Taming Mr. Cold And Arrogant

"Sophia?"

I couldn't help but smile at Andrew's shocked expression when he saw me at the restaurant of the hotel where they were checking in. 

"Hi, Andrew, what a coincidence!" I acted surprised as I stood up to greet him. 

"What are you doing here?"

"Oh, I have a competition to join here." He nodded. "You seemed so shocked that you see me."

"Ahm...no! I just didn't expect you to come. Anyway, does your husband know you're here?"

"Nope, I didn't inform him." I shake my head. "So where is he and why were you alone?"

"They are in a business meeting."

"They?"

"I mean, he's still in a business meeting with Ms. Enriquez at the executive floor of this hotel."

"You mean Chloe Enriquez of Enriquez Trading Corporation and one of his ex-girlfriend?"

"Y-Yeah, but don't worry, I assure you that the meeting is purely business."

I chuckled at him, shaking my head. 

"Andrew, you don't have to defend him in front of me. We are not a real couple and it's fine with me if he comes out again with all his ex-girlfriends." I said getting up and placed a cash on top of the table. "Anyway, I have to go, I still have rehearsals to do. Have a nice day, Andrew."

I didn't wait for his reply and turned immediately turned around, but I was just taking my third steps when ha called me. 

"Sophia."

I took a deep breath before turning around. 

"They have no relationship except than business partners. Well, yeah, Chloe still admits that she still loves Daniel, but he said he no longer has feelings for her."

"Andrew, it doesn't matter whether he still has feelings for her or whatever. We are getting divorced anyway."

"What the------"

"Goodbye, Andrew. Have a good day."

I immediately ran to the exit without looking back as I don't want him to see the pain and sadness in my eyes. 

Should I believe what he said? Does Daniel no longer has feelings for Chloe? But even then, he felt nothing for me either. 

Actually, I really don't know why I wanted to talk to him. I was hurt by his words but I still can't stop my heart from wanting and loving him.

Andrew's POV:

"Andrew, how's the schedule for our next meeting?"

Daniel asked me as I entered the room that he was occupying. 

"Well, it's already settled at 4:00 pm." I replied, taking a seat on a stool in front of the minibar. 

"Okay, good." He passed me the glass of scotch. 

"Thanks, dude."

I took a deep breath when he sat next to me. 

"Anyway, how's Sophia doing?"

His head snapped instantly at me when he heard the name of his wife. But there's something strange on the kind of look he gave me. 

"Why do you ask about her?"

I chuckled at his question. 

"Why, is there something wrong with asking about her?"

"She's fine and she's at home." He replied bringing the glass of his scotch into his mouth. 

"Hmm... at your home." I said nodding. "Do you remember the deal we talked about before you got married?"

"What deal?" He asked, frowning. 

I studied his face and think about what his whenever will be whenever I remind him of it. 

"That I am going to out with her after your divorce granted."

"What the hell! Are you f.u.c.k.i.n.g serious about it?" He asked me, narrowing his eyes and I didn't miss the way he gripped the glass on his hand. 

"Yeah, I told you I like her." I shrugged my shoulders and ignored the glare that he's giving me. 

"Tss!" He shook his head and drank all the remaining content on his glass. "Back off." He barely said a whisper so I had to ask him again to repeat what he had said. 

"What did you say?"

"I said back off!"

I was surprised when he raised his voice. 

"She's my wife and I'm not going to divorce her! So back off!"

"Whoa! I thought you were not serious about your marriage? And that was just a deal, an agreement, and a fake contract, that after getting Mr. Giovanni's signature, you will immediately file a divorce petition?"

He didn't answer my question, instead, he got up and walked into the counter to get a refill on his drinks. 

"So what happened with your 'she's nothing special' and 'she's nothing to me' lines, huh? Don't tell me you're in love with her?"

"Tss! What are you talking about? I have other reasons why I should not divorce her!" He avoided my gaze. 

"Really? Well, sorry but I don't believe you. What are your other reasons why you don't want to let her go except the truth that you love her? Don't make your business as an excuse because nobody would believe you."

"Why are we talking about her? Shouldn't we be discussing our business meetings here?"

"Well, I just want to tell you that I saw----" but my words were suspended in mid-air when we heard a very familiar voice behind. 

"Hi boys!"

We both turned to see Chloe walking towards our seats and holding a bottle of red wine. 

"Miss Enriquez, what are you doing here and how did you get into my room?" Daniel asked her, the annoyance was clearly written on his face. 

"Oh, come on, Daniel! Let's cut the formalities we are now in our private space and it's just the three of us! And as for your questions, of course, your bodyguards allowed me to enter your suite." She plunged her arms around Daniel's neck and gave him a loud kiss in his cheeks. 

"Stop doing that! Forgodsake, I'm married, Miss Enriquez!" He complained, removing Chloe's arms from him. 

"But she's not here!"

I just rolled my eyes mentally as I shook my head with what she said. That's what I was going to say earlier before she came in. I saw Sophia, Daniel's wife at the hotel's restaurant this morning. 

"I will tell you this once again, Miss Enriquez. Stop wasting your time on these things! I'm already married and I accepted this deal only because your father asked for my help! But if you don't stop with your childish behaviour, I will call your father and I will cancel all our projects with your company!"

"I'm sorry, I can't help it! You know that I haven't moved on yet from you! I still love you, Daniel!"

-'whew! This is getting more awkward than I expected. I hope Sophia doesn't see you in this situation. Huh! Good luck, dude!'-

Sophia's POV:

**'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't, you can't make your heart feel something it won't. Here in the dark, in this final hours I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power. But you won't, no you won't 'cause I can't make you love me if you don't...**

"Hey, Mr. handsome, can you fill my drinks please?" I called the bartender's attention as he also watched the band perform on the stage of the hotel bar. 

"Of course, Miss beautiful." He said smiling at me. 

"I love that song, it's heartbreaking." I muttered to myself but I didn't notice he had heard it. 

"Yeah, I love it too, especially the one who performs it." He said with a wide smile playing on his lips.
