COLD

Chapter 39 Sophia found out.

Reagan took the last sip of his wine before walking back into his room. He locked the door but he didn't see Sophia. He laid on the bed and brought out his laptop to work when he heard the shower stop running.

The door opened and Sophia stepped out in a black net-like dress that stopped on her thighs. She smiled when she saw Reagan on the bed.

" Reagan, it's night already, why are you still working instead of spending time with me?" Sophia asked as she seductively walked towards the bed.

" Something came up, how about you come to the office tomorrow, I'll take you to have lunch at Ace restaurant." Reagan said, his eyes never leaving his laptop's screen.

' Can't you just look at me for a second, I put in so much effort to look this good so you won't be able to resist me.' Sophia shouted in her head. Reagan didn't even spare her a look.

" But darling, night time is a time to spend with your wife." Sophia said as she sat in front of him and closed the laptop, making Reagan look at her.

" I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you tomorrow." Reagan replied.

" Don't you want me?" Sophia asked and who wouldn't understand what she meant.

Reagan sighed." I think we should pause on that for now, I'll let you know when I'm ready."

' No, no, no!' Sophia shouted in her head. This is a big problem now.

Sophia stood up, looking rejected as she walked towards her side of the bed and sat down.

" Com'on, I'll make it up to you tomorrow, ok?" Reagan asked when he saw her sad look.

" Ok." Sophia replied as she slipped into the bed. She unlocked her phone and checked the new messages she received.

' Ma'am, we followed him closely but we didn't find anything.'

' Keep following him and tell me if you find anything.' Sophia replied to the message. She turned off her phone and placed in on the bedside table before going to sleep.

When Reagan finished his work on his laptop, it was already 11pm. He stood up and stretched his legs before laying back on the bed.

He drew the bed cover and covered himself. His hand was empty, so was his heart. He looked at Sophia and didn't feel like holding her.

Reagan kept turning on the bed and he couldn't fall asleep until it was 1am in the morning. At 7am, he was already in the bathroom, taking a hot bath. The temperature had dropped over night, showing signs of winter.

Reagan wore a grey suit with a black long sleeve shirt. He wore a black coat that reached his knee as he took his phone and walked out of the room.

He got into the back seat as Blake drove off. Snow covered some parts of the road as they drove towards the company.

Reagan was looking through some files Blake gave him when he noticed one of them was missing.

" Blake, the files are not complete." Reagan said.

" I brought them from your office." Blake said then paused." I remember the last time Mrs Stella came to your office, I saw her leaving with a dark blue covered file."

Reagan turned the file and looked at it, the cover was dark blue." That file contains important things about the company, get it before tomorrow, I'll be needing it for our next meeting." Reagan replied as he picked up the another file.

After Reagan got down from the car, he walked into his elevator and went straight to his office. Pushing open the door, he saw someone unexpected.

" Long time no see." Adriana said as she stood up from his chair and walked towards him.
