After closing the door, Alexander turned around and looked at Sophia, who had stepped out of the
house.
Sophia flashed him a smile when she saw him staring at her. “Who were you talking to just now, Mr.
Xenos?” she asked while walking up to him.
Alexander closed the umbrella and handed her the bouquet of flowers as he replied, “A stranger.”
Sophia arched an eyebrow at him and glanced at the flowers. “Are these flowers for me?”
Alexander nodded. “Yeah. Are you hungry?”
He did not feel like saying a word about the woman who was knocking on the door earlier.
Of course, Sophia saw everything as she had already stepped out of the mansion when Alexander
opened the door. She had simply asked him that question on purpose.
Oh, well... If Mr. Xenos says she's a stranger, then I shall believe it so.
Sophia lowered her gaze as she took the bouquet of flowers over from him.
As it was still drizzling when Alexander arrived, the roses that he had plucked were still wet from the
rain. That helped amplify the fragrance of the roses even further.
“No.” Sophia looked up at him and asked with a wink, “Won't Mr. Schild get mad at you for plucking
these flowers from his garden?”
“Don't worry about him,” Alexander replied nonchalantly.
Their conversation was interrupted when the doorbell rang once again.
Sophia clicked her tongue in annoyance. “Why would that stranger ring our doorbell twice?”
Alexander, too, furrowed his brow in displeasure as he opened the umbrella and walked toward the
gate hand-in-hand with Sophia.
After standing outside the gate for a while, Nina stubbornly rang the doorbell again. However, she did
not expect Alexander to answer the door with Sophia.
Nina's expression clearly tensed up when she saw Sophia, but she was quick to regain her composure
and acted all pitiful as she said, “I'm sorry to bother you, sir, but I really have no other choice. If you
can't let me use your telephone, then could you at least lend me an umbrella?”
Alexander shot her a cold glance and turned toward Sophia as he replied, “My wife is in charge of
things at home, so you'll have to ask her if you want to lend an umbrella.”
Sophia felt her face burning up a little when she heard that, but she maintained her composure and
asked coldly, “Where would you like to go, miss?”
Nina was caught completely off guard by Sophia's question. “Huh?”
“It's too much of a hassle, so I'll just have one of my staff send you home instead,” Sophia said while
giving Alexander a nudge.
Alexander then whipped out his phone and called up one of the staff.
Although the mansion had been closed off, some of the staff remained to make it easier for the shoot.
“Please wait here, miss. Someone will be here soon to send you home. My husband and I still have
some work to do, so we'll be excusing ourselves now,” Sophia continued with a smile.
Nina was so stunned that she just stood there with her mouth open while Sophia slowly closed the door
in front of her.
What the... How was I supposed to respond to that?
“Didn't Mr. Schild say the mansion has been closed off?” Sophia asked while staring at Alexander.
If the mansion has been closed off, then why are “random strangers” showing up at the door?
“I'll ask him,” Alexander replied and led Sophia into the house.
Sophia flashed him a smile in response. “Okay!”
The mansion belonged to Samuel, so Sophia didn't exactly expect to only see her employees there.
However, the fact that the woman had knocked on their door twice was a clear sign that she had other
intentions.
Since she was bold enough to mess with Alexander, Sophia felt curious about her identity.
After returning to the mansion, Sophia sat down at the dining table and began trimming the flowers that
Alexander had given her.
Alexander had a gentle look in his eyes as he watched her tend to the flowers. However, that look
faded as he thought about the shameless woman who had shown up twice.
He then whipped out his phone and called Samuel, who had just gotten out of a meeting.
In order to avoid going on blind dates, Samuel had been keeping himself really busy with his career.
Alexander, on the other hand, spent every minute of his time around Sophia as though the world
revolved around her.
Samuel had asked Alexander multiple times if he would like to hang out, but Alexander rejected him
every time with the excuse of being busy.
As such, Samuel couldn't help but wonder if he was hallucinating due to exhaustion from overworking
when he saw Alexander's name on the caller ID.
Alexander wanted me to lend him the mansion in the neighboring city for his wedding photoshoot. He
said he would need it for a week, so why is he calling me on the fifth day?
Unsure of what Alexander was playing at, Samuel answered the call and asked, “What's the matter?
Are you calling to treat me to dinner as thanks after completing the wedding photoshoot?”
He simply could not think of another reason for Alexander to contact him.
However, Alexander ignored his question and asked coldly, “Isn't the mansion closed off?”
Samuel realized something was amiss the moment he heard that. “Yes, it is. As per your request, it will
be closed off for seven days. A third of its staff will remain to maintain it on a daily basis.”
While it would cost a lot of money to close the mansion off even for a day, Alexander had paid Samuel
a generous sum of money.
Alexander's frown deepened when he heard that. “There's a film crew in here.”
Samuel felt a little awkward at the mention of the film crew. The drama series that his company
sponsored needed to shoot a few episodes outdoors, and it would be too costly to shoot somewhere
far away, so Samuel had them do that in the mansion instead.
He figured the film crew would only be shooting in the southern part of the mansion, so it shouldn't
affect Alexander's wedding photoshoot. In order to save time, he let the film crew into the mansion two
days ago.
“I can explain, Alex. You know how they have started the filming process for my company's drama
series, Petite Youth, right? Well, they said some of the scenes needed to be shot outdoors, so...”
Samuel grew increasingly nervous when he heard no response from Alexander. “But you guys are
mainly operating in the eastern side of the mansion, and they're in the southern part. Theoretically, it
wouldn't be likely for you guys to run into each other. I've made all the necessary arrangements, Alex!
You have to trust me!”
Having understood the situation, Alexander retorted coldly, “One of the actresses from your film crew
knocked on my door twice today. That's some arrangement you've made there!”
He then hung up the phone immediately after, leaving Samuel in utter confusion.
Huh? What's going on there? Why would an actress from the film crew knock on Alexander's door?
Since Alexander had given Samuel a limited-edition sports car, Samuel needed to take responsibility by
handling the situation efficiently.
He then quickly gave the film crew a call to find out what happened.
