Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 387 Admirer

It was already past one in the morning when Alexander returned home the previous day. Sophia, who had been struggling with insomnia, had finally fallen asleep around eleven, only to be awoken two hours later. As a result, both of them were still sound asleep when the alarm went off in the morning.

Genie, their smart home assistant, automatically drew the curtains back and activated “awaken” mode when it detected the alarm on Sophia's phone going off.

Sophia was roused from her slumber by Genie's “awaken” alarm, marking the first time she had slept so soundly that she had missed her phone alarm.

Alexander, who was beside her, was also awake. With one hand on her waist, he asked with half-opened eyes, “Do you have a meeting in the morning?”

His breath tickled her waist through the thin fabric of her clothing. Sophia instinctively recoiled, and the next thing she knew, he had pulled her into his arms.

The woman lowered her head and glanced at him. “I need to wash up now.”

She had little time left to prepare for her morning meeting since she had slept in. At that time, it was already ten past eight.

Alexander let her go and answered, “Okay.”

The sun shone through the windows and lit up the room because Genie had drawn the curtains back.

It was almost nine by the time Sophia arrived at Sunshine Group. As a result, she only had time to flip through the main points of the meeting agenda prepared by Yvonne.

Just as she reached the conference room, Yvonne suddenly called out to her, “Ms. Yarrow.”

Sophia, who was flipping through the document, paused and turned to smile at the secretary. “What is it?”

“Bora received a parcel addressed to you this morning.”

“I'll check it out after the meeting.”

“Got it.”

Smiling, Yvonne opened the door of the conference room for Sophia.

As most of the required personnel had arrived, the meeting began once the two women were seated,

The main agenda of the meeting that day was to assess a company called Yonda Group. Sophia was against acquiring Yonda Group, but the higher-ups in Sunshine Group thought otherwise.

The meeting went on for almost two hours. It was close to eleven by the time Sophia emerged from the conference room.

Upon entering her office, she recalled the parcel Yvonne had mentioned before the meeting. “Ms. Leighton, where's the parcel?”

“One moment, please, Ms. Yarrow,” Yvonne replied, glancing at Sophia.

Then, she turned around and walked out of the office to retrieve the parcel.

Watching Yvonne return with the parcel, Sophia raised a brow and asked, “Who sent it?”

Her secretary lowered her head to check the details of the parcel and could not help but frown. “Ms. Yarrow, the sender's field is left blank.”

Sophia tutted. “Interesting.”

“I'll leave you to it, then,” Yvonne said after handing over the parcel to her.

“Sure, thank you.” Sophia smiled at her, motioning her to continue with her work.

She took the parcel and opened it to find an envelope inside.

Curiosity got the better of her, so she took out the envelope and felt it with her fingers. There's something solid inside.

In a swift motion, she tore it open and spilled the contents onto her desk. High-definition photos fell to the surface of the desk with a swoosh.

I just saw these last night. These are in the photos Samuel sent me yesterday.

She then picked up the envelope, which she had thrown away earlier, and noticed that the sender's field was, indeed, left blank.

Intrigued, Sophia arched a brow and snapped a picture of the envelope's contents with her phone before sending them to Alexander.

He happened to have a free day, so his reply came almost immediately: Who sent those photos?

Sophia: The sender field is left blank.

That time around, Alexander did not respond to her message instantly, only doing so around two minutes later. His text read: Are you done with your meeting? Shall I come to pick you up?

In actuality, Sophia was quite free recently. She only had to sign a document after the meeting, and then she would be finished for the day.

Alexander had driven her to the office that morning, but she did not expect him to be available then.

Sophia: Okay.

After closing her text messaging app, Sophia perused the document on the table and signed it. With her handbag in hand, she got up to leave the office.

“Ms. Yarrow, do you need me to find out who sent the parcel?” Yvonne thoughtfully asked when she spotted Sophia.

“No, there's no need for that anymore.” The latter shook her head and smiled.

She was confident that she would soon meet the sender. After all, they were in such a hurry, even sending the photos to her office.

“Okay, Ms. Yarrow,” Yvonne replied.

Alexander drove to Sunshine Group rather quickly. No sooner had Sophia stepped out of the elevator than she received a text message from him, which informed her that he had arrived at the building.

The streets were relatively quiet as it was still ten minutes before noon.

As soon as Sophia emerged from her office building, the blazing sun momentarily blinded her.

She instinctively reached out to shield herself from the bright light. The moment she reopened her eyes, Alexander approached her while holding an umbrella.

“What do you want to eat?” he asked.

“Can we have Thymion food?” she replied.

“Sure,” Alexander said, leading her to the car.

He pulled open the car door for her and placed a hand on the roof to shield her head as she got in before going around the vehicle to get to the driver's seat.

Sophio tutted. “Interesting.”

“I'll leove you to it, then,” Yvonne soid ofter honding over the porcel to her.

“Sure, thonk you.” Sophio smiled ot her, motioning her to continue with her work.

She took the porcel ond opened it to find on envelope inside.
