After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#78 “Perhaps Another Time?”

Sophia had decided to work from the comfort of her tastefully furnished home that morning. It was a bright day, the sunlight streaming in through the large windows casting warm, golden hues throughout her spacious office. Her sanctuary was where she could think clearly, away from the hustle and bustle of her law firm.

With her phone on her elegant mahogany desk, Sophia dialed her assistant’s number. The call connected, and within moments, her assistant, answered in his calm and professional manner.

“Good morning, Sophia. How can I assist you today?” Trevor inquired, his voice crisp and efficient.

“Good morning, Trevor,” Sophia replied, her tone reflective of her determination. “I’ve decided to work from home today, and we have a few crucial tasks at hand. The primary one involves dealing with the ongoing issue concerning Enlighten Press.”

Trevor, aware of the gravity of the situation, responded promptly, “Of course, Sophia. What would you like me to do?”

Sophia leaned back in her leather- bound chair, her fingers deftly tapping the sleek surface of her desk as she organized her thoughts. “I need you to contact Benjamin and have him join me in a conference call. I have crucial information to share with him.”

Trevor acknowledged her instructions. “I’ll get in touch with Benjamin right away and arrange the call. Is there anything else you require?”

Sophia paused for a moment, contemplating her next steps. “No, that should be all for now, Trevor.

Thank you.”

As Trevor set off to contact Benjamin, Sophia began to prepare for the upcoming conversation. Benjamin was not only a capable associate but also a close friend. She trusted him with her life, and their collaboration over the years had always yielded remarkable results.
