The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

John felt like laughing. Even if Miss Cox wanted to kill herself, that wasn’t his business. McCaw says she’s making a ruckus so she can see me? Trash. John had investigated Infinity Group when he decided to work with them, so he had McCaw’s details.

He didn’t find any problems with him back then, but now the company and McCaw looked unreliable to him. McCaw isn’t clear about the situation even now. He’s even trying to ask for my help over this? Thus, John hung up right away.

Sophia said nothing, for she wouldn’t take part in the business world. The man in monk robes gave her some tea and snacks, and she thanked him before resuming her quiet demeanor.

John couldn’t say anything about his problems with Infinity Group, so he didn’t give a clear answer, since a collaboration is a big thing. The designer didn’t say anything much, aside from something off topic. Sophia could see that John knew these people a long time ago.

John was an aloof man, nor did he talk much, but he was friendlier toward these two. Sophia held her teacup and looked down quietly, looking like she was listening, but actually, she had fallen into a trance.

John looked at Sophia after a while. Since she didn’t make a sound, if nobody paid any attention to her, she would be invisible. Sighing silently, he asked the designer to measure Sophia’s size. They would be leaving after that, for it was getting dark. The man in monk robes and the designer came to send them off, and Sophia smiled at them before going into the car.

John drove her back, but they didn’t talk at all. When they stopped at the residence’s car park, she came out of the car. She didn’t stop to wait for John before going toward the main house, but she stopped after coming to the clearance.

She could see what was happening inside the living room from where she stood. Mrs. Constance was in there along with Old Mrs. Constance, while Isabelle was sitting beside the former; they seemed to be chatting happily. As such, Sophia sneered. What a happy family.
