Sophia's bright smile lifted my spirit considerably.
However, it seemed that something had suddenly crossed her mind.
She looked at me hesitantly and asked softly, "By the way, Joshua hasn't been giving you any trouble recently, has he?"
"Joshua?" I was slightly surprised by her mention of his name. I couldn't help but also feel a tinge of curiosity. Why would she suddenly ask if he had been causing me problems?
I looked at Sophia hesitantly. I was about to ask her further before she suddenly took a call and smiled apologetically. "Samuel, my mom said she forgot her keys and needed me to return home. I'll get going for now."
"Okay." I nodded. "Let me know whenever you're ready to start your job."
My curiosity piqued as I tapped open the trending news after sending her off.
I wanted to see what Joshua had been up to recently.
Since Sophia had brought up her concern, I figured he must be stirring up trouble online again.
I finally understood the true meaning behind Sophia's words when I saw the trending topics online.
The hottest news was that Joshua had held a press conference to announce that he and Abigail had never been romantically involved. He said they were merely business partners and all the previous rumors had been fabricated for publicity.
Joshua's lips trembled under the sharp focus of countless cameras and his expression was filled with panic.
He looked as if someone had pressured him into saying all those words.
I sneered at the sight of that.
I had seen this kind of tactic too many times before.
