Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 499

Sophia had just finished a meeting when Felix, who was standing beside her, informed her, “Ms. Yarrow, Mr. Xenos is waiting for you in the office.”

Sophia nodded. Her lips curled into a slight smile as she handed him the documents. “Very well. Please take charge of this project. Thanks!”

“It's my pleasure, Ms. Yarrow.”

Felix took the documents and trailed behind Sophia.

When she entered the office, she immediately spotted Alexander, who was already waiting there.

Felix and Steve tactfully stood by the office door. After Sophia went inside, Felix even closed the door.

Sophia glanced at Alexander and remarked, “You're so fast.”

“Yeah,” replied Alexander. “Where's Felix?”

Sophia was puzzled. “What's up?”

Lifting the bag beside him, Alexander said, “I'm thinking of asking him to distribute our wedding gifts.”

Sophia's face flushed in embarrassment. “He's probably in the office.”

Casting a glance at her, Alexander walked to the desk and called Felix through the internal line.

Felix, who was in the middle of discussing the new project with Steve, was surprised to hear the phone ring. Quickly stopping mid-sentence, he picked up the call. “Ms. Yarrow?”

“It's me.” The voice that echoed through the receiver wasn't Sophia's, but Alexander's.

Felix was even more astounded. “Mr. Xenos?”

“Yes. Please come over.” Alexander hung up immediately after saying that.

Felix stole a quick glance at Steve and instructed, “Peruse the details of this project.”

Tossing the documents to Steve, he hastened toward the office.

Standing before the office door, Felix took a moment to compose himself and check if his attire was neat. Upon making sure, he raised his hand and gently knocked on the door.

It had been a long time since he felt this nervous. Two seconds passed before he even registered that Alexander asked him to enter. He pushed the door open and said, “Hello, Mr. Xenos and Ms. Yarrow.”

Sophia was sitting on the plush sofa and sipping on some water. Hearing Felix's voice, she glanced at him and offered a gentle smile, not uttering a word.

In an instant, Felix knew that it was Alexander who summoned him. After greeting them, he looked at Alexander, “How may I help you, Mr. Xenos?”

Alexander grabbed the two huge bags on the coffee table and passed them to Felix. Confused, Felix

took the bags and was momentarily caught off guard by how heavy they were.

Before he could inquire about the bags' contents, Alexander explained, “These are some wedding gifts. Distribute them to everyone.”

His words left Felix momentarily stunned.

After a brief pause, realization dawned upon Felix.

Although he helped set up and arrange last night's proposal, he was still astonished by how swiftly they registered their marriage. Their marriage was registered just one night after the proposal, which was surprisingly fast. Not many couples in Jadeborough could be as fast as them.

Overwhelmed by happiness for Alexander and Sophia's official union, Felix, who was usually reserved, put on a rare silly grin instead of his typical serious expression. “Certainly, Mr. Xenos. I'll distribute them to everyone now.”

Alexander cast a brief glance at Sophia and nodded. “Go on, then.” Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

With two heavy bags in hand, Felix walked toward the door. However, before he could exit the office, Alexander called out, “Wait!”

“Yes, Mr. Xenos?” Felix turned back, awaiting further instructions.

Alexander said seriously, “Please distribute one hundred and forty-three to each person as monetary gifts. I'll transfer you the money later.”

Although Alexander was known for being a generous boss and leader, there were at least two thousand employees at Odyssey's headquarters. One hundred and forty-three per person would amount to a total of over two hundred and eighty thousand.

Undoubtedly, today was their lucky day.

“Got it, Mr. Xenos.”

Felix left with the bags, making sure to close the office door behind him.

Steve was surprised when he saw the huge bags that Felix was carrying. “Mr. Lane, are these souvenirs from Mr. Xenos?”

Felix couldn't help but crack a rare smile. “No, they're actually wedding gifts. Mr. Xenos and Ms. Yarrow just registered their marriage today. Can you help distribute the gifts to everyone?”

Steve was stunned upon hearing Felix's words and only snapped back to reality when Felix patted him on the shoulder. “Mr. Xenos and Ms. Yarrow... registered their marriage?” he asked in disbelief.

Felix raised an eyebrow. “Is there a problem?”

“No, not at all. I'm just really happy for them!”

Although Steve hadn't worked in Odyssey as long as Felix, he had been there for nearly six years. He had witnessed the ups and downs of Alexander and Sophia's relationship, including their divorce and subsequent remarriage.

Even though he was not directly involved, he was heartened to hear the news.

Felix, too, shared the sentiment. He had been fond of Sophia from the beginning, and he felt that it was quite a pity when she and Alexander filed for divorce. However, he could only lament in silence because an outsider like him had no right to comment on their relationship.

Later on, just when the two of them reconciled and were about to remarry and spend the rest of their lives together, Alexander went missing for over half a year.

Their journey had been long and challenging. Now that they were officially engaged, Felix couldn't help feeling genuinely happy for them.

“Go on and give the gifts to everyone.” Felix passed the wedding gifts to Steve, for the former still needed to head to the finance department and arrange for each employee to receive a monetary gift of one hundred and forty-three.

Meanwhile, in the office, Sophia glanced at Alexander after Felix left.

Alexander's actions would cause the news of their remarriage to spread like wildfire throughout Odyssey, and though Sophia was never one to seek attention, she didn't voice any objections because even though she was not fond of flaunting, she didn't hate doing so.

After all, as a woman, she still loved romantic gestures.

“Do we have anything else to take care of?” Sophia appeared calm and composed despite feeling embarrassed deep down.

Alexander walked over, a faint frown marring his countenance as he looked at her earnestly and asked with a serious tone, “Do you think one hundred and forty-three might be too little? Should I give them one thousand four hundred and thirty-seven instead?”

Amused, Sophia couldn't help but chuckle. “Since you're so rich, it doesn't really matter, right? By the way, do I get to receive the monetary gift too?”

After all, she would never be sick of money.

That huge sum was more than enough to pay for a good meal.

Alexander gazed at Sophia as his jet-black eyes lit up with a glimmer of affection. “Of course.”

With that, he reached for his phone.

Sophia arched an eyebrow when she heard her phone buzzing continuously on the desk.

Smiling, she walked over and picked up the phone to see notifications of bank transfers from Alexander.

Each sum he transferred had different meanings, with one hundred and forty-three meaning “I love you,” one thousand four hundred and thirty-seven meaning “I love you forever,” and many, many more.

He even added a caption for each transfer so that Sophia would know the special meaning behind those digits.

Sophia's face flushed red after she read the captions.
