Comment a lot in this chapter. I want your opinion.

It was night time; around 8 o'clock, and as usual, Brad was not home from work.
So, since no was here, I walked around the house with nothing on but a bra, underwear, and a shower robe over it. I had been tired lately, but Brad said that was because I was pregnant.
Walking into the other room, I heard the house phone ring so I answered it.
"Hello, this is Rodriguez residence," I said as I held the phone to my ear.
"Hey, is this Mrs. Rodriguez?" I heard a voice ask.
"Yes," I confirmed.
"Ma'am, this is Will. You have to come to Brad's workplace now. He's yelling at all the workers. It's really bad, Miss. It's not just yelling, something's ticked him off," Will explained.
"What happened?" I gasped.
"His father showed up today while the company was on some bad times. I don't know if you know or not, but a couple of days ago, Brad lost a couple business deals because one of the ambassadors for us did not do their job correctly. Boss almost fired him, but he had mercy. But because of all this, his father is not really happy at all right now. I think Brad is hitting his breaking point so please come now," he said, in a rush.
"Oh my goodness, don't worry. I'm on my way," I replied, running through the house to throw on my shoes and clothes. I was really worried at this point. What could be so stressful that had Brad on the edge? I know my husband, and even though he has very low tolerance, he does not let anyone get the best of him. The only one who really sees the emotional side of him everyday is myself so something was definitely wrong.
Obeying Brad's orders, I took Mister P with me to his job.
"Miss, why are you in a hurry?" He asked.
"I'll explain later, hurry," I said, breathing heavily as I got in the car, trying to throw on my shoes because I never got ready fully in the house.

I ran to the front desk just to encounter a lady laughing and talking on the phone instead of doing her job. But I was patient, and I waited. But five minutes turned into ten minutes, and finally I just said, "Ma'am, I'm sorry to interrupt you, but I'm Mrs. Rodriguez, Brad's wife, and I'm in a bit of a hurry so could you give me a visitor badge and the room number of your boss?"
"Miss, I'm sorry but I can't just let you through-"
"It's okay, Ashley. She's with me on urgent matters. Come on, let's go," I heard Will say from behind me, in a rush.
Before you knew it, we were on our way to the office that Brad was in. As we walked down the halls, I noticed how beautiful all the rooms were: chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, bright colors to accompany the posters on the wall, and a smell of flowers in all the room to make the rooms smell immaculate.
I looked around myself and I could not help but like my surroundings. How could someone be stressed at a place like this? Surely, something really bad had to be happening.
Finally, we go to Brad's office, and suddenly, I hear yelling coming from inside the office.
"Why are these files not done right?! Get out of my face! Leave! You can't even do simple instructions! Just leave!" I heard Brad scream from out the room and my heart broke. You could tell this was more than a bad day. Events from the previous days had been building up and that's what is causing this stress.
I ran into the room, apologizing to some business man who my husband yelled at, "Sir, I am so sorry. He doesn't mean it, and he's just stressed." Then I looked at Will, and I told him, "Demand everyone to leave the room. He needs a break, and that's the only way that he will calm down."
