Chapter 54
Sophia’s bright smile lifted my spirit considerably.
However, it seemed that something had suddenly crossed her mind.
She looked at me hesitantly and asked softly, “By the way, Joshua hasn’t been giving you any trouble recently, has he?”
“Joshua?” I was slightly surprised by her mention of his name. I couldn’t help but also feel a tinge of curiosity. Why would she suddenly ask if he had been causing me problems?
I looked at Sophia hesitantly. I was about to ask her further before she suddenly took a call and smiled apologetically. “Samuel, my mom said she forgot her keys and needed me to return home. I’ll get going for now.”
“Okay.” I nodded. “Let me know whenever you’re ready to start your job.”
My curiosity piqued as I tapped open the trending news after sending her off.
wanted to see what Joshua had been up to recently.
Since Sophia had brought up her concern, 1 figured he must be stirring up trouble online again.
I finally understood the true meaning behind Sophia’s words when I saw the trending topics
online.
The hottest news was that Joshua had held a press conference to announce that he and Abigail had never been romantically involved. He said they were merely business partners and all the previous rumors had been fabricated for publicity
Joshua’s lips trembled under the sharp focus of countless cameras and his expression was filled with panic.
He looked as if someone had pressured him into saying all those words.
I sneered at the sight of that.
I had seen this kind of tactic too many times before.
His intention was obvious. He wanted people to think I had forced him to make this
nouncement.
Not only would no one believe his supposed disavowal of a relationship with Abigail, but they would also assume I had done something behind the scenes to coerce him into holding the press conference.
The continuous vibration on my phone was giving me a headache.
I glanced at the incoming call display and saw that it was Abigail
I immediately declined the call in annoyance, but he kept calling back
I
Her relentless behavior had gotten to the, gunduldn’t just turn off my phone since I needed to stay reachable for calls from Blair and Owen ouldn’t risk missing out on a work
opportunity because of her.
Hence, I suppressed my impatience and antwered the call “What do you want?”
My tone must have been so indifferent that there was a hint of hesitation in Abigail’s tone the moment the call was answered.
However, she quickly began to feign nonchalance and ask faintly, “Do you know where the identification is? I couldn’t find it. Could you come back and help me look for it?
Her voice was calm, but it sounded absurd to me
I had used similar tactics on her countless times before.
I kept testing her only to see if she still cared about me.
However, she would immediately hang up whenever she answered the call and sensed that I was whining over nothing without giving me any chance to continue.
I took a deep breath and said faintly, “Abigail, you don’t need to keep testing me like this. I’ve already signed the divorce papers. Can you please sign them too when you have the time?”
I was completely calm, but her voice instantly grew cold.
She snapped at me coldly, “Samuel, that’s enough. Do you have to make me lose my temper before you’re satisfied?”
