Sophia's POV:
I went home still waiting for his call. I've been trying to call him but his phone was still out of range.
After having dinner, I decided to wait for him in the living room. I opened the DVD player and chose some random movies to watch while waiting for him. But since my mind is in turmoil, I couldn't concentrate on the film. I don't understand what they were saying. I don't even know the title and the name of the characters or should I say I have already heard them, but my mind couldn't remember even one of their names.
I sighed, leaned back against the couch and checked my phone for I don't know how many times since this afternoon. But still... there is no message on the screen. I swear if my phone could just talk, she would yell at me... "Hey! Don't you know I'm fucking tired? You always check me every single minute?"
I shook my head and couldn't help smiling, then turned to the TV screen.
"Why can't he call me or send me even a single message?" I asked out loud, frustrated while watching one of the female characters crying on TV. What the hell! Why is she crying?
('Maybe it's because he's busy.') One of the girls answered the crying lady.
('Busy? Is he that busy that he can't even call me?') The crying lady snapped to her friend or maybe a sister or maybe...whatever!
"Exactly my point!" I exclaimed, but my eyebrows furrowed instantly when I realized they had the same situation as mine. Tsk.Tsk. who would have thought?
In the next few seconds, my attention finally immersed in their conversation, so I didn't notice that someone entered the living room and walked over to where I sit. I continued to become oblivious until she speaks...
"Aren't you tired of the happenings this whole day---"
"Huh!"
A loud gasp escaped my throat as I turned around in shock. I saw Nanay Emily standing behind the couch having mixed of a sweet and apologizing smile on her lips.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were too focused on the screen. I thought you had already noticed me."
I returned her smile, scratching the back of my neck as I shrugged.
"Uhm...I'm waiting for my husband."
"Hmm..." She said nodding. "Why don't you call him so you will know when he will arrive." She occupied the seat next to me.
I sighed. "Honestly, I've been trying to call him since this afternoon but he's out of range. I went to his office to bring him lunch but he wasn't there!"
"But I remembered that he said they had a board meeting, so where could he possibly be?"
"Well, Denise said Chloe called him this morning. She said something came up and she needs my husband's arms to hug her! So this kind and caring husband of mine immediately put on his shiny shoes including his elegant coat, ran to his expensive car and drove fast to where this annoying woman!" I finished my sentence with an 'argh', and with clenched jaws.
"Did he really do those things?" My head snapped towards her, biting my lips. "And wait, who is Chloe? Is she Daniel's other woman?"
"No, Nanay Emily, I was just exaggerating. And as for your last question, my answer is still no. Chloe Enriquez is just his business partner, nothing more, nothing less!"
Huh! I will never let her be my husband's, another woman! To hell with her!
"Ohh...alright." She shrugged. "So nothing to worry about if she's just his business partner."
"Yeah, you're right," I exclaimed. "She's just Daniel's business partner and she has nothing to worry about if she stays in that position!"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, apart from being his partner, she also happened to be his ex-girlfriend... the bitch ex-girlfriend who still flaunting herself in front of him as if Daniel will still bite her neck and leave some love bites, forgodsake!"
I didn't hear anything from her and when I glanced her, I saw a twisted smile playing on her lips.
