Chapter 91: Soon to be ex-wife
Chapter 91: Soon to be ex-wife
"Hi, Ms. Del Mundo."
I turned to look at Chloe who wears her most fake smile ever.
"So you came back in Los Angeles, I thought you will stay in Italy forever? What are you doing here?"
"Hello to you, Ms. Enriquez... yeah, I'm back. I've decided to come back and stay in Los Angeles
forever. And as for your question, I think I should ask you the same thing, what are you doing here?"
Copying her fake smile, I started walking towards Daniel's table.
"We are currently in a meeting, Ms. Del Mundo."
But I stopped as soon as I heard what Daniel said.
"Ms. Del Mundo, I thought I am Mrs. Kelley to you?"
It hurts to hear that he addressed me with my maiden name but I have to pretend as if I wasn't affected
in front of him because the bitch is watching.
"It doesn't matter whatever he called you, we are in a very important meeting, so if you're done talking-- Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
--"
"I am talking to my husband and not you, so shut up will you?"
I heard her gasp but I turned my eyes to Daniel who has an expression I couldn't even understand.
"I need to talk to you----"
"She's right, Sophia. We were discussing our partnership before you came in. I think we can talk about
your purpose of coming here in some other day."
'Our partnership' whether it is about business or personal matter, I am afraid to ask.
"But I need to talk you right now, sweetheart."
I saw the surprised look in his eyes but I didn't understand why he had to cover it.
"How important is it that you can't wait for some other day to discuss it with him?"
If ever looks could kill, I swear that within five seconds, you will find the lifeless body of this annoying
woman floating in the middle of the Pacific ocean!
"I love you. I love you, Daniel Kelley and I'm willing to marry you again and live with you forever. It
doesn't matter if you don't have a ring as long as I have you."
A few seconds have passed but I still haven't received any response from him.
"I said I love you---"
"I remembered proposing you last month and you said you can't be with me and you told me to go
back----"
"Yes, but I'm here and I'm ready." Hope and excitement were evident in my voice only to be faded with
his next statement.
"I can see that, but I'm sorry to tell you that I am now no longer ready for that commitment."
"W-What?"
"And I'm glad that you refused my offer so I had time to think about it properly."
"But you said you will wait for me?"
I didn't miss how Chloe's eyes lit up when she heard Daniel's confession.
"But you told me not to wait for you, so I didn't."
"Daniel..."
"Look, Sophia, this is not the right time and place to talk about this matter. Ms. Enriquez and I still need
to discuss about our new project. So, if you'll excuse us, you can leave now and let's just talk about this
in my free my schedule, or if you want you can talk to Denise for an appointment."
"Appointment? Why should I need to ask for an appointment? You are my husband and I am your wife-
--"
"Soon to be ex-wife, Ms. Del Mundo." He didn't even spare me a glance and opened the folder in front
of him.
"But I thought----"
"Didn't you hear what he said, Sophia? If I were you, I will leave right now and go back where I come
from! You're just wasting your time!"
I took a deep breath to control my temper and to calm the dragon inside me not to swallow this bitch.
"Then why didn't you do it?" I asked forming my fists. "One word! Another word comes from your mouth
and I swear to cut your tongue and throw it out the window right behind you! So if I wear you, I would
shut up and would not interrupt the conversation with which you have nothing to do!"
Her eyes widened and her face turned pale in shock.
"I don't tolerate violence inside my office, Ms. Del Mundo!" Daniel said firmly, but that's the least of my
concerns right now and I don't care about that woman.
"If you can't talk to me right now, then I'll just wait for you outside after your meeting."
"I can't, I still have another meeting after this."
"Then I'll wait until you finish your meetings---"
"I have meetings until 11:00 pm."
"Until 11:00 pm? But it's already late----okay, then I'll wait for you!"
"Go home and don't wait for me!"
"All right. I'll wait for you at home."
He looked at me, raising an eyebrow but I chose to ignore it.
"I'll wait for you at home and cook dinner so that if you---"
"I already sell the house."
"What? What do you mean you already sell the house?"
"My house. I already sell my house when I came back from Italy."
"But what about Nanay Emily and Tatay Berto----"
"They are not your parents and it's none of your concern! And as I said it's 'MY HOUSE'. I can do
whatever I want and you have nothing do with it."
"Y-Yeah, right." I said nodding.
Suddenly, I felt all my strength slowly creeping out of my body. All the confidence I have before coming
here this morning has been drained.
"So, if you have nothing to discuss, you can leave now, Ms. Del Mundo."
He didn't wait for me to say anything before flipping the folder and discuss their projects. Chloe sent me
a winning smirk, crossing her legs while pretending to listen to him.
"I have to go. I think I'll just have to set an appointment with your secretary."
I waited for him to answer or to give me even give me a glance, but he didn't, so I had no choice but to
turn back and walked towards the door.
I turned the knob and opened the door, but not after giving him a last glance. Why do I feel that there's
something wrong with the way he talked to me? Why doesn't heart believe with the reactions and
words he gave me?
"What happened?"
"What happened?"
I gasped in shock when Andrew and Denise asked me at the same time the moment I closed the door.
They were standing outside as if they were really waiting for me to come out with a smile.
"What the hell are you two doing? You startled me!" I playfully snapped at them as I put my hand over
my chest.
"Oops, I'm sorry, Ma'am Sophia. I thought you already noticed us earlier." Denise exclaimed, giving me
an awkward smile.
"So, what happened? Did you slap the bitch?"
I sighed loudly before shaking my head at Andrew.
"It's okay, you can always do that in some other time."
"That's not the point, Andrew, he doesn't want to talk to me."
He pulled me towards his office and I started to tell them what happened.
"What the hell! Did he really tell you those things?"
I nodded, but my eyes widened when he slammed his hands on the desk and rushed towards the
door.
"Hey, where are you going?" I got up immediately to chase him and blocked his way.
"I'm going to snap that bastard's head! How dare him tell you those nonsense things, how did he get
them? I remembered last week when he's drunk, he told me how he missed you, how he loves you and
he said he feels like hell not seeing you, but now he fucking lied to your face! I swear, I'm gonna crack
his balls and cut his dick........"
