The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Zack’s gaze remained on the man beside him as he asked, “Um, do you need it right now?”

Sophia laughed at this. “What’s the use of it if you’re going to give it to me after 72 hours?”

He pursed his lips before he replied, “Well, um… okay.” His answer seemed to be a little forced. She ended the call right after this.

Zack slowly put his phone down as he said, “Boss, about the pills, I—”

“Go on and buy it. We can discuss the rest once you’re back.” John had his head buried in piles of documents as he sat on the couch by a side. He didn’t sound too troubled by it.

Zack was surprised to see this as he asked, “Are you really going to let her take the pills, my kind boss?”
