Mr. Chairman’s Devious Wife by Brey Mitchylle

Chapter 71
“Mr. Beaumont, Leandro seemed at a loss for words when he saw Alexander. Do
you two know each other?”
Instead of answering. Alexander looked at Sofia, “Shall we?” He held his hand
towards her. This time, the accepted it without saying another word.
As they stepped onto the dance floor, the music took control of their movements.
They swayed together, the world around them tadiny. Sofia could feel the gazes
from everyone, some curious, others judgmental as if they had just seen a
deme

cy glided across the floor, the soft melody creating a bubble of intimacy around
them. Sofia lifted her gaze er's calm and reassuring eyes. For a moment, they
were alone, the opulence of the room and the prying

floor became their haven, movements choreographed by the music. As they
swayed, Alexander spoke, his words g a subtle tension to the atmosphere. You
look beautiful.”
“I didn’t think you would come,” she smiled.
“I promised you. I would come. Didn't 1?
“You were busy,” she uttered.
“You are a priority.
Their bodies moved in sync with the music.
“Busy doesn’t mean uninterested,” Alexander whispered, his breath sending a
shiver down Sofia’s spine.
She blushed. What was that supposed to mean? And why does her face feel so
hot? She wanted to bury her face in Alexander's chest but stopped herself; after
all, they were in a public space.
Luckily, there were no reporters around as they were not allowed to go inside the
venue.
“It seems that there were many young gentlemen around you who wanted to
“build’ connections, he muttered as he twirled her around the dance floor.
“What do you mean?” she asked.
“I knew that many wanted to know you better when they heard about your
engagement with Daniel, but I never expected them to be this many, he smirked.
“Sadly, you are already married.”
“Oh, it was grandmother's friends,” Sofia noticed this the moment she arrived at
the venue. She did not know if her grandmother did this on purpose, but most of
the people she invited were allowed a plus one, and most of them brought their
bachelor grandson.
The moment they arrived, Eulanda immediately started introducing her to
everyone. However, she ignored them as she found everything comical.
Her grandmother knew that she was already married. While Eulanda did not say
anything else aside from that one time when she warned her about being with a
Beaumont, she never showed any signs that she was against this marriage.
Eulanda knew that all the proper procedures had been done. Sofa and Alexander
both signed a prenuptial agreement, and none of them would lose a fortune once
they divorced.
“I don’t know what was thinking,” Sofia smiled.

“Perhaps to make me aware that you are one of the most sought after women in
Illinois?” he chuckled at that.
“Says the man who could practically have any y woman that he wanted,” she
said.
“I am already a married man”
“Of course, Sofia smiled at that.
“I apologize for being late. There were some problems in the company,” he said
after a few minutes of silence.

“You don't have to apologize,” she quickly responded. For some reason, his
serious tone made her heart race. What exactly is happening right now? She
immediately pushed all of her thoughts out of her head.
Luckily, the music ended, and now they had to go back to where Eulanda and the
others were.
“Mr. Beaumont Eulanda beamed. “I am so glad that you were able to come.”
“Please Eul
Die Alexander. Hello, Mr. Rames.”
“Alexander, Mr Lames enthusiastically greeted. Sofia already knew that
Alexander was well-known in the business industry. but she never expected him
to attract this much attention!
For some reason, this made her think that coming in late was intentional on his
part as he did not want to take the attention away from her. She looked at
Alexander's side profile as he interacted with Mr. Rames and a few other
businessmen who decided to greet him as well.
Seeing him in front of many people somehow gave a warm feeling in her chest.
“Look at them,” Karina mumbled next to him. “I'm sure they are going to start
talking about business again.”
“Where is Adam? Sofia asked. Earlier, Adam arrived and took Karina away.
She did not know where the two went and simply assumed it had something to
do with a case that they were handling together.
“How would I know that?” Karina asked.
“Really?” Sofia lifted an eyebrow, her tone teasing.
However, instead of getting flustered, Karina only smiled. “How about you and
that man? I saw what was happening earlier.”
“What do you mean?” Sofia asked.
“Stop feigning innocence. I saw it.”
“What did you see?” Sofia accepted the champagne that Karina handed her.
“How he held you?”
“We were dancing, Karina of course, he would hold me.” Sofia was tempted to
roll her eyes.
“That man likes you.”
“Right.”
“You don't believe me?” Karina asked.
“Of course not.”

He wouldn't marry you if he doesn't like you”
Sofia pursed her lips Right. Of course.
Actually, it is easier to think that Alexander would not marry her if he didn't like
her. However, the fact that their marrage was simply a deal-a contract was not
going away anytime soon
There was just something about the two of them... something that seemed to be
stopping them from stepping into the next stage of their relationship. But hey!
They are cordial! They are friends, and he takes care of her Moreover, she was
thankful that they were not enemies.
“How about you? Karina asked.
“What about me?”
“Don't you like him?"
Sofia stopp
Does she like him? “What's not to like?” she responded. He is perfect and kind.”
“Kind!” Karma I__utted. You really are calling him kind?”
“He is kind"
“Maybe to you. But that's only because he cares about you.”
Sofia finished her champagne and said nothing.
To be honest, everything has been very chaotic lately, and she was not able to
have the time to think about her personal feelings.
Perhaps, one day she would take some time to really sit down and analyze why
he married her, but that time is not now.
“Huh...interesting,” Karina said. Almost immediately, Sofia turned her head only
to see Alexander with none other than Zoe Smith! “Isn’t that Z Smith? The pianist
Your mom likes her a lot, right? Why was she here? You didn't tell me she would
be invited.”
“I didn’t know,” Sofia looked at her grandmother, who was still talking to some
other businessmen. She could not understand why her grandmother would
suddenly invite Zoe on Sofia’s birthday as Zoe and Sofia were not friends at all.

Moreover, Sofia checked the guest
list and knew that Zoe was not one of
: Co;
them. Again, Sofia’s gaze landed on
Zoe. Unlike Sofia, who was wearing a
red embroidered dress, Zoe was
actually wearing a golden dress that
reminded Sofa of the dresses that
Greek gods and goddesses would

wear. It hugged Zoe's body,
accentuating her curves. The content

To be honest, Zoe looked really good standing next to Alexander who was
wearing a black suit. Actually, the two looked good together.
Something about her train of thought seemed to create some chaos inside her
chest. Just as she thought Alexander would agree to Zoe's request for a dance,
the latter simply walked away
“Eh?” Karina blinked. “Did he just...”
“He walked away.” Sofia mumbled. However, something about Alexander's
actions made her happy.
“That's Z Smith. She is very available, and I heard from the grapevine that her
ailing grandfather wanted her to marry
someone.”
“Oh? Was it because of Adam?” Sofia smiled.

“Well, they had a blind date once. Adam was late because of our client.”
“And
“He was late for two hours, so......"
“He- two hours?” That man made 7. Smith wait for two freaking hours? Sofia did
not know what to say!
However, now Alexander just walked out when Zoe asked him to dance with her.
Isn't this an insult? The poor girl did nothing wrong

“If you are tired. why not.”
Did someone tell you how beautiful you look tonight? he interrupted her.
Her gaze sprang back to his as she smiled. This is the second time that you
asked me that question. Many told her how beautiful she was tonight but for
some reason, she thought those were mere empty words.
“Then let me say it again, you look perfect
She smiled. “Thank you” She wanted to ask him if this was the reason why he
was hiding here but chose not to. Instead, she chose to simply enjoy the
atmosphere with him.
