Being Pursued By Ex-husband
Chapter 142
Samuel was slightly disappointed in Alexander upon seeing that the latter was still standing rooted to the ground when Sophia had left. “Why didn't you seize such a good opportunity?”
Alexander stared at Samuel coldly and pursed his lips. “Be a human, Samuel.”
You're the one who wanted to chase me out when you were playing poker just now.
Samuel felt guilty after realizing what he had done. “I was just joking.”
“Haha!”
Alexander snorted coldly before wheeling around to leave. However, something shiny on the ground caught his eye.
He paused momentarily before bending to take a closer look. There was a sparkling diamond stud earring on the mat.
Alexander picked it up. After staring at it for a while, he took out a handkerchief from the pocket of his pants and wrapped the earring in it. Then, he carefully placed it back into his pocket.
It was Sophia's stud earring.
Sophia only realized the stud earring on her right ear was missing when she was showering. She could not help but frown as the pair of stud earrings was a birthday gift from Katherine. Katherine had personally designed and made them.
If one used a magnifying glass to check the stud earrings, one would be able to see the letters S and Y on the right and left stud earrings respectively. They were her initials.
She had been to a few places that day, so she had no clue where she had dropped her earring.
Besides, it was a small item. Even if she knew where she had dropped it, she might not be able to find it back.
She let out a sigh.
Perhaps because she lost her earring, she did not sleep well that night and had a nightmare. She was sweating profusely when she woke up.
She thought she had slept for a long time, but when she looked at the time, she found that only two hours had passed.
After turning on the night lamp, she got off the bed to pour herself a glass of water. She took a sip and felt it was rather cold. “Genie, boil some water.”
“Yes, Ms. Yarrow.”
After that, she fell asleep again and enjoyed a dreamless sleep that night.
The sky was already quite bright when she woke up the next day. She pulled open the curtains, and the dim sunlight of the dawn poured into her room. Sophia narrowed her eyes.
She had a morning meeting that day.
When she finished the meeting, it was already eleven o'clock. Sophia walked out of the conference room and glanced at Yvonne. “How's Magic Sense recently?”
Yvonne reported Magic Sense's current situation in a simple and concise manner. Sophia nodded in response. “Help me set a meeting with Robert next week.”
It was time to talk about the second round of investment.
“Understood, Ms. Yarrow.”
Since she did not sleep well the previous night, Sophia decided to return home and take a nap. She responded to Yvonne with a nod. “I'll leave first.”
“Sure.”
Yvonne had been swamped with work recently, so Sophia did not let her send her off.
As soon as Sophia walked out of the office building, she heard someone call her name.
Sophia turned her head and saw a man holding a black umbrella standing beside a Porsche not far away from her. He was staring at her with a half-smile.
Sophia had a good memory, so she quickly recalled that the man was Horatius.
Arching a brow, she held an umbrella and walked over. “Mr. Swain?”
Horatius lowered his gaze to look at her. “It's been a long time, Sophia.”
She smiled. “Long time no see.”
Indeed, the last time they saw each other was two years ago.
“My secretary told me your secretary had rejected my invitation a few days ago. May I know why? Am I losing my touch?”
At first glance, Sophia knew that Horatius was an unruly man.
Thus, she was not surprised to hear that from him.
Sophia's lips curled as she replied calmly, “Mr. Swain, this is a misunderstanding. I never participate in those banquets. You should know who Suny is. Many people in the industry don't even get to know my identity.”
Horatius cocked his brows. “So, you're saying that I've benefited from Dad?”
She smiled at him in reply. “You amuse me, Mr. Swain.”
He reached out to hand her the invitation card. “Don't worry. I won't expose you. You must feel relieved now, right?”
Horatius was a hassle to deal with. Sophia knew that if she rejected him at the moment, he would cause trouble for her in the future.
She was not afraid of him. Although he seemed fearless, she knew he would leave her alone, albeit angrily, with just a word from Darrell.
However, Sophia did not want to escalate the situation. “Fine.”
She took the invitation card, and he smiled in satisfaction. “Let's go. We haven't seen each other in such a long time. Let me treat you to a meal.”
“I'm sorry. I didn't sleep well last night, so I'm planning to go home to take a nap.”
When one interacted with someone like Horatius, being tactful would not work.
However, Sophia did not expect that being straightforward did not work either.
“You still have to eat something even if you're planning to take a nap. Don't worry. Let's have a meal together, and I'll send you back after that. Hop in.”
Sensing his determined attitude, Sophia had no choice but to relent. “My car is over there.”
“I thought you said you didn't sleep well? You don't need to drive, as I can drive you. If you're worried that you won't have a car tomorrow, I can send you to work too. What do you think?”
She glanced at him and did not reject him. “You don't have to do that.”
“No worries. It's a trivial matter!”
With that, he pulled open the door, and Sophia got in the car after keeping her umbrella.
She almost dozed off in the car. When the car stopped, she realized that Horatius had brought her to Mirage.
It was a location where it was easy to bump into familiar people.
