"Oh, God, sweetheart! You're killing me!"
My eyes widened in surprise and an idea came to my mind.
"But she didn't put poison in all the food she's giving you, Sir."
"You're still here?" He looked up immediately. Shock and confusion were written in his wide eyes.
"Yes, Sir, I'm still here." I pretended to be confused.
"I-I thought....never mind! Get out and go back to work!" He said brushing his hair frustratedly.
"What about this?" I asked, lifting the paper bag.
"Argh! Fine! Put it on the table!"
"Are you sure, Sir---"
"Yes! Put it on the table and get out!"
"Oh, right away, Mr. Kelley!"
After placing the bag on the small table, a wide smile instantly crept my lips and I went out of his office, grinning. If I only knew that only that menudo dish is the way for him to give in, I have already told his wife to cook it every day and serve it to him three times a day. Maybe that dish has already melted his pride and ran to his wife the day he saw her again.

Daniel's POV:
I couldn't help myself glancing at the door. It's already 11:45 am and there are 15 minutes left before the lunch break, but until now Denise hasn't entered my office to bring my lunch.
It's been two weeks since Sophia started bringing me food and it's also been two weeks that I've almost gone insane knowing that she's just there but I can't hold her. I wanted to hug her and tell her how much I missed her, but I can't do it as I am still waiting for the right moment.
I waited until exactly 12:00 pm but Denise didn't enter my office so I tried to make an alibi just to send her in and check if Sophia had already arrived and brought my food.
"Mr. Kelley, you called me, Sir."
"Uhmm...have you already finished the report from marketing team?" I asked, my eyes were scanning if she had a paper bag.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Sir but I didn't open it. I thought you said you will need it by the end of this month so I finished the reports from the finance department first, but if you want, I will start scanning it right now."
"No, no it's okay." I said shaking my head then sighed.
I checked my wristwatch again and it's already 12:15 pm and she usually brings me food around 11:30 to 11:45. How would I ask her about it? Has my wife come and brought me lunch or called me that she can't cook for me today?
"Excuse me, Sir. I just want to ask if you need anything else?"
"Uhm... no, nothing so far, you can take your break."
"How about you, Sir? Aren't you going to eat lunch?"
-'didn't my wife bring me food today?'- I asked her silently but my eyes suddenly turned wide when she smiled and answered my question.
"No, Sir. Your wife didn't come to bring you food today." She said emphasizing the word wife.
"D-Did I ask it out loud?"
"Yes, Sir you did."
I just sighed and motioned her to leave. I closed my eyes and leaned against my seat, as I couldn't help but think of the reason why she suddenly stopped from doing it.
I took my phone and about to dial my sister's number but I dropped it immediately.
"Argh! Fuck!"

Sophia's POV:
"Thank again everyone who came and joined my girlfriend's birthday party. I hope you enjoy the rest of the party. Happy birthday, babe. I love you."
I rolled my eyes before cheering with the guests when Bryan and Aira shared a quick kiss on the stage after his speech.
