Taming My Arrogant Husband novel Chapter 108

I jolted in bed, eyes wide open as my hand started searching for something. My phone. 

"Where is my phone? Oh, hell! What time is it?" I removed my blanket. Wait, blanket? Where did I get it? I ignored the question and stood up looking for my damn phone. "Where is it?" I asked tapping my forehead. 

"I put it on the console table."

I turned around when I heard Nanay Emily's voice. I opened my mouth in confusion. 

"You're looking for your phone, aren't you?"

I nodded. 

"It's over the console table."

I nodded again but ignored what she had said. "What time is it, Nanay Emily?"

"It's seven o'clock in the---"

"Oh, God! I overslept! Did Daniel call me or has he already arrived?"

"No, he's not home yet, Anak." She replied shaking her head. 

Disappointment filled my chest instantly. "Did he even call or sends a message?" I asked again walking towards the console table where she put my phone. But I don't even have to hear her answer since my phone screen has already shown me the answer. 

"He called this morning..."

I felt my bones cracked when I turned 360 just to hear what she is about to say. 

"He said he couldn't go home because one of their engineers had an accident and he had to stay in the site to watch the ongoing construction----"

"W-Wait! Construction?" I asked raising my hand, completely cutting her off from speaking. "Since when did he start personally supervising the company's constructions or projects? He is the CEO of KI corporation and has employees who have been assigned to do it! And by the way, the last time I checked, KI corporation is a manufacturing company, so what does he mean by that?"

"Ohh..."

I'm not sure if I really saw Nanay Emily's face turn pale while I was talking. "I-I... uhmm... maybe they were constructing a new building or new outlet for their products! Yeah... maybe that's what he meant, so he needs to stay in the site."

Huh? I wish I could say... 'Nanay Emily, you're also not good at lying. You stuttered.' But of course, I have to keep it myself and just gave a smile. 

"Ahh... okay," I said nodding. 

"Do you want to have breakfast now? I will prepare them for you."

"No, Nanay Emily. Thanks but I think I'll just have breakfast at work."

"Are you sure? If you want, I can wrap them up so you can take them to work."

"I think that's a good idea. Thank you."

"Anyway, Rian has also called earlier, she's asking for you."

"What did she say?"

"She said she will visit you in the studio today."

"Did she tell you why?"

"She said she wanted to have girl bonding with you, just the two of you."

"Uhuh... okay, but why does she suddenly want to visit me and have bonding with me?"

"Well, I think that's for you to find out and for me to ask you afterwards." She shrugged and her lips curled with the same smile she gave me last night, and what did Craig give me the last time. 

Something is wrong! 

But I have to shake them off and pretend I'm not intrigued by what's going on. 

"I'm going to take a shower, Nanay Emily."

She nodded and I left her smiling in the living room. Even when I'm going up the stairs, I still feel her stares on my back.

"And can you feel the love tonight? It is where we are. It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer, that we've got this far..."

As long as I wanted to concentrate on my computer screen... I can't, because of Craig. He's been singing the whole time since I entered the studio and even followed me inside the office.
