Being Pursued By Ex-husband
Chapter 4

Chapter 4

“Mrs- Ms. Yarrow.”

Felix was still not used to the change, so he nearly made the mistake of calling Sophia Mrs. Xenos.

Sophia forcefully pulled the hand on her head away when she heard someone calling her name.Looking up from Mason's embrace, she saw Felix appearing in the middle of the commotion.

“What's the matter, Mr. Lane?”

After being pushed by some of the paparazzi, Felix lost his balance and staggered pathetically. Hemanaged to steady himself after a few seconds. “Ms. Yarrow, Mr. Xenos asked you to go over.”

Sophia raised her brows after hearing his words. She gazed past Felix at the black car parked over tenmeters away.

Though she could not see Alexander's face through the tinted car window, she could sense that he wasstaring directly at her.

Curling her lips, she responded, “I'm sorry, Mr. Lane. Please relay this message to Mr. Xenos. To avoidunwanted speculations, I think it's best for him to treat me as a stranger if we meet each other fromnow on.”

Meanwhile, the paparazzi continued to bombard them with volleys of questions. Mason was worriedthat something terrible might happen when his fans arrived, so he dragged Sophia along. “Let's get inthe car first.”

Sophia did not have anything else to say to Felix, so she nodded in agreement and got into the car.

A large group of Mason's fans flooded the scene right after Sophia fastened her seatbelt. Seeing theimpressive sight, she felt extremely glad that she had gotten into the car. Otherwise, she might be tornapart by Mason's female fans.

The Maserati blended into the traffic, gradually throwing off those fans and paparazzi who attempted tofollow Mason.

“Are you all right, Soph?”

She glanced at him. “You should avoid heeding Katherine's suggestions in the future.”

She had wondered what kind of surprise Katherine had planned for her. Unexpectedly, the latter stirreda ridiculous ruckus.

Sophia's head ached at the thought of herself becoming Mason's rumored girlfriend and the focus ofdiscussions on the internet.

Beside her, Mason arched a brow. “In my opinion, Katherine's idea is brilliant.”

Sophia laughed in exasperation. “Did you pick up her bad habits after hanging out with her for solong?”

“Don't wrongly accuse me, Soph. I just can't stand another person bullying you, even if that person isAlexander.”

Mason halted the car as the traffic light turned red ahead. Then, he turned his head sideways andregarded her with a solemn expression.

Sophia was touched by his genuine concern. She smiled and said, “Don't worry. No one can bully me.”

So what if he's from the Xenos family? She had allowed them to step all over her because she was toonaive to believe that she could someday win over Alexander's affection. However, she had gainedclarity now. She would never let them do as they pleased anymore.

Meanwhile, Felix finally snapped back to his senses when he saw the Maserati pulling away. Thepaparazzi surrounding him earlier were gone as well, chasing after Mason.

Standing rooted to his spot, he gazed at the black car nearby. He didn't know how he should report toAlexander.

“Mr. Xenos.” After a while, Felix returned to the car and glanced at Alexander. “Ms. Yarrow didn't wantto come over.”

Alexander's expression was icy. “I'm not blind.”

He had witnessed Sophia getting into the car with the male celebrity.

Felix pursed his lips. “Ms. Yarrow asked me to pass along a message to you.”

At that, Alexander's somber expression lightened up a little. “What did she say?”

I suppose she's not completely tactless. At least she knows to let Felix relay a message to me.

“Ms. Yarrow said that to avoid unwanted speculations in the future, she thinks it's best for you to treather as a stranger if you two meet each other from now on.”

Alexander's face fell instantaneously as he snorted. “Very well. Do not mention her in front of me everagain!”

“Yes, Mr. Xenos.”

Felix fell silent afterward, not daring to make a sound.

After working for Alexander for so many years, he could distinctively sense the burning wrath of hisboss at that moment.

“Start the car!” Alexander's stern voice caused the driver's hands to tremble.

Recollecting himself, the latter apologized repeatedly.

Alexander did not speak afterward. He merely stared at the partially dispersed crowd outside whilewearing a grim expression.

Inside a parking lot, the blue Maserati stopped in the only available spot. Sophia glanced outside thewindow and asked, “Did Katherine tell you to bring me here as well?”

“She's just concerned about you.” Mason unbuckled his seatbelt and beamed at her innocently.

Sophia found it difficult to look away from his dazzling smile. “Don't go overboard, Mason. Do you thinkI won't dare to lay my fingers on a younger man or make a move on my subordinate? Is that why you'retrying to captivate me with your bewitching smile?”

In response, Mason clicked his tongue. “If you wish to have me, I'll gladly offer myself to you. I'll take ashower and lie on your bed, waiting for you to make a move on me.”

Sophia was rendered speechless.

He's not someone I can mess with.

The two of them got out of the car and walked toward the building's entrance.

Specter Entertainment was a company established only five years ago, but in the past two years, it wasable to produce a few popular male celebrities.

Mason was one of them.

Katherine was done filming her movie last month, so she had nothing arranged in her schedule. Withplenty of free time on her hands, she immediately made plans for Sophia right after the latter's divorce.

Sophia rarely visited the company, so most employees there did not know she was the boss.Nevertheless, everyone greeted them politely along the way because they saw Mason personallyleading her into the building.

When they reached Katherine's office, Mason stopped in front of the door. “Soph, Katherine is waitingfor you inside. I'll ask someone to send some snacks over for you two.”

She eyed him. “What's the matter? Weren't you an expert in causing trouble earlier? Are you runningaway now that it's time to settle the score?”

Mason and Katherine had come together to carry out their plan just now. After what they did, it wouldalmost be impossible for Sophia to keep a low profile.

With a grin, Mason helped her push open the door. “Katherine came up with this plan all by herself. Youshould settle the score with her.”

Sophia chuckled. “Fine. Go home and get some rest. Why'd you come to put on a show even duringyour day off? It's not like the company will give you an award for your dedication.”

“I don't mind, as long as you won't blame me.”

With that, Mason wisely took his leave. Sophia then walked into the lavish office and closed the doorbehind her.

Upon turning a corner, she saw Katherine casually lying on the couch. “Do your fans know about howungraceful your posture is in private?”

Unfazed by Sophia's mockery, Katherine waved at Sophia while holding a tablet in her other hand.“Come quickly, Soph. You're trending!”

“Weren't you the one who made that happen?”

Katherine pulled Sophia over to sit next to her. “Look at this. What do you think about this trending

topic? I'd like to see if those people will still dare to make fun of you for being obsessed with Alexanderin a one-sided relationship!”

She placed the tablet in Sophia's hands and continued, “You can rest assured because I've arrangedeverything. Today was Mason's turn. I'll ask Howard to show up when he returns from hisadvertisement shoot a few days later!”

Sophia had yet to regain her senses as she stared at the trending topic that claimed that she wasMason's secret crush for many years. When she heard Katherine's speech, she was stumped.

Still, Katherine thought it was not sufficient. After all, she knew how much Sophia had suffered all thoseyears in the Xenos family. Now that Sophia managed to get herself out of there, Katherine wanted herto hold her head high and show her worth to those haters who insulted her.

“Aside from that, we also have to hold a party to celebrate you becoming single again since you'vedivorced Alexander. I've booked an entire place to host a banquet tonight. That way, you can flauntyour riches!”

“Are you paying for the venue?”

Instantly, the smile on Katherine's face froze. “Um... Well, this celebration won't be meaningful if I'm theone paying.”

Sophia snorted. “Why are you pretending to be generous when you don't have the money?”

“I may not have the money, but you do!”

Once again, Sophia was at a loss for words.

Why do I have a friend like her?
