Being Pursued By Ex-husband
Chapter 36
It was time to leave, and Sophia, Natalie, and Joachim were still bidding their farewells. Subsequently, they bumped into Alexander coincidentally.
Decked in a black suit and pants, Alexander had a trace of surprise on his face — an expression not normally shown to others — when he noticed the group. “Ms. Thompson.”
His gaze fell on Natalie's face for one second before switching to Sophia's.
As Alexander focused his gaze on Sophia, his facial expression was a little cold.
After Sophia exchanged a glance with him, she lowered her gaze, avoiding him. Then, she smiled at Natalie and took a step to leave. “Ms. Thompson, I'll be leaving now.”
Natalie nodded and watched Sophia's back until she disappeared in the distance. After that, Natalie turned to look at Alexander. “What a coincidence, Mr. Xenos.”
Alexander's brows creased. “Ms. Thompson, aren't you awfully familiar with my ex-wife?”
Natalie knew what Alexander meant. She flashed him a smile before answering, “Why not? I really admire Ms. Yarrow.”
Her words indirectly confirmed Alexander's claim. At her words, Alexander's eyes darkened. He watched Natalie nod at him in politeness and left with his secretary.
As Joachim watched the man leave, he asked, “Mom, is that man Ms. Yarrow's ex-husband?”
Natalie turned her head to face her son. “Yes. Did you see that? A scumbag will look like a decent human, but they always act scummy. I don't want you to be like him. I want you to grow up and be a good man, you hear me?”
Joachim scowled in disdain. “Sure. Moreover, I think nobody in their right mind wants to be a scumbag.”
Natalie smiled in satisfaction. Then, a sudden thought occurred to her. “Didn't you dislike it when I use my connections for you?”
Joachim's ears reddened. “It's fine if it's once in a while.”
At the end of the day, Natalie was still Joachim's mother. She knew him all too well.
Natalie also thought of reminding him, but she changed her tune after giving it some thought. “Ms. Yarrow isn't your average woman, you know.”
Joachim didn't think his mother would see right through him. Instantly, he was red-faced with embarrassment. “Mom! What nonsense are you spouting?”
“Okay, okay, I'll shut up.”
Meanwhile, Sophia didn't know she had just obtained a new and young admirer. After she parted with Natalie, she headed straight to the parking lot, got in her car, and drove back to her mansion.
As for Alexander? Sophia upheld her promise. After all, she had said she would treat him like a stranger, so that was what she would do. So, there was no reason she should say hi to a stranger.
That night, Sophia told Katherine about Joachim and reminded her to prepare a contract and send it to him.
Katherine, the psychic, stared at her in amusement. “Soph, don't tell me you're a young and hot guy collector? Why do the young and hot men you hire for your company come from influential families?”
Sophia raised her eyebrow. “Hmm? Do you want me to inform Joshua that you personally hired James?”
Upon hearing that, Katherine backed down.
“Soph, I was wrong. Please don't.”
Sophia chuckled. “I'll hang up now.”
“No, wait! Soph! Please attend the Shining Stars Awards ceremony that will be held in the middle of the month. After all, everyone now knows that you're the boss of Specter Entertainment. Please come. I need you to be my support that day!”
Katherine knew how to deal with Sophia. All she would have to do was act cutesy. If it didn't work, then she had to throw a tantrum. Nevertheless, these tactics of hers always worked on Sophia.
Moreover, Sophia knew that if she didn't acquiesce to Katherine's demands, the latter would most probably pester her until she did.
“Only this once.”
“Love you, Soph!”
After hanging up the phone, Katherine smiled smugly at Jonice. “Jonice, what did I tell you? See, Soph said yes! Hurry and pay up! Ten! Transfer it to me.”
Exasperated, Jonice said, “Why do you want Ms. Yarrow to come so badly? She's not even a celebrity. Why do you care so much about what Elise Gardner and the others said? Let them say what they like.”
Katherine grimaced. “You don't understand. If one has never seen an angel, one'll never know when one of them walks among them.”
All of a sudden, Jonice was rendered speechless.
Some time ago, Thalia maliciously spread rumors of Sophia being a sugar mommy to a young man. As the rumors circulated, some people started to add fuel to the fire by saying that it was, in fact, a marketing tactic for Sophia to become a celebrity. These fake news had been popping up sporadically on the internet.
The allegation was so ridiculous that even the netizens couldn't believe it. Why would Sophia, a boss of a company, be a celebrity who would depend on the complicated yet colorful world of the entertainment industry for money when she could be her own boss?
However, some netizens posted their conspiracy theories about the whole incident. They claimed that Sophia wanted to turn herself into a global star and make money out of it.
After her divorce from Alexander, the web traffic and searches on her kept increasing daily. At this moment, Sophia kept topping the trending chart as the most searched person, which the other celebrities dearly wanted but failed to achieve.
Those with such opposing views were not too many, but it was not a small number either. Hence, Katherine's competitors, who wanted to make Katherine look bad, slandered Sophia too.
