After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#11 “You are so Much Better Off Without Him!”

Alexander and Emily step off the elevator, returning to Stone Enterprise. As they ride up, Alexander finds himself still pondering his curiosity about Sophia Johnson.

Upon reaching their floor, they are greeted by Laura, who stands by the elevator with a stack of papers in her arms.

“I have what you asked for, Mr. Stone,” Laura says, her voice professional and composed. Alexander nods to Emily, telling her he will speak with her later, and walks alongside Laura toward his office. Once inside, he settles into his chair while Laura sits across from him..

“So, tell me, when have Ms. Johnson and I crossed paths during the last five years? There must be some incident or encounter that led to her acting so abhorrently towards me,” Alexander asks.

Laura hands Alexander a neatly organized spreadsheet showcasing his and Sophia’s schedules over the past five years.

“As you can see, there is absolutely no overlap between your events and hers during this time. I even went a step further and explored potential connections through proxies, but again, there’s no evidence of any interaction.”

Alexander furrows his brow as he examines the report. His attention is drawn to a large black empty box in the middle of Sophia’s events.

“What is this?” he asks, pointing to the conspicuous void.

Laura leans forward, “Well, it’s rather peculiar. Sophia Johnson seems to have vanished completely from records for approximately three years. There are no records of any events attended or any other trace during that time.”
