Relentless Pursuit After Divorce-Chapter 1021. You still want to compete with the lady?

She surreptitiously observed Adam Jones but noticed that he occasionally raised his hand to check his watch, then stared intently at the changing numbers of the elevator floor indicator, but he never looked at her.

Sophie Baker couldn’t help but pout inwardly, complaining about Adam Jones.

He was truly a hopeless, unromantic straight man.

The elevator finally reached the first floor amidst Adam’s impatient waiting.

Sophie straightened her back and moved closer to Adam.

She even attempted to reach out and hook his arm as they exited the elevator, trying to create the impression of a close and intimate relationship between them.

But Adam gave her no chance at all; as soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he quickly walked towards the exit of the company building.

Sophie’s outstretched hand awkwardly retracted, making her look exceedingly embarrassed.

Those who didn’t notice had no reaction, but those who did couldn’t help but suppress their laughter.

Sophie didn’t notice this reaction, but when her gaze passed by the receptionist who had hit her, she glared fiercely, her eyes carrying a hint of warning.

The receptionist wasn’t afraid and glared right back.

She had long received news from her friend who worked as a secretary on the top floor that the madam had directly confronted the CEO to keep her job.

In the end, the CEO still could not do anything about the madam, and wasn’t she still here just fine?

The HR department hadn’t received any notice to fire her either.

She was just a shameless, despicable mistress, trying to compete with the madam?

Pah!

Sophie, seeing the receptionist unafraid of her, was also infuriated!

She knew she was only acting so bold because she had the support of that slut, Elly Campbell.

Ha!

Let this little slut be smug for now!

Wait until Adam and Elly Campbell get divorced, wait until she is driven out of Jones, and I’ll see if this little slut still dares to be so arrogant.

After giving her a scornful look, Sophie followed Adam out of the building.

No sooner had she left than a few of the reception staff downstairs gathered together and started whispering among themselves.

"Did you guys just see that? The mistress tried to hook arms with the CEO and couldn’t, and the CEO didn’t even wait for her. That was seriously awkward."

"You noticed too? I thought I was seeing things."

"Wasn’t she rumored to be the CEO’s new favorite? Why does it seem like the CEO is indifferent towards her?"

"The CEO never said she was his new favorite; it’s all her own wishful thinking that she is the CEO’s new favorite."

She actually thinks the CEO still prefers the madam.

Any normal person with good taste, by comparison, would prefer the madam, right?

Such a smart person as the CEO would not be so blind, right?

"But didn’t Secretary Yang just say that the CEO got into an argument upstairs over firing David, looking like he was truly going to fight for the mistress’s sake?"

"True, if he didn’t care for that mistress, why would the CEO want to fire David over such a trivial matter?"

"..."

Everyone was buzzing about this affair, utterly perplexed whether the CEO actually liked that mistress.

Or perhaps... was it just for the novelty?

Despite their discussions, they couldn’t come to any definitive conclusion.

In the end, if the CEO divorced the madam and ended up with such an unsightly person, it would truly mean he’d lost his sight.

"Adam, wait for me," Sophie called out when she saw Adam walking ahead very quickly, feeling somewhat resentful in her heart.

Fearing that Sophie would notice something, Adam reluctantly stopped in his tracks and turned back to look at her, asking sternly:

"Isn’t Grandpa Campbell your grandfather? He’s had an accident, how can you still walk so slowly?"
