Mr. Chairman’s Devious Wife by Brey Mitchylle

Chapter 18

Daniel impatiently waited in front of the elevator, looking at his phone as he once again attempted to dial Sofia’s number. Earlier, he had to meet. someone from Southeast Asia and was not checking his phone for any showbusiness news.

However, he was here not because he wanted the scandal to vanish but because he aimed to coax Sofia and spend more time with her.

Of course, this plan changed when he received a text from Charlotte. Nonetheless, Daniel had already bought some flowers with him, thinking it would be a waste not to at least give them to his girlfriend.

Daniel immediately got inside the elevator; however, his eyes widened just as it was about to close. Josef? Why would Josef come here?

He opened the elevator doors and tried to call Josef, but the man was gone. Was he… hallucinating?

more work.

While complaining inwardly, a part of him liked it. He wanted to prove himself to the board and thought working hard was the best way to do it.

Quickly, he pressed the floor where Sofia’s flat was located. Although he had asked her to move in with him, she refused, as this flat was a cherished gift. She preferred the quiet space for her work – a seemingly stupid reason, yet completely understandable.

Daniel walked out of the elevator and immediately entered the password on Sofia’s door.

When she did not open the door after a few seconds, he pressed the doorbell again… and again.

Was she not home? No. It was the weekend. She would usually spend time in her house or office, and he had already called her office. She was not in the building. Sofia had always been a homebody, preferring her designs. over talking to people.
