I was alone at home that afternoon, tidying up the kitchen after lunch, when the doorbell rang. My husband had mentioned something vague about his boss needing help, but I didn't think much of it. I smoothed down my sundress and opened the door to find Mr. Anil Garg standing there, my husband's stern-faced boss from the office. He looked tired, his broad shoulders slumped a bit under his suit jacket. I opened the door with a polite smile.
"Sir? What a surprise. My husband isn't home right now—he's out on that errand you sent him on. Can I help you with something?"
