her scent now became unbearable, her feels too.
He had a massive sense of passionate s*x with a stranger that it worsened his amatory exploits with his wife.
Thankfully, in this case, Pierce was a great concealer. He managed to hide his true state and prevented Caitlyn from discovering it.
It was done now, the s*x he'd just given her should last her for another week. He was grateful she wasn't a s****l freak, if she was, she would have been a lot harder to manage. He was observing the situation perfectly.

" Honey, " Caitlyn called, she had already worn back her robe. She positioned on the couch, legs crossed, with a glass of wine in her hands.
" Mhm, " Pierce gave her a reply.
" I spoke to Violet from Yakizi. "
The mention of Yakizi caused Pierce to suddenly tune in to whatever his wife was brewing, he recognized Yakizi as a very influential entertainment group.
" Okay? " He was following her.
" And, she offered to do a one week full cover of heart, to be documented on their network. " Caitlyn sounded expectant.
Pierce sighed deeply, " When did this happen? "
" Two days ago. "
" I don't want that, cancel it. " He was precise.
Caitlyn sat up, " What do you mean? heart being on Yakizi is the biggest form of outreach ever, it would be great for the__
He didn't let her finish, " I thought I told you I don't want anything that has to do with reporters in my company, especially when you didn't tell me first. "
" It was supposed to be a surprise. " Her voice was slightly accelerating.
" I don't want it Caitlyn. "
" I don't understand, I'm trying to help, why won't you let me? " She asked in a broken tone.
" After what happened last time with Dingos__
" That was a mistake. " she jumped in, " It was one time, and you're overacting. "
" We lost a high profile customer. "
" There is a million more where that came from, and you know it. " Caitlyn replied, abandoning her wine.
(PIERCE'S POV)
Pierce saw a longer time spent in the engagement with his wife, and most frankly, he didn't want that. Not only was he not in the mood, things could easily go south.

He breathed in, " Cancel Yakizi. " He hoped she sensed the seriousness in his voice and heeded.
" It would be great with the new project coming up, "
Pierce gave Caitlyn a slow turn of eye contact, " You know about project cape? "
