Driving non-mahrams

Q: Where I'm working, I know the people quite well. I've been working here for about 3 years or so now. 

They give me duties to do, example, to take their mother or wife or sister to go shopping or to transport them from one place to another. 

I personally don't like doing that because they are non mahram. My wife gets angry with me when I do those things and she doesn't speak to me. 

If I do tell my boss that I can't do those duties, I know personally they will fire me or treat me differently although they are Muslims. What should I do?

A: If it is difficult for you to explain the situation to your boss, then take your wife with you when transporting the womenfolk from one place to another.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
