It was Samuel's birthday at the end of the month, so Sophia and Alexander had prepared a gift for him.
Although Samuel held a luxurious birthday party, the people he invited were from the industry, and they
were all about the same age.
Sophia recognized most of them since Kristen occasionally brought her out for social gatherings during
the former's first three months of marriage with Alexander. Hence, the former recognized most of the
people from the industry.
In fact, Sophia had met most of Jadeborough's wealthy beings.
Back then, those individuals treated Sophia poorly because of the way Alexander and Kristen treated
her.
And now, Sophia had become Alexander's wife, the chairperson of Sunshine Group, and the
granddaughter of the Dawson family. No one there dared to treat her with disrespect when she held
such a prominent identity.
Then again, those who attended the party that night were acquainted with Samuel.
Everyone in their social circle knew how close Samuel and Alexander were. Thus, they had to show
Sophia, the latter's wife, some form of respect.
Charlize had been swamped with work recently, and with everything that happened to Alexander,
Sophia lost contact with most of her acquaintances. It had been almost a year since Charlize and
Sophia last saw each other.
Charlize had intentionally applied for leave to attend Samuel's birthday party with Charles.
She had just entered the hall when she saw Sophia sitting beside Alexander. Is it just me, or has Soph
gotten prettier after not seeing her for a few months?
Charlize immediately let go of Charles' hand and sprinted toward Sophia. “Soph!”
Sophia was wearing an ash blue knitted maxi dress, complemented by a dark green leather jacket. Her
long hair was tied to the back with her headband, and her makeup was light, with her brick-red lipstick
as the finishing touch. Words could not describe how beautiful she looked.
Charlize had not seen Sophia in a long time. The sight of Sophia sent the former's heart racing with
excitement. If not for Alexander's glance when Charlize got nearer, the latter would have given Sophia
a hug right away.
Willing herself to stay calm, Charlize carefully approached Sophia and greeted, “Soph.”
Sophia could not help but chuckle. “Don't you need to go on a business trip tonight, Charlize?”
Embarrassment washed over Charlize. “I'm going to quit soon.”
Sophia raised her brow at that statement. “Will your boss agree to it?”
The thought of that man elicited a frown from Charlize. “I don't care what he thinks. I'll get Charles to
talk to that man if he says no.”
Sophia was surprised to hear that. It's been more than a year. I can't believe Spencer hasn't won her
heart yet.
Sophia did not know where the problem lay—either Charlize was too difficult to handle, or Spencer was
too useless.
It was Samuel's birthday that day, yet Alexander had been sitting by Sophia's side since the moment
they entered the hall. Knowing the two men were close friends, she told Alexander to be with his friend
and that she would be fine alone. However, the clingy man stayed by his side.
Now that Charlize was here, Sophia had a valid reason to make Alexander leave. Turning to her
husband, Sophia poked at his hand that was wrapped around hers. “Go and look for Mr. Schild. I'll
catch up with Charlize here.”
Alexander cast a side glance at Charlize before looking back at Sophia. Only then did he let go of the
latter's hand. “Okay. I'll be back later.”
His words made Charlize shudder. When Alexander was out of their sight, she looked at Sophia and
said softly, “Soph, Alex is really clingy.”
Feeling her face heat up with embarrassment, Sophia took a glass of juice from the side and handed it
to Charlize to change the topic. “Drink some juice.”
“Oh. Thanks, Soph.”
Charlize did not give it much thought, either. Just then, she remembered Katherine had given birth to a
son, and she asked, “Soph, I heard Katherine's husband bought all the bags at Pillere's runway for her.
Is that true?”
Katherine loved collecting bags, and it was known among everyone in the entertainment industry.
All of Hemiock's bags were bought by an anonymous Chanaean during the runway at Pillere.
The news was first spread in the fashion industry before the frenzy arrived at Chanaea. Someone
pointed out that Katherine's bag, as shown in her picture on Twitter, was from the runway. However,
she was still recuperating from her labor during that time. Soon, someone revealed it was Joshua who
had bought all the bags for her.
Everyone on Twitter was raving about the matter, admiring how lucky Katherine was.
Even someone as busy as Charlize heard about it. Naturally, she had to ask Sophia about it.
Sophia knew, of course. After all, Katherine had sent her a picture as soon as she got the bag.
“It's true.”
Not only did Joshua buy all the bags from the runway, he even bought one from each of the latest
seasons.
Katherine was so delighted that she did not even complain to Sophia about how boring her
confinement period was. She excitedly unwrapped a bag each day as if they were mystery gifts.
“Wow. How romantic! Soph, could you tell me how Katherine and her husband met?”
Sophia smiled at Charlize. “It's quite a long story.”
“It's perfect, then. I have time tonight anyway.”
Seeing how interested Charlize seemed, Sophia began telling her about the history of how Joshua and
Katherine met.
Although Sophia was just a spectator, she could be considered the witness to their history for the past
thirty years.
Sophia, Katherine, and Joshua had known each other since they were young, but Joshua and
Katherine knew each other before they got to know Sophia.
Both Joshua and Katherine were neighbors when they were kids. While Joshua grew up with his
paternal grandparents, Katherine grew up with her maternal ones.
It was a hot summer's day when Sophia got to know the two. Joshua and Katherine were collecting
bottles in a large sack. The skirt Sophia wore on that day was so pretty that Katherine simply stood
there and stared at her.
Finding Katherine's behavior a little embarrassing, Joshua tugged at the former. She lost her balance
and fell to the ground.
Even so, she did not cry. All she did was get back to her feet and say, “Joshua, look! That girl's so
pretty. She looks like that doll I saw behind the window the other day.”
As Katherine was saying that, she skipped toward Sophia and stared at the latter without saying
anything.
Back then, Katherine did not look as sophisticated as she currently was. One could tell her clothes
were extremely old—a stark contrast to Sophia's skirt.
That was the first time Sophia met the couple. Since then, she often saw them picking up bottles when
she came back from kindergarten. Eventually, they grew closer.
It was in elementary school that Sophia actually got to know Katherine and Joshua.
Katherine's character never changed. Despite coming from a less well-to-do family, she was always
optimistic and cheeky.
Since Sophia was a pretty girl, Katherine took the initiative to make friends with the former on the first
day of school.
Even though they were still young, Sophia had a great memory, and she remembered the hostile look
on Joshua's face when he looked at her.
