The drive to the airport

Rodney glanced at the couple through the rearview mirror, observing their silence. He had recently started working as Edward's assistant for a few weeks now,it was his first time being together with the couple. He had heard lots of gossip about their enviable marriage. But right now he was witnessing a different thing.

They haven't spoken to each other since they got into the car and their lack of communication still puzzled him. They were an odd couple, to say the least. It was clear that there was something amiss in their relationship, but he could never quite put his finger on it. Or were they having normal quarrels between couples? He thought.

As they drove towards the airport, Rodney decided to break the silence. He cleared his throat before speaking, directing his question at Edward. "Sir, should I drop Madam at the company first before heading to the airport?"
