Mr. Chairman’s Devious Wife by Brey Mitchylle

Chapter 71

“Mr. Beaumont, Leandro seemed at a loss for words when he saw Alexander. Do you two know each other?”

Instead of answering. Alexander looked at Sofia, “Shall we?” He held his hand towards her. This time, the accepted it without saying another word.

As they stepped onto the dance floor, the music took control of their movements. They swayed together, the world around them tadiny. Sofia could feel the gazes from everyone, some curious, others judgmental as if they had just seen a

cy glided across the floor, the soft melody creating a bubble of intimacy around them. Sofia lifted her gaze er’s calm and reassuring eyes. For a moment, they were alone, the opulence of the room and the prying

floor became their haven, movements choreographed by the music. As they swayed, Alexander spoke, his words g a subtle tension to the atmosphere. You look beautiful.”

“I didn’t think you would come,” she smiled.

“I promised you. I would come. Didn’t I?

“You were busy,” she uttered.

“You are a priority.

Their bodies moved in sync with the music.

“Busy doesn’t mean uninterested,” Alexander whispered, his breath sending a shiver down Sofia’s spine.

She blushed. What was that supposed to mean? And why does her face feel so hot? She wanted to bury her face in Alexander’s chest but stopped herself; after all, they were in a public space.

Luckily, there were no reporters around as they were not allowed to go inside the venue.

“It seems that there were many young gentlemen around you who wanted to ‘build’ connections, he muttered as he twirled her around the dance floor.

“What do you mean?” she asked.

“I knew that many wanted to know you better when they heard about your engagement with Daniel, but I never expected them to be this many, he smirked. “Sadly, you are already married.”

“Oh, it was grandmother’s friends,” Sofia noticed this the moment she arrived at the venue. She did not know if her grandmother did this on purpose, but most of the people she invited were allowed a plus one, and most of them brought their bachelor grandson.

The moment they arrived, Eulanda immediately started introducing her to everyone. However, she ignored them as she found everything comical.

Her grandmother knew that she was already married. While Eulanda did not say anything else aside from that one time when she warned her about being with a Beaumont, she never showed any signs that she was against this marriage.

Eulanda knew that all the proper procedures had been done. Sofa and Alexander both signed a prenuptial agreement, and none of them would lose a fortune once they divorced.

“I don’t know what was thinking,” Sofia smiled.
