Taming My Arrogant Husband novel Chapter 96

"So what do you think will happen if he finds out that you agreed with JM as his date on thursday? Forgodsake, today is tuesday that means it's on the day after tomorrow!"

"Yup, don't worry, I have Denise if you don't want to help me."

"Tss! Okay, fine! I'm going to help you but make sure this time he will fall into your trap!"

"I hope so, but in case he don't bite the trap, I still have another plan in mind." I smiled and then shrugged. 

"Oh, goodness!"

Daniel's POV:

"Didn't she call?"

I asked Denise, frowning as it is the third day that Sophia didn't come to the office. I'm not mad because she hasn't cooked and brought food, but with the fact that I missed her so much and I can't even see her face or smell her perfume. 

"No, Sir, she didn't."

"Fuck! What the hell is going on with her?" I banged my fists on the table due to frustration. "Call Andrew when you leave!"

"Yes, Sir."

I'm not sure if I saw her smiled but I just ignored it and took my phone from the drawer. I was about to dial Craig's number when Andrew entered my office. 

"Denise told me, you wanted to see me, Sir?"

"Yes! Did my wife call you?"

"Ohh... I thought you said you don't have a wife and she has nothing to do with you?"

"What the hell, just answer my fucking question, Andrew!"

"Hey, take it easy, dude! She didn't call me, okay?"

He was shocked when I yelled but Andrew, being Andrew, just laughed at me and sat on the couch. 

"And why do you suddenly interested if she called or not?"

"It's been three days, Andrew! It's been fucking three days when she suddenly stop bringing me lunch and she didn't even call or send a message if what is happening to her right now!"

"I got it! So you're mad because she stopped bringing you lunch? Come on, dude, she's not your maid to cook and prepare your meals every day!"

"That's not what I mean, Andrew! I just want to know if she's fine, if she's sick or if she goes back to Italy---argh! Fuck!"

"Then why don't you call her or visit her in her old apartment to know how she is!"

"I can't, Andrew!"

"But why?"

"I can't tell you right now."

"For Christ sake, Daniel, when are you going to stop your nonsense act and tell her that you still love her and that you are a mess without her?"

"Believe me, you don't know how I feel every time she brings food and stood in front of my office door. And every time her scent filled my nostrils, I almost have gone crazy! I wanted to touch her but I still have to pretend until it's done."

"Done? What is it that you have to do first before you talk to her? Is it more important than your wife?"

"Of course, not! But I told you, I can't spill the beans right now."

"All right, if that's your decision. But don't you ever call me in the middle of the night to have a drink if your plan fails!"

"This won't fail I promise, just bear with me."

"Fine!" He huffed, crossing his arms over his chest. "Hmm... if you want I can call Craig and ask him where is your wife."

"No, thank you, but I was about to call him before you came."

"Okay, so do you need anything else, Sir?" He stressed the last word. "Wait, did you just call me to ask me if your wife called?"

I didn't answer his question as I started to dial Craig's number. 

"Tss! Such an arrogant boss!"

I just chuckled when he whispered and walked towards the door. 

I waited for Craig to pick up the phone and thank God he finally answered after four rings. But to my surprise, he spoke so fast before I could open my mouth. 

"Mr. Kelley, if you're going to ask me if she's here, well my answer is no!"

"H-How did you know that I'm going to ask you about her?"

"Why, is there any topic that you would like to discuss with a gay like me?"

"What---"

"Why don't you just call her instead of bothering her best friend?"

"She doesn't answer her phone." I lied, but the truth is, I didn't even try to call her. 

"Ohh... maybe it's in silent mode so she can't disturb the party."

"The----what did you say? Party? Where is she? Where is that party you were talking about?"

"Hey, Daniel Kelley! Can you just ask one at a time? I don't have a freaking recorder to record all your questions!"

"I'm sorry." I sighed, forming my fists. "Craig, please, I need to know where she is."

"Haha... and why? I thought you said she's not your wife and she had nothing to do with you?"

I closed my eyes as I remembered that this was Andrew's exact question earlier. 

"I'm sorry, okay? Please tell me where she is and who's with her, I'm going insane, Craig!"

"Fine! She is in Saavedra residence with----"

"Saavedra residence? You mean to say with JM Saavedra?"

"Yup, the one and only."

"What the hell is she doing there and why is she with him?"

"Hmm... well, as I heard, JM Saavedra invited her as his date tonight for there company's annual celebration...."

As soon as the word 'date' came out of his mouth, I felt my blood boil and suddenly rose up to my head. 

"...she agreed to go with him and-----"

"Goddamnit!" I yelled that made him stop talking. I also banged my hand on the table as I felt the rage filling up inside me. 

"Hey! Why are you mad at me? I'm just answering your question----"

I didn't wait for him to finish his statement as I immediately ended the call. After putting the phone inside my pocket, I took my jacket and my car key and ran towards the door. 

I saw Andrew and Denise talking and they immediately stopped when they noticed me. 

"Are you going home---"

"No! I'm going to Saavedra's residence and take my wife out that house! And God forbid, but I'm going to break JM's neck if he dared to touch her!"

"Ohh... okay, take care, Sir and good luck!"

I heard Andrew shouted behind me but I didn't have time to look at him or Denise. And because of that, I missed everything that happened behind me when I entered the lift. I missed the way they shared a knowing look, their high fives and the exchange of laughter as if they had won in a lottery.
