Chapter 360
Sunlight refracted through the café windows. Sophia Sherwood stood in the corner, her nails digging into her palms.
She had just witnessed Ethan Roscente's rare smile after a phone call.
Only Vivian Laurent could evoke that reaction from him.
Sophia picked up her coffee and strode toward Ethan's table in her stilettos.
"Oops!" she gasped, deliberately spilling the entire cup on his suit.
"My apologies, Mr. Roscente!" She hastily grabbed napkins, letting her fingers brush against his chest.
Ethan seized her wrist. "Get lost."
The door chimed as Vivian walked in.
A calculated glint flashed in Sophia's eyes as she collapsed onto Ethan's lap.
"Am I interrupting?" Vivian leaned against the table, arms crossed, her red lips curving.
Ethan stood abruptly, nearly sending Sophia tumbling.
"Dr. Laurent, here for coffee?" Sophia smoothed her skirt. "That was just an accident. I'll have Mr. Roscente's suit cleaned. I used to wash his school uniforms back in high school."
Ethan's expression darkened. "Bullshit."
"I'll wait for you in your office." Sophia shot Vivian a挑衅 look before swaying away.
Vivian pulled out a chair. "Make it quick. Wouldn't want to keep her waiting."
"She's just a classmate. I wasn't involved in her hiring." Ethan spoke rapidly. "She spilled that coffee on purpose."
"Stop." Vivian raised a hand. "I don't care about your little rendezvous."
The server brought coffee. Vivian downed half the cup without looking.
"I came here to yell at you." She slammed the cup down.
Ethan's eyebrow twitched.
"Ethan Roscente, are you out of your mind?" Vivian hissed. "What did I say after signing the divorce papers?"
His Adam's apple bobbed.
"Now the entire hospital knows we were married!" Her voice was venomous. "Vincent Valrose showed up claiming you as his son-in-law. I had to send him to the police station!"
The coffee cup cracked under her grip.
"If I hear you spreading this nonsense again," Vivian narrowed her eyes, "I'll tell everyone we divorced because you're impotent."
Ethan suddenly stared at her cup.
"What?" she sneered. "Got a problem?"
"That's my coffee," he said quietly.
Vivian froze.
