Taming My Arrogant Husband
Chapter 90: She's back

Sophia's POV:

"Ah-oh! Am I seeing things?"

Andrew's first question when saw me in the lobby of Kelley International Corporation. He even lowered his glasses to make sure of what he saw. "Sophia! You're here!"

His loud voice caught the attention of some of the employees in the lobby.

"Hi, Andrew. How are you?" I asked smiling at him.

"When did you come back?"

"Ouch! What are you doing?"

I frowned when he grabbed my arms, my head and shook my shoulders. He looked so surprised to see me.

"Whoa! You really are here! What a surprise it is! Are you here to see your husband?"

"Yup, I just want to talk to him. Do you think he's busy?"

"Oh, whatever he is doing I'm sure he will stop when he sees you, and I'm sure he will run and hug you until you lose your breath!"

I chuckled when he took my arm and dragged me towards the elevator. I don't know what's going on with him, he seemed so excited to see me. But what I didn't know, my silent question will be answered inside the elevator.

"Oh, you are such an angel sent from above, Sophia! Thank God, you'll save me from slavery!"

Although I didn't understand what he meant, I chuckled again.

"What do you mean I will save you from slavery?"

"Tsk.tsk.tsk... you don't know what your husband has done to me these last few weeks. I've become his slave and personal entertainer since we came back from Italy. Every night, Sophia, every night he calls me to have a fucking drink! Can you imagine that? He calls me at one and sometimes two or three in the morning just to have a drink at Jack's bar, for heaven's sake!"

"He always drinks?" I asked surprised as I can't believe what Daniel did when he came back. As far as I know, he's not always a fan of alcohol.

"Yes, he's always drunk! I really don't know what happened between you two in Italy. He never said a word why he suddenly wanted us to come back."

"He never told you the reason?"

He shook his head.

"No, he just turned into that! And since he didn't say anything, I just assumed something had happened between the two of you, so he urged me to call his pilot and immediately come back here. And I was right when one time he called me and witnessed how devastated he was."

He sighed before looking at me and gave me a sad smile.

"And maybe out of depression and being so drunk, he turned to the point that he's talking to his glass of wine as if it were you."

"What did he say?" I asked curiosity kicked inside me.

"That he was a jerk, a stupid, that he had never seen how important you were to him from the start. That he was an idiot for treating you bad and for not realizing immediately that he loves you."

I just sighed and reciprocate his sad smile.

"What else did he do?"

"Well, apart from drinking almost every night and being a monster, he never stops working. The regular office hours is 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, but your husband seemed so in love with his office and came to work at exactly 6:00 am then go out by 9:00 to 10:00 pm."

"He's working too much! Didn't he feel tired?"

"That's exactly what I'm saying, not to mention the fact that he always comes to work with the smell of alcohol and he wanted me to go to work as early as him! Argh! That man!"

I couldn't help but laugh with his reaction.

"Look at this."

He pointed the skin under his eyes.

"What is that?"

"Eye bags!" I bit my lip to suppress my smile. "These are fucking eye bags caused by your husband! I only slept 3 to 4 hours every day and it's so lucky for me if he didn't call on a Sunday morning because even on weekends, he wanted to go to work, forgodsake! So please, Sophia, come back with him. You're the only woman who turned my friend into a monster. You're my only hope, please save me and help me out of slavery!"

"B-But how will I help you?"

"Tell him you love him and you want to fix your marriage. I'm sure he will turn into his old self when he sees you. Oh, God, I don't want to go back to being his personal slave again! I really wanted to have a good and peaceful sleep and pursue the love of my life."

Dinggg...

We shared a look when the elevator stopped on the 40th floor, the executive floor.

"Do you think he will accept me and forgive me for what happened?" I asked as we stepped out of the lift.

"Sophia, I'm sure he will jump for joy when he sees you. Trust me, I saw him... no, I witnessed his misery when you're not here."

I breathe loudly and nodded at him.

We walked together towards the desk of Daniel's secretary, Denise. But when I was about to greet her, Andrew beat me.

"Hi, De----"

"Hi, beautiful."

I blinked with the words he used and surprised to see how they exchanged glances with each other.

"Ohh... what is this, an office romance?" I asked, my eyes were moving from Andrew to Denise. And that's only when she noticed me.

"Oh, my God, Ma'am Sophia, you're back!" She squealed in excitement. "Thank God!"

"Hmm... that's exactly what my reaction when I saw her in the lobby." Andrew said beaming at her.

"Wait, why do you seem so excited to see me? Don't tell me your boss also made you his slave-like Andrew?"

"Oh, Ma'am Sophia, how I wish he also made me his robot the last few weeks, I would rather accept that, but no." "But why?"

"Actually, my problem is not your husband but with the annoying creature who always made me live in hell every day!" "Tss! She's inside again?" Andrew asked her with a frown and she nodded.

"Who are you talking about?"

"I'm not sure if you know her, Ma'am Sophia. She's Chloe Enriquez, Mr. Kelley's new business partner."

"Ahh... Chloe Enriquez, the sole heir of Enriquez trading and Daniel's ex-bitch-girlfriend. Yeah, I know her!" "Whoa! I like the word you used to describe her, huh."

"Which one, the ex-bitchy-girlfriend? Well, I still owe her a slap for sleeping in my husband's suite in San Diego!"

I turned to Andrew who clapped his hands before marching towards my husband's office.

"Hey wait, Sophia!"

But he grabbed my hand as I stopped right in front of the double wooden door.

"I just want to tell you something before you go inside. Nothing happened between them that night and Daniel didn't know she was there."

"But that didn't justify her for seducing my husband!" His mouth formed an 'O' shape. "Yes, nothing happened between, but she still slept in his suite and she didn't say anything to refuse my doubt about them that morning!"

With that, I didn't wait for his response as I breathe harshly and pushed the door in front of me. I didn't even bother to knock to surprise them inside. But what I didn't know, I will be the one to be surprised by my husband's reaction.

"Hi..." I said awkwardly, moving my eyes from him to the woman sitting in front of his desk.

They looked at me surprised and I didn't miss the way Daniel's lips curled a smile. But that only lasted for about three to five seconds as he changed his expression and act as if he's not excited to see me or doesn't care about me at all.
