Taming My Arrogant Husband novel Chapter 40

Daniel's POV:

"Sir, we have a meeting at the Downtown Mall around 4 pm. with the Asian Industries Corporation representative."

Andrew said when he came into my office. 

"Wait, why is it at the Downtown Mall? Are we the one who set an appointment with them?" I asked furrowing my eyebrows. 

"No, Sir. They called yesterday to set a meeting scheduled today."

"If so, why did you agree to hold the meeting at the downtown mall?"

"I just thought they were one of the big clients of the KI corporation, so I agreed."

He smiled awkwardly scratching the back of his neck."

"Just this once, Sir so we can go to the mall too. We're always busy at work so we don't have time to enjoy ourselves."

I sneered. "So that's the real reason why you agreed to set the meeting at the mall, to enjoy?"

He shrugged smiling like an idiot. 

"We can go to the bar after the meeting like we used to do before." He sat down in front of my desk. "I just noticed that we haven't been drinking at the bar since you married Sophia."

I raised my eyebrow. "It's because we're busy with our new project and partnership with Mr. Giovanni."

"When have we not been busy? Come on, dude, we were always busy even before but you could still join me for a drink."

"Andrew, it's different then compared to now!"

"And how different it was then compared to now?"

He chuckled at me. 

"Ahh... you don't have to answer that, I already know the answer! It's because you have 'Sophia' now and in all your remaining time, you'll spend it thinking of her."

"And who told you I was thinking of her?" I threw a crumpled paper on his face. "She's not an important person for me to spend time thinking of her!" I said frowning at him. 

"Ohh... Okay." He shrugged as he stood up. "You're not too defensive with your answer, dude." He added with a smirk. 

"Tss! Can you back to your work now?" I said glaring at him. 

"Okay, Sir."

I smirked as an idea came to my head. 

"By the way, be ready for the presentation this afternoon with the Asian Industries Corporation."

"What?" His eyes suddenly widened. "I thought you were the one who will present the new project with them?"

"Well, I've changed my mind, you're now the one who will present the new project to them."

"Huh? But you said-----"

"That's final Andrew. You can go back to your office now." I said raising my eyebrow. 

I suppress my laugh while watching scratching the back of his head as he walked towards the door.

Sophia's POV:

"Anak, are you sure you're going with me to the supermarket?"

I smiled and nodded to Nanay Emily's third or fourth times of asking the same question. 

"Aren't you busy today?"

"No, Nanay Emily. I don't have a dance class schedule now, so I can go with you to the supermarket."

I said walking with her towards my car. But we were stopped by one of my bodyguards from opening my car door. 

"Ma'am Sophia, we're not using your car." He said smiling awkwardly at me. 

"Excuse me?"

"Mr. Kelley said you're not going to use your car starting today."

"Forgodsake---"

I didn't finish my statement when I felt Nanay Emily's hand in my arm. 

"Let it be, Anak because I'm sure we will not fit inside your car, especially now that you have two additional bodyguards."

My eyes widened in surprise. 

"T-Two additional bodyguards?" I looked around to see two new faces behind Nanay Emily. 

"Oh, haven't your husband told you that you have 2 additional bodyguards from now on?"

"He didn't inform me this, Nanay Emily."

They all looked at me awkwardly. 

"Maybe he's just thinking about your safety, Anak. He already introduced you to the media and for sure many will recognize you as his wife everywhere you go."

I just sighed biting my lips and didn't argue with her as I thought she has a point about my safety. 

Well, there's nothing wrong with having bodyguards around me, the only problem is that I am not used to having someone trailing behind me and watching my every move. 

Ben removed the cover of one of the cars in front of us that made my eyes widened in surprise.
