Joseph Thompson only saw the newspaper with Phoebe Smith's scandalous headlines when he arrived at the Rivera Group office in the morning, and when he saw that Phoebe Smith's rumored boyfriend was Alexander Preston, his brows instinctively knitted.
Last week, his grandmother told him Phoebe seemed to have found a boyfriend and that he was divorced. At the time, he didn't take it to heart, because there were too many divorced men in the world.
However, he never imagined that the divorced man Phoebe had found was Alexander Preston, whose identity was quite awkward for both Phoebe herself and for his relationship with Jaylene Ziel.
In the past few years, when Phoebe looked at him with different eyes than she did at Jonny Thompson and Jeremy Thompson, he knew that Phoebe had a secret crush on him, but he never took it seriously, knowing that Susanna Smith would not allow such a situation to occur.
