Mr. Chairman’s Devious Wife

Chapter 20

Who would have thought that Sofia would end up spending the weekend holed up with Alexander? This time, the man slept in the guest room.

However, she was not prepared for what he did next. He asked to put his clothes in her closet. Sofia smiled before she grabbed the chamomile tea from the table.

“lam going to change houses very soon,” Sofia said. She felt that this place was too unsafe. There were too many memories surrounding this flat, and she did not like that.

She wanted to move on from that damnable relationship with Daniel and her sister. To do that, she needed to move to a new house. She took a quick sip and let herself immersed in the tea.

“Then what do you think of this?” Alexander suddenly handed her his phone as he rested his elbows on the couch. They were currently sitting in her living room, watching some cringey rom—com series that he insisted. on watching.

Perhaps, he thought that Sofia would like those kinds of movies. What he did not know was that she preferred watching something scary instead.

So, when she informed him about this, he quickly stopped the series, and the two started talking about the flat. He removed the popcorn from her lap and placed it on the coffee table before them. Then he leaned closer as he, too, stared at his phone.

By now, she had stopped feeling awkward about their close proximity. “What is this?” she asked, scrolling through the pictures of a flat.

“A flat, four bedrooms, gym, and all amenities, both indoor and outdoor pool, heated.” “This is in Azure building?” she asked. 115

“Yes.” Sofia lifted an eyebrow. She tried to get a unit in that place, but it was already sold out when she talked to the realtor. It was one of the best places in Springfield, not just because of the security but because it was located in the center of the city.

“You just bought it?” she immediately noticed the lack of decoration in the place. It was painted white, and there was a large couch in the living room. Aside from that, there was nothing there.

“| have never stayed in that place.”

“Then | will let my lawyer call you so we can prepare the ”

“lam not selling it,” he stated. She immediately lifted her eyebrow, her attention snapping back to him. “Then? Why show it to her?”

“We are already married.”

She did not know what to say to that. “Of course, if you have a problem with living together-”

“No problem....” Sofia interrupted him. She had signed that contract, and it was clearly stated that they were going to act their part. They have to live in one residence. The thought of the contract somehow made her blush.

For some reason, she could not help but think about the clause about consent. She wet her lower lips with her tongue before she turned her attention back to the flat. “Have you hired someone to design, it?” she asked.

“Not yet. You can take care of that.”

“You wanted me to-” she did not complete her words when she saw him nod. Then she smiled and nodded back. “Alright.” Perhaps he did this to make her feel better.

Right now, Sofia suspected that he was staying with her right now because he did not want her to be alone. He must have known how that betrayal affected her. Sofia appreciated his efforts.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Luckily for her, both Charlotte and Daniel never bothered her for the rest. of the weekend. They would send her occasional messages, and she would acknowledge it, telling them that she was busy, and the two would immediately wish her well before they stopped responding.

The annual shareholder’s meeting is buying her enough time. However, she did not know if she would be able to avoid them after the meeting.

“How are you planning to reveal the cheating?” Alexander suddenly asked out of nowhere.

“Reveal the cheating?” Sofia looked at his steady gaze. For some reason, this seemed to contain the assurance that she needed- the assurance that

he would be there behind her. “Are you not planning to do that?” he asked. “I did not see you as someone that... kind.”

Sofia chuckled this time. Perhaps, he already knew that it was Sofia herself who let someone release the images that the paparazzi took the other day. This means that he might have already heard about her plan.

“You just have to wait,” Sofia smiled. Earlier today, Sofia already saw Charlotte’s statement; it was the explanation about Sofia and Daniel. While she did not mention names, many of her fans have started digging into Sofia and Charlotte’s family. She was only waiting for someone to start the fire.

To her surprise, the fire that she was waiting for started the very next Monday. Sofia leaned back as she scrolled through the dozens of messages on the social media site, a smile apparent on her face.

“Miss... those words are completely false. | have already called our lawyers M

Reading the news and comments, Sofia was not able to stop herself from smiling. The Annual Shareholders meeting was upon them, so she already expected this kind of attack.

“There is no need to waste our time on this matter...” Sofia looked at her secretary. “But.”

Sofia shrugged and placed her phone down. “You may leave now,” Sofia said, smiling as she started reading the documents that Alexander’s secretary Josef sent.
