Mr. Chairman’s Devious Wife by Brey Mitchylle

Chapter 56 Apparently, that is not even important. Whoever it was that he was hiding from was not someone she should know. While Sofia had many assumptions, she also knew that Hugo would not verify anything o she chose to close her mouth and focus on the treatment. Sot eyed the large testing machine in front of her.

Hugo had mentioned sfancy names earlier, but at the end of the day, they were testing machines meant to test poison “We are ready,” Hugo said as he gestured for her to walk toward the patient bed, where they were going to give her the first dose of treatment. After the treatment, weakening of the body is normal. Callif something happens” “Something like what?” Alexander asked “If she were to start puking blood?” “No.” “Tam kidding, Only one mouse experienced that, but that was because it was already so old.” For sre sofia did not find that funny at all. She finally sat on the bed and stared at the various vials in front of her “Fever and muscle pam are the worst things that could happen to a human.” Hugo said. “Since the poison was still new to your blood, it did not cause any damage, so getting rid of it should be easy.” Soha nodded and lay down, her gaze fixed on the ceiling.

“Now, calm down. | will start with the treatment.” “Do you needto hold your hand?” Alexander suddenly asked as he stood beside her bed.

“Uhno” She was not really scared of needles or something like that.

“What do you mean, hold her hand? Do you think she’s a child or something?” Hugo rolled his eyes. Seeing Alexander's expression, Solia suddenly said. “Yes. | need you to hold my hand” She was not scared of the hospital or needles, but for sreason, she wanted to hold his hand! Almost immediately, Alexander's expression lit up like a child who just received his candy “How gross Hugo said.

“Isn't this why you are still single!” “Who told you that | am single?” Hugo fired back. “Alright. Hold each other’s hand. | will now start the treatment.” And just like that, the treatment finally started.

It took Sofia almost three hours before Hugo finally said it was done. This time, she already started feeling the fatigue that Hugo told her about Luckily, Alexander was with her.

“To be honest, | thought she would faint or something Hugo said. He was currently looking at ssamples of her blood in his microscope “It turns out, she is responding very well. Ah should | get more blood?” “You can try.” Alexander mumbled. He had been standing next to Sotia since the treatment started. Sofia asked him to leave or even find a chair, but for sreason, he refused to let go of her hand. In the end, he stood beside her for three hours straight! Actually, Sofa was starting to feel guilty. She never expected him to do this, but she also does not have the heart to tell him to stop Was she acting like a spoiled brat? 13 Chapter 56 Probably Was she like it? Definitely! “Alright. | will do it next time. Hugo said. He finally removed his eyes from the microscope and turned toward Sofa “I was night. It is easier to get rid of the poison since it is fairly new to your system. However, | would advise you to take a few days of rest as it could get tiring. | don’t want you fainting in the middle of your office. Your husband would probably killif that happened,” Hugo said.

Sofia said nothing. Instead, she tried to get up but immediately felt dizzy, Luckily. Alexander immediately helped her out. He caught her body, and instead of just helping her stand, he actually lifted her up into his arms! “Is that necessary Hugo asked. “We have some-" “We are leaving” said. “We will see you on the next treatment.” “Hmmmm...” Hugo med “Alright. You leave. | won't see you o What's with this man Sofia wondered inwardly. However, she seemed too tired to answer her own question. So, she closed her eyes and leaned against his chest. She thought of resting, perhaps taking a nap on their way home, but when Sofia woke up, she was already on the bed.

She blinked, her gaze on the familiar ceiling.

She was inside his room, she thought. She stared at the warm glow coming from the lamp next to her bed. Just as Hugo said. she was indeed feeling very tired. Still, her grumbling stomach stopped her from falling asleep. In the end, she slowly sat on the bed That was when she realized that Alexander was not inside the room. The spot next to her remained untouched.

Does that mean he chose to stay in the guest room tonight? Impossible. He had been sleeping next to her, and the two of them seemed to have a silent understanding that both of them were still not ready for a physical relationship, Was she wrong after all She looked at her phone that was placed on the bedside table and took it. Seeing the time, Sofia frowned. It was already two in the morning.

Does that mean he really slept in the guest room? But why does this bother her so much? She got up and wobbled toward her robe. Her stomach was grumbling, begging for her to eat anything. Slowly, she got out of the room and tiptoed toward the stairs. To her surprise, however, she heard Alexander's voice nearby.

It seems that he was talking to someone, A meeting? So, he was still in his office, working? “I understand...” Alexander said. “I have already checked the contracts, and | will get back to you very soon...

uhuh... yes. That would be perfect. My secretary will take care of everything. Yes About that project-" Sofia did not mean to eavesdrop, but for sreason, the more she listened to him, the more she wanted to listen to his cold voice. Slowly, she peeked into the small gap in the office door and found him in front of his laptop. He was sitting on the table, wearing his white shirt while having a cup of coffee.

2/3 11:42 sat, Mar 2 Chapter 56 So, he was indeed having a specting, but it was already two in the morning. Does this mean that his employees are still working at this time? Isn't this against the labor code or something? Still, this is no longer Sofia’s concern. She was about to continue walking toward the kitchen when her gaze landed on his face.

Currently, Alexander had a serious look on his face as he listened to someone's report. His lips were thinned, and his perfectly carved eyebrows were slightly furrowed, giving the impression that the report did not impress him.

Aside from this man’s very good skin, the structure of his face was very good too.

If he were not born wealthy, he would probably becsmodel and would be perfect for a magazine's center page. Being shirtless would suit him. She immediately debated if walking on a runway would suit him too.

He is tall and definitely someone that would look good wearing those clothes but the fact that other people would be staring at his body does not actually sound too go After all, he is alrea ried man.

“A penny for your thoughts?” a deep mellowed voice interrupted her stupor.
