After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

Chapter 32

#32 “Sophia is A Force to be Reckoned with.”

After parting ways with Michael, Sophia continued her day at the hotel. Little did she know, Michael’s encounter with her had an unexpected outcome.

Watching Sophia walk away, Michael found himself crossing paths with Emily Williams within the bustling corridors of the hotel. A smile crosses his lips. He couldn’t help but seize the moment to engage in some playful banter, his tone flippant as he teased her.

“Well, well, if it isn’t Alexander’s girlfriend. Waiting here for a romantic date, I assume?” Michael says as she slides up alongside Emily.

Emily’s cheeks flushed a faint shade of pink, a mix of embarrassment and surprise sweeping over her features. Stammering, Emily replies, “I-what? No, I’m not his girlfriend. I’m here for something else entirely.”

Michael’s eyes sparkled mischievously, the bouquet of vibrant flowers in his hand that Sophia had rejected. He presents it with a dramatic flourish. With a grin, Micheal replies, “Ah, so you’re saying you’re not here to sweep him off his feet?”

Emily’s initial embarrassment morphed into amusement; her voice laced with a touch of sarcasm. “Oh, absolutely. I’m just here to woo him away from the glamorous life he’s living.”

Michael laughed, finding her candidness refreshing. “Well, in that case, I’ve got a bouquet of hope right here.” As Emily looked at the bouquet, her playful demeanor shifted, and she met his gaze with an unexpectedly serious expression.

“Michael, is it possible… could it be Sophia Johnson you’re chasing after?” Emily pointedly ask. Michael’s grin wavered for a split second, replaced by an intrigued expression. “And if it were?”

Emily’s gaze held his, her voice laced with genuine curiosity. “Interesting. Just remember, Sophia is a force to be reckoned with.”
