Taming Mr. Cold And Arrogant

I am about to open the door but I remembered something to tell him. 

"Hey, Daniel Kelley! You're not a good actor, sweetheart." He looked at me frowning. "Your acting skill is so terrible, it sucks! But don't worry, I still love you even if you don't get an acting award."

I didn't miss how the look of surprise registered in his eyes before I finally opened the door and left them inside.

"I don't understand your dramas, Sophia Yzabelle!"

Craig said, rolling his eyes at me. He was sitting in my chair in my office while I was on the couch. 

"Well, I also don't understand it, if Andrew didn't tell me the truth."

"But why would he pretend, I mean, for what? Hello! What will he get on pretending?"

"I don't know." I shrugged. "But whatever his reason, I will never give up this time. Even when he pushed me, I will just go back and show him that I love him and I'm ready."

"Forgodsake! The problems, the issues and the traumas of the past were over, but now the drama between you two began! Haha... how will you be able to be together if you both have a huge ego?"

A smile crept on my lips as I remembered that it was what my mother had told me before I decided to go back to Los Angeles. 

"At first, he was the one chasing you until the issue about your ex-fiance's came in line, and because of that everything you had and the relationship that was just starting to bloom suddenly disappeared. You followed him in San Diego but nothing happened, and he followed you to Italy because you ran away----"

"Hey, I didn't run away! You know that I have to go there because ---"

"Let me finish my statement, girl!" He glared at me. 

"Fine!" I huffed. 

"As I was saying, he followed you to Italy, he did everything for you, he helped your family but you just pushed him to go back. And now that you're the one who chases him, he's the one who kept rejecting you! What the f.u.c.k! Are you just going to chase and push each other away until forever?"

"Of course not! I promise I will find out why he's doing this."

"So what is your next plan? Are you going to let your in-laws or even Rian to know you're back?"

"No! I think it's better if they didn't know about it. You know how stubborn Rian is, and I'm sure she will do everything to annoy her brother."

"Of course, I know, but didn't you like it? She will bother him to the point that he will stop his act of ignoring you."

"No, I want to do it on my own, besides, we are old enough to ask his little sister's help especially that there is Chloe the bitch who always comes in our way."

"Oh, forgodsake, Sophia! She better pray that our paths don't cross because I swear, I'll skin her alive!"

I couldn't help but chuckled as he slammed his hands on the table. I told him everything that happened this morning in Daniel's office and even our previous encounter in the past. 

"Don't worry, I've already given her my power slap."

"That's not enough, girl! You should break her neck and throw her head out of the glass window of your husband's office!"

"Oh, my God, that's too harsh! Are you going to make me a murderer?"

"Then let me do it! I promise to tear her whole body into pieces!"

I just laughed at him, shaking my head. 

As I watched him frowning and banging his fists on the table, I realized how lucky I am to have him as my partner, my assistant and my best friend all these years. 

I admit, he was my number one bully when it comes to my decision making, he was the first to laugh at me in the morning every time I woke up with a bird's nest in my head, but he was also my protector like Bryan, my shoulder to cry on and sometimes act tough as a straight man when a time like this comes. 

I may not always say the word 'thank you', but I know that deep inside him he knows how important he is to me.

The following morning at KI Corporation... 

"Good morning, Denise!"

"Good morning, Ma'am Sophia. The CEO is inside his office, do you want me to call him and inform him that you're here?'

"No, Denise!" I said stopping her from dialling the intercom, then I placed the paper bag over her desk. "I'm not going to talk to him today."

"Huh? But why? I thought----"

"Can you just give this to him? It's only twenty-five minutes before his lunch break and just tell him to eat this food. Also, tell him that I was the one who cooked all of it with love and love and love!"

She chuckled when I joined my fingers in a heart form and placed them over my c.h.e.s.t. 

"Don't you want to see him?"

"Trust me, Denise, I really wanted to see him, hug him and kiss the hell out of him, but since he was pretending that he doesn't love me or even miss me, then I think it would be better to be this way. I'll bring him food but I won't show myself until he admits his feelings again."

"Ohh... and the best way to show your love is by bringing him food." She said nodding. 

"Yup, and may I add... they say the quickest way to a man's heart is through his stomach."

"Wow, I like it, Ma'am Sophia! Don't worry, I'll give this to him before his lunch break."

"Thank you, Denise, and by the way please also tell him that I love him." I winked. 

"Ohh... so sweet!" She pouted and I chuckled. "Okay, I will tell him that you love him very much!"

"Thanks again, Denise. I have to go, I still have an appointment this afternoon."

"Take care, Ma'am Sophia." She waved goodbye before I walked towards the elevator.

Secretary Denise POV:

I saw my boss typing on his laptop when I entered his office. He didn't even spare me a glance so he didn't also notice the brown paper bag in my hands. I walked to the couch and was about to put the bag when I heard his voice. 

"I don't remember calling you, Denise----what is that?"

"Paper bag, Sir." I smiled but he frowned. 

"I know that's a paper bag, but what is inside that bag?"

Maybe if I weren't used to being this cold and a bit arrogant of him sometimes, I'd probably run out of his office and never come back until he called me again. 

"Ohh, this bag contains your lunch, Sir." I continued to smile. 

"But I didn't order food----"

"This came from your wife, Mr. Kelley." That made him strengthened his seat. 

"My wife?"

"Yes, Sir and she told me to bring you this food before your lunch break. She also said that she was the one who cooked all of them for you---

"But I don't have a wife, Denise, so what are you talking about?"

-'whoa! Amnesia or dementia? Forgodsake, Ma'am Sophia was right!'-
