Taming My Arrogant Husband novel Chapter 25

Daniels's POV:

"Nanay Emily, have you noticed Sophia this morning?"

I asked my nanny when I couldn't find her around the house after searching for almost five minutes. 

"Oh, she didn't tell you?"

"She didn't tell me what?"

"That she's going to stay in her old apartment."

"She's going to what?" I asked furrowing my eyebrows. 

"Yes, she told me she's going to stay in her old apartment because they need to rehearse for the grand finals."

"But why does she needs to stay there again? She can-----"

"Anak, let her be, it's just for a week." She smiled patting my arm. "Your wife really wanted to win this competition, as she said she will donate all the prize she'll get to the typhoon victims in Amador City."

"She will donate all the prize, but why would she do that?" I asked feeling surprised. I didn't expect that it was her real reason for joining the competition. 

"Maybe she just wanted to help those people who have been affected by the calamity. The typhoon left them devastated."

I was left speechless for a second. 

"But you can call her if you want, so you can talk to her."

"It's okay Nanay, just tell her whenever she came back to sign these papers."

I gave her the blue folder that consist of the new contract and project of KI Corporation with Mr. Giovanni's Company. I can't understand why that old man and his team still needs Sophia's signature for this project, but I have no choice but to agree. 

"Why don't you just call her or go to her old apartment to make her sign these papers?"

"I don't have enough time, Nanay. I need to go now because I still have an appointment with our new business partners."

"Oh, okay. Don't worry, I'll just give these to her when she come home."

"Thank you, Nanay." I said kissing her cheek before going out of the front door. 

I was about to start the engine when my phone vibrates inside my pocket. 

"What does this woman needs this time?" I asked gripping my phone when I saw the name of my ex-girlfriend, Chloe on the screen, I swiped the cancel button and throw it to the passenger seat. I don't have time for her game today. I sighed as I remember what happened yesterday when Sophia saw us in the parking lot. It's actually my intention to kiss Chloe, but seeing her walking out of the mall and towards her car, I pulled and kissed Chloe and made sure that she would see us. 

But it just made me annoyed seeing her not affected by what I did, so I immediately pushed Chloe when she's no longer at my sight.

Six days. Six days had passed that I've also been crazy busy in this new project of KI Corporation with  Mr. Giovanni team. It took almost all our time and patience since we started this project. 

And it's also been six days since Sophia returned to her old apartment for their rehearsals, that until now I don't understand why she needs to stay there again. It's just thirty minutes drive from the house to their studio, maybe it won't take so much of her time driving for thirty minutes? 

"Argh! Woman!" I slammed the files in front of me as I leaned my back on the chair. 

I closed my eyes and massaged my temples as I suddenly felt a headache. 

"Oops! Are you okay, Sir?"

I opened my eyes and see Andrew standing in front of my desk. 

"Sudden headache because of work?"

"And what else do you think will be the cause?" I asked him furrowing my eyebrows. 

"I don't know." He shrugged and put the blue folder on top of my desk. "I was just thinking maybe because of your wife." He added grinning. 

"Tss! What made you think that she has anything to do with this?"

"Hmm.. because since she returned to her old apartment, you have always been grumpy and yelling that I could almost hear you from my office." He chuckled flipping the pages of the folder in front of me.

"It's because of the new project with Mr. Giovanni and not because of her!"

"Ohh.. Okay." He shrugged again. "If that's what you want to believe, but sorry I don't believe you."

I tried to calm myself and decided to remain quiet to stop him from rumbling nonsense things. 

"Thank you, Sir and good luck for the new project." He said getting the folder from me. "And of course for your headache."

"Do you want this to be your last day at work?"

That made him stop from grinning. 

"Ohh... never mind what I said I was just kidding." I raised my eyebrow. "I'm going back to work, Sir."

"Good!"
