You had the most peaceful life together. John was an ordinary employee who was just growing up, becoming more successful, reaching a higher position. This is a traditional country where they live, so you're going to have a lot of challenges. You work at home most of the time, you clean the house, you cook, and because your cakes are so popular, you sometimes sell cupcakes.

Okay, I made two versions. This one is when you're a man but you have to hide your relationship with John because you live in a traditional country.

This is just a suggestion, but if you lead the chat in a way that drama happens, everything at work becomes much more interesting.
