Mr. Chairman’s Devious Wife

Chapter 10

Chapter 10 Sofia’s eyes widened with amazement.

Before her, the skies seemed to be raining flowers—petals of vibrant colors gently cascading like a soft, fragrant shower. It was a breathtaking

scene.

Through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows of her office, she watched as the petals danced in the air—creating a magical atmosphere that momentarily lifted the weight of her anger. The vibrant hues contrasted against the backdrop of the cityscape, turning the scene into a dreamlike

panorama.

Sofia never thought that a gesture like this would somehow melt away her anger, but it did-she felt the tension and frustration of the day melt away. with each petal that gracefully twirled in the air.

“| already sent people to clean it all up, so there is no need to worry about garbage.”

Sofia blinked when she heard his voice, then she smiled. The fact that she was an environmentalist and had some charities that did recycling of trash was not a secret inside the company. However, she did not like to put all this in news and magazines. “Thank you.”

“Who would do something so senseless?” Sofia heard Daniel's voice not far away from her. “Aren’t they just throwing money?” “Perhaps a billionaire just got married?” Charlotte chimed in. “It was a romantic gesture.”

“A college trust fund baby showing off...” Daniel muttered before he turned towards his food once again.

Hearing this, Sofia had to stop herself from chuckling.

“| will talk to you later,” Sofia said.

“Hmmm... | will come get you at five.”

“I’ She was about to say that she would probably stay up late—as always, but he interrupted her.

“You just got married...” It was a reminder, an awkward one. After all, they were only married on paper. “I am taking you to meet someone.”

“Right...” Sofia nodded. She was immediately reminded that she was supposed to visit her mother very soon. “Laters then.” She quickly cut the call and went back to eating her chicken. “Business?” Daniel asked.

“Hmmm...” Sofia said without elaborating. The anger that she felt earlier was now completely gone. However, she still could not stop her chest from feeling heavy. The thought of the betrayal still gnawed at her like a persistent ache.

Sofia took a deep breath, trying to shake off the remnants of the heaviness that lingered within her as the petals continued their gentle descent outside her window, creating a serene ambiance that confrasted with the storm of emotions inside her.

Finally, lunch ended. When Charlotte told her that she was going to leave, Sofia did not stop her. However, she was not surprised when Daniel also told her that he needed to leave for another meeting. However, he promised to take her on a date after work. Sofia immediately refused this invitation.

Luckily, Daniel did not force her to, as he understood how busy she was because of the company. Alone in her office, Sofia immediately shifted her focus to the things that

she needed to do. She could not just let her emotions ruin her.

“Miss, Miss Karina Harmon is here.”

“Send her in...” Sofia immediately got up. She eyed the time and realized it was already a quarter past four. Time truly flies when one is busy. She straightened her pencil skirt and looked at the woman who walked inside her office.

“You look like a mess,” these were Karina’s words as she stepped inside.

Karina’s presence immediately brought a certain order into the room. For some reason, this felt like a stark contrast to the emotional turbulence Sofia was experiencing. Karina’s sharp, observant eyes took in the scene, and with a sigh, she closed the door behind her.

“| swear, Sofia, you attract chaos like a magnet,” Karina remarked with a wry smile as she approached her and pulled her into a hug. Then she placed her black bag on Sofia’s table and made herself comfortable on the chair. She then crossed her arms, her suit jacket impeccably tailored to fit

her frame.

“What is it this time? Did you and Daniel had another fight? | told you to leave that jerk, already.” Sofia sighed. She shook her head and walked towards the small bar. “Wine?”

“You drink while still working?” Karina asked. “Did you hit your head somewhere?”

“| need it,” Sofia calmly spoke. Karina and she had been friends since high school. They were tight but because of how busy their lives were, they had seldom seen each other in the past two months. “Want one?”

Karina eyed her, and then she nodded. “What happened?” M

Sofia said nothing. She then handed her a glass of wine. “You were right.”

Karina arched her eyebrow. “I thought | was always right?”

Sofia stared at her brown-eyed, brunette best friend as she leaned against her table. Then she let out a sigh. “Charlotte and Daniel just betrayed me.”

Almost immediately, Karina’s expression changed. She went from that professional yet languid woman in her last year of law school to the woman she once was when they were younger. “You- What did you just “She was about to get up, but Sofia already knew this would happen, so she immediately held the woman’s shoulder and pushed her back down the chair.

“Calm down...” Sofia said.

“Calm down?” Once again, Karina tried to stand up, but Sofia pushed her down. “You want me to calm down? Only seeing them in a hospital bed would calm me down! Those two-”

“lam planning on making them suffer,” Sofia’s words caught Karina off guard. The two had been friends for too long, and Karina knew that Sofia rarely uttered words like that.

younger.

The two had always been opposites since they were younger. Karina was the fiery troublemaker while Sofia was the calm one who preferred books and drawings over gossip.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

At one point, she wondered how they became friends.

“| will help you!” Karina immediately said. “What do you need? Shall | give you the number of a friend? | promise he doesn’t kill people.”

Sofia shook her head. She was tempted to knock some sense into this woman’s brain. How could someone who was about to graduate top of her class and was working as a paralegal in the top firm in Springfield say something like this? However, she was not surprised to hear Karina say

those words. “What?” Karin frowned.

“| need it to be slow and painful...” Sofia said before she finished the wine in her wine glass. She knew this was going to be a very long game, but Sofia was prepared to gamble everything just to make those people pay.

Karina’s expression turned serious. She pursed her lips as her eyes met Sofia’s. “What do you need me to do?” Karina asked.
