The Cherished Wife by Chweety

Arya happened to come over just then. "Mr. Parker, are you heading out now? Are you going to West City?"

"Yes." Brian took the documents from Arya, glanced at them, and said, "Redo these. Also, you don't need to come with me today. Noelle will accompany me. I need the revised data on my desk by the time I return."

"I understand." She realized that Brian was right, leaving her with
