Sophia was busy working in the office when she heard a commotion outside. She frowned and got up and opened the door.
Sophia stepped out and saw Jessica was shouting like a shrew and was trying to force her way into the office. Anna was trying to stop her but the poor girl was finding it hard to control Jessica.
"What the hell is going on here?", Sophia said angrily and both turned to look at her.
Sophia saw a red palm print on Anna's right cheek and her eyes turned angrier.
"Finally you are willing to come out. Why? Were you too ashamed to show your face earlier.", Jessica said feeling smug. Sophia didn't even look at her and this made Jessica fuming mad in jealousy at Sophia's high and mighty self.
"Anna go and get your face treated otherwise it will swell up.", Sophia said to Anna you nodded her head at her gratefully and apologetically as she couldn't stop the woman. Sophia gave her an assuring look and Anna left.
Sophia walked inside her cabin without saying anything to Jessica as she knew well that Jessica won't be able to calm herself and will definitely follow her and she was right.
Jessica saw Sophia turn and leave. She felt like she was slapped across her face by Sophia's attitude. Jessica stormed inside the office, stomping her feet.
Sophia sat on her chair and went on with her work. Jessica banged her bag on her table and Sophia looked at her frowning.
"What are you so proud of? Your fiancé didn't even marry you. You are just an abandoned bride yet you behave like some queen here. Who are trying to fool with your fake calmness?", Jessica blabbered non-stop and Sophia felt how can she talk so much rubbish with such haughty look.
"First of all this is my office not a fish market where you can come at will and shout. Second, didn't your so called lover boy tell you that I am already married? Oh wait, how could he say that because he was beaten up by my husband when he came to me and wanted to marry me.", Sophia said with no expressions and she continued, "But too bad I am not interested in a cheater. You both can go and roll around wherever you want."
Jessica gave Sophia a surprised look hearing her words. She thought Sophia would be feeling devastated after being abandoned but she is clearly not affected even a bit. Jessica couldn't accept this. She also realised that Liam still wanted to marry Sophia despite whatever happened and he didn't even tell her that she was already married.
"You got married? Who did you marry? Did you buy yourself a man to act as your husband?", Jessica said trying to find some solace thinking Sophia should have married a random man. She might have found a guy to act as her husband so that the Miller family's reputation could be saved.
"Who I married is none of your business.", Sophia said and stood up. She started walking towards Jessica and said, "But what you should be mindful of is that don't cross roads with me. Don't force me to come for revenge towards you and your manwh*re boyfriend, if he did give you at least that status."
Sophia stood in front of Jessica and she slapped her hard. Jessica looked at Sophia in disbelief as her left hand went to hold her cheek that was just slapped. Jessica raised her hand to slap Sophia back but Sophia held it in air and twisted it behind her back.
"Don't take me as a doormat that you can come and stomp on whenever you want. I gave you leeway before because I considered you a friend but that doesn't mean I am not capable of showing you your place.", Sophia said and pushed her hard.
Jessica stumbled on her high heels and balanced herself with much difficulty.
"That slap was for my assistant. You better start treating other people as humans otherwise you won't even know how you died. The slap that I gave you was a reminder.", Sophia spoke leaning herself against the table with her arms crossed on her chest.
"Now get lost and don't barge into my office like this ever again.", Sophia deadpanned and walked to her seat without caring about Jessica who was fuming.
Jessica walked out and slammed the office door on her way. Sophia ignored the incident and went on with her work as if it never happened.
During lunch time she received Daniel's call.
Sophia smiled looking at 'Hubby' flashing on her phone screen. He saved his number in her phone and held a satisfied smile at that time. Sophia looked curiously at what he was smiling at and felt amused at his antics.
"Hello", Sophia said picking up the call.
"Did you have your lunch?" , Daniel asked and Sophia didn't reply immediately and Daniel understood she hasn't.
"I will pick you up. Let's have lunch together.", Daniel said and Sophia happily nodded but then she realised he can't see her.
"Okay", Sophia said on the call and Daniel hung up in satisfaction. He picked up his coat and car keys and went to the garage and drove out towards Sophia's office.
Daniel soon reached Sophia's office and walked inside. He went towards the lift and reached the top floor soon. No one stopped him as no one dared to seeing his demeanour. He smoothly reached Sophia's office and knocked.
"Come in.", Sophia said and Daniel pushed the door open.
Sophia looked up from the file she was reading and saw Daniel enter.
"You are here.", Sophia said smiling at him and stood up leaving the files for later.
"Let's go.", Daniel said and Sophia nodded her head and grabbing her purse she walked out along with Daniel. Daniel held her palm in his hand and Sophia flinched a little, surprised by his hold but soon relaxed and tightened her grip on his hand, making Daniel's eyes brighten.
When they both walked out of the lift, hand in hand everyone around looked at their boss and the handsome hunk by her side. They knew their boss got married recently so they concluded that he was her husband. So the staff greeted them both and Daniel's face was calm and happy like arrival of spring unlike earlier when he has a cold look, and no-one dared to approach him or stop him.
