Sophie found such experiences somewhat relatable. If she could play her cards right, winning Mrs. Pittman's sympathy and affection would be a walk in the park.
Sophie saw Mr. Pittman engaged in a conversation on the side, and she made her way towards Mrs. Pittman.
"Mrs. Pittman."
Upon hearing Sophie's voice, Mrs. Pittman turned around. Her eyes lit up at the sight of the jewelry Sophie was wearing. "Ms. Sophie?"
"Hi. I didn't expect you to remember me, Mrs. Pittman." Sophie flashed a sweet smile.
Mrs. Pittman watched Sophie and said, "Last time I saw you, you were just a little girl. I can't believe how much you've grown."
Mrs. Pittman was clearly feeling nostalgic about the swift passage of time. "I heard the Russel Family had some issues recently, and you became a trainee in a singer program?"
"That program fell through a while ago. I'm now a minor shareholder at S Corporation and a full-time homemaker."
"Really?"
Mrs. Pittman herself was a homemaker, which gave them even more to talk about.
"So, your marriage with Mr. Burke..."
Sophie sighed and said, "We're still in the process of getting a divorce. He refuses to sign the papers, and there's not much I can do about it. But I've already moved on and have a boyfriend now. I just hope we can finalize our divorce soon."
"That's a shame..." A look of sympathy flashed in Mrs. Pittman's eyes.
Seizing the moment, Sophie said, "I really admire you and Mr. Pittman's marriage. You two seem so in love."
"Yeah..." Mrs. Pittman's smile was somewhat forced.
Sophie raised an eyebrow and then feigned confusion. "Mrs. Pittman, have you and Mr. Pittman been having some troubles recently?"
"Why would you think that? Our love is as strong as ever..."
Mrs. Pittman's response lacked conviction, prompting Sophie to say, "Men always take for granted what they have, only to regret it once it's gone. I've been through it myself. If James hadn't been keeping that girl on the side, I wouldn't have..."
Sophie cleverly steered the conversation towards marital issues, and sure enough, Mrs. Pittman's expression turned sorrowful.
"Now, she's become Miss Rowena Freeman, and I still have to face her at these events."
