Taming My Arrogant Husband

Chapter 108: Official sister-in-law!

I jolted in bed, eyes wide open as my hand started searching for something. My phone.

"Where is my phone? Oh, hell! What time is it?" I removed my blanket. Wait, blanket? Where did I get

it? I ignored the question and stood up looking for my damn phone. "Where is it?" I asked tapping my

forehead.

"I put it on the console table."

I turned around when I heard Nanay Emily's voice. I opened my mouth in confusion.

"You're looking for your phone, aren't you?"

I nodded.

"It's over the console table."

I nodded again but ignored what she had said. "What time is it, Nanay Emily?"

"It's seven o'clock in the---"

"Oh, God! I overslept! Did Daniel call me or has he already arrived?"

"No, he's not home yet, Anak." She replied shaking her head.

Disappointment filled my chest instantly. "Did he even call or sends a message?" I asked again walking

towards the console table where she put my phone. But I don't even have to hear her answer since my

phone screen has already shown me the answer.

"He called this morning..."

I felt my bones cracked when I turned 360 just to hear what she is about to say.

"He said he couldn't go home because one of their engineers had an accident and he had to stay in the

site to watch the ongoing construction----"

"W-Wait! Construction?" I asked raising my hand, completely cutting her off from speaking. "Since

when did he start personally supervising the company's constructions or projects? He is the CEO of KI

corporation and has employees who have been assigned to do it! And by the way, the last time I

checked, KI corporation is a manufacturing company, so what does he mean by that?"

"Ohh..."

I'm not sure if I really saw Nanay Emily's face turn pale while I was talking. "I-I... uhmm... maybe they

were constructing a new building or new outlet for their products! Yeah... maybe that's what he meant,

so he needs to stay in the site."

Huh? I wish I could say... 'Nanay Emily, you're also not good at lying. You stuttered.' But of course, I

have to keep it myself and just gave a smile.

"Ahh... okay," I said nodding.

"Do you want to have breakfast now? I will prepare them for you."

"No, Nanay Emily. Thanks but I think I'll just have breakfast at work."

"Are you sure? If you want, I can wrap them up so you can take them to work."

"I think that's a good idea. Thank you."

"Anyway, Rian has also called earlier, she's asking for you."

"What did she say?"

"She said she will visit you in the studio today."

"Did she tell you why?"

"She said she wanted to have girl bonding with you, just the two of you."

"Uhuh... okay, but why does she suddenly want to visit me and have bonding with me?"

"Well, I think that's for you to find out and for me to ask you afterwards." She shrugged and her lips

curled with the same smile she gave me last night, and what did Craig give me the last time.

Something is wrong!

But I have to shake them off and pretend I'm not intrigued by what's going on.

"I'm going to take a shower, Nanay Emily."

She nodded and I left her smiling in the living room. Even when I'm going up the stairs, I still feel her

stares on my back.

...................................

"And can you feel the love tonight? It is where we are. It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer, that

we've got this far..."

As long as I wanted to concentrate on my computer screen... I can't, because of Craig. He's been

singing the whole time since I entered the studio and even followed me inside the office.

At first, I ignored him. I thought maybe he's just happy and so full of energy today because of his

romantic date with Gavin yesterday... Rian's best friend.

But he kept singing like he was working in a music studio instead of a dance studio. He didn't even

think of my presence that he could disturb me... and take note... he's repeatedly singing the same

song, for heaven's sake!

"And can you feel the love tonight? How it's laid to rest?..."

He entered my office with a bouquet of purple tulips in his hands. As usual, I don't need to ask where

those flowers come from. He put them on top of the office drawer without giving me a glance.

I sighed, rolling my eyes before calling his attention.

"Craig..."

"... It's enough to make kings and vagabonds..."

"Craig..."

I called him a little louder as he continued to sing and didn't hear my voice... or maybe he was just

pretending not to hear me.

"..... Believe the very best----"

"Craig!"

That's it! I shouted his name that almost echoed in the four corners of the room which caught his

attention.

"Oops! I'm sorry, are you calling me?" He asked confused or pretending to be confused.

"Nah!" I shook my head. "I was just practising how to mention your name." then I gave him a sarcastic

smile. "What the hell is going on with you? Can't you see I'm working here?" I voiced out, raising my

eyebrow.

But I don't know why he just gave me a warm smile. What the hell?

"Are you sick?"

"Sick? What are you talking about? If I am sick, you wouldn't hear me singing the whole time."

"Oh, yeah! So you're not sick."

"No, I'm not."

"Then stop singing---- no---- screaming! Stop screaming because in case you didn't know, my ears are

now bleeding from hearing you scream the same song repeatedly since I entered the studio,

forgodsake!"

"But I am singing." He tried to defend himself.

"No, you're not! Please Craig, what is happening with you? I can't focus on my work!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm just excited about the party." He shrugged.

His answer made me chuckle sarcastically. "You mean, you're singing because you're excited? And

what party are you talking about?"

Then his eyes suddenly widened. He seemed shocked but he immediately masked it with a loud laugh.

The one who used by people to hide something or a very important thing.

"Party! Did I mention the word party?" I frowned. "Oh, yeah, I remember mentioning the word party!

Don't mind me, I'm just excited about Jasmine Kim's birthday party." He avoided my gaze and

pretended to be busy arranging the flowers. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

"Jasmine Kim?"

"Yes, Jasmine Kim! She's my favorite lead character in the TV series I'm watching every night. She's

turning 18 and I'm so excited about her debut celebration tonight."

"Ahh..." I said nodding as my eyebrow raises automatically. If I just didn't know he's also a fan of TV

series every night, I wouldn't believe him.

"Alright, I'm done with the flowers. I have to go. We are going to start rehearsing the new dance steps

that you made." He winked at me before running to the door.

"We're going to start rehearsing the new dance steps that you made...blah...blah...blah." I mimicked

and then turned my eyes back at the computer screen.

But it's not even an hour since he left the office when I heard his voice... and God... singing the same

song again.

".... And can you feel the love tonight?....."

"What am I going to do with him? Haist! Can anyone give me a duck tape?"

I looked up the time he exactly opened the door.

"My one and only gorgeous friend, you have a guest."

I frowned not because I have a guest, I already knew it since this morning, but because of the words,

he used to call me.

"Hi, my official sister-in-law!"
