Alexander was sipping his coffee in the kitchen, contemplating which task to tackle for the day. As he passed through the living room, his attention was captured by the turned-on television. Sophia appeared on the screen, doing her best to evade the reporters. As usual, her posture was straight, and she displayed no signs of concern. Reporters bombarded her with questions about an alleged attempt to bribe a lawyer. They accused her of underhanded actions against a neighboring company. Apparently, the collaboration with Mr. Thompson was also not going well, Alexander thought. He increased the volume of the TV. He had vowed not to involve himself with her again; he hoped their differences had been resolved on the stormy night when he had invited her to his home. Despite everything, he found himself staring at the report, feeling a gnawing unease. He couldn't believe that Sophia would resort to bribery; she was a reputable lawyer. Deciding it was time to head to work, he grabbed his

"So, you're asserting that Sophia had no involvement in the bribery?" they questioned, their voices eager for his response. A smug smile curved Michael's lips as he responded confidently. "Absolutely. I've obtained the footage from the lobby cameras that show me and Miss Johnson

However, he was quick to respond, wrapping his arms around her to steady her."Are you okay?" he asked, concern evident in his voice."Yes, everything is fine. It happens from time to time," she reassured him, her voice holding a touch of frustration."What's going on? Are you feeling unwell?" he inquired further."I'm just overtired, and the sleepless hours are catching up with me. It's nothing out of the ordinary.

"You know, Sophia, I could help you get revenge on your ex-husband," he offered, his intention genuinely well-meaning. Sophia couldn't help but burst into laughter at his obliviousness. She found his suggestion amusing, considering her true knowledge of the situation. "There's really no need for that," she responded, a playful glint in her eyes. "But he treated you so poorly," Alexander persisted. Sophia chuckled. "Mr. Stone, you seem unusually invested in the affairs of the men around me this morning. It almost gives the impression that you have some... rather strong sentiments towards me." Alexander appeared taken aback for a moment before breaking into a smile that matched her own. "Oh, nothing of the sort. I simply wanted to offer my assistance." "And why would you want to do that?" He offered a straightforward explanation. "You've helped me before, and now
