"Hello, two dozens of wine..."

Sophia never thought that this world could be so ridiculously small.It was as if she could see that man as soon as she raised her head.

The moment she pushed open the door, she saw Patrick, who was sitting at the head of the table.

Tonight, he was dressed in a black suit, and his thick black hair was set with wax.

He looked steady and striking.

His eyebrows were slightly knitted because of the dazzling overhead light, but that did not affect the aristocratic aura from his chiseled face.

He was smoking, and she could not see Patrick's expression in the haze.

Adriana was sitting beside Patrick.She happened to glance at the door and saw Sophia.

Adriana seemed to have been struck by lightning.

She froze, and her face registered disbelief.

'How could it be her?' Adriana thought.

"Sophia?' Someone at the table exclaimed.

All the good friends who knew the relationship between the three people looked at Patrick, sitting at the head of the table.

They didn't know what to do.

The excitement brought about by the birthday celebration quickly turned to ice because of the appearance of Sophia.

It was so quiet that even a falling needle could be heard.

The strobe lights overhead slowly centered on Patrick.

He was wrapped in warm light, and it accentuated his body's cold and hard edges.He looked at Sophia indifferently.

No matter where she went, she could feel the intense light in his eyes, as if he wanted to burn her whole body.

Sophia felt guilty for no reason when she saw Patrick looking at her.

At this moment, the most embarrassing thing in her heart was not meeting her ex-husband and his fiancee.

She was most worried about whether she could continue working in Evans Enterprise.

If she remembered correctly, the Evans Enterprise employee handbook clearly stated that employees, including contractual ones, were forbidden to engage in any form of part-time work.

Although she needed to work for the person she disliked the most, she did not want to give up this high-salary job because she wanted to be financially stable.

But, after tonight, the peace she wanted to protect would be broken.

It was only because his eyes reflected too many emotions.It was as if he wanted to do a lot of things at the same time.

So be it to ridicule her, ask her questions, or be indifferent.
