Taming My Arrogant Husband novel Chapter 109

"Hi, my official sister-in-law!"

I blinked in surprise when Rian came in and ran towards me. She pulled me in a tight hug before throwing herself on the couch in front of my desk. 

"Official sister-in-law? Really, Rian?"

"Why? What's wrong with that? You're my official sister-in-law now, aren't you?"

"W-What are you talking about?"

"Well, it's because you're now my brother's wife, as in real wife and not just based on a contract, a deal or an agreement."

"A-Alright, I get it, but what are you doing here?"

"Oops! Didn't Nanay Emily tell you I called this morning?"

"Yes, she did, but why do you suddenly want to go out? Where is Alex and where are your kids?"

She stood up, smiling widely and went over to me. 

"I ask Mom and Dad to take care of my kids for a while and about my husband, as usual, he's in his office having a closed-door meeting with the CEO of their new business associate." She led me to the wall mirror hanging near the bathroom door. "You look sick, Belle. Your skin looks so dry and your hair..." She flipped my hair. "It looks dull and frizzy."

What the hell? What is she doing? I creased my forehead. 

"Look, Rian----"

"That's why I wanted to have some girl moments with you!" She seemed so excited. 

"What?"

"I want to try a new hairstyle, have a full body massage, foot spa, skin spa and all kinds of spas."

"W-Wait---"

"And of course, I want you to go with me. I know a place where they offered a complete package for a beauty treatment. I'm sure you're going to enjoy this! Let's go!"

"Wait! I have some reports to finish, Rian----"

"Come on, Belle. What is Craig doing?"

"He's busy mentoring our newly enrolled students."

"And what about the other members of your team?"

"Rian..."

"Please, Belle?" She pouted like she used to do when she asked for something from her brother. I bit my lip. Thinking of his older brother again. 

"Fine." I sighed. 

........................................

We used her car to go to the place she mentioned earlier, so Ben and the rest of his team have no choice but to follow us using my car

Like what Rian said, she took me to an exclusive spa where they offered a complete package of beauty treatment. We both do the hair cut first, then we enter the adjacent room for a full body massage and foot spa. 

I noticed the energy she is having today, from the moment she came to my office and even when we were sitting next to each other in the spa lounge. She's mumbling things that sometimes I don't understand, but of course, I have no choice but to listen to her and nod every time she looks at me. 

I have tried to open some topics about his brother, his absence for almost two days and for his strange behavior this past few days, but she's not giving me the chance to speak. Whenever I try to open my mouth and start a conversation about him, she will open another topic to discuss and sometimes talk to the lady who is making her nail polish. 

"Rian does your brother calling you?"

"Miss, can I see your brochure of different nail art? I'm thinking of having a design on my nails. What do you think, Belle?"

"Huh? Uhmm---" but before I could answer her question, she asked the lady again. 

"How about you, Miss? Which one do you think is nice? I want to have something unique and different."

Blah... Blah... Blah... Blah... 

And they talked about the different nail art designs as if I wasn't there, I don't exist and I'm not sitting next to her. I don't know what to think. I'm not sure if she hasn't really heard me, even though we're just a few inches away from each other, or she's just pretending not to hear me... I don't know. 

I feel like she's ignoring the topic about her brother so she's just pretending to be deaf.

I tried to ask again, but she just waved my question by asking me another question. 

"Are you hungry?"

"What?"
