The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Sophia was surprised, for nothing happened between John and the woman that day. Furthermore, there were multiple CCTVs there since it was a banquet, so once someone checks the CCTV footage, everything will come to light. It’s indeed pandemonium with the public opinion now with this exposé, but the backlash when she’s proven a liar later will be exceedingly severe.

Instead of calling Zack back, she called John outright. John promptly answered the call, sounding rather placid. “Is the scandal on the Internet impacting you much?” Sophia asked.

John even chuckled as he replied, “Impact is inevitable since others have no idea what transpired.” Perhaps everyone is more willing to believe such a scandalous thing.

Sophia’s brows furrowed. “There’s CCTV footage, no?”

Heaving a sigh, John remarked, “They’ve probably destroyed the CCTV footage.” That President McCaw is no fool, so he won’t possibly stand out and accuse me boldly otherwise.

Sophia, however, found it rather hilarious. “All the CCTV footage is gone?” After all, while I’ve been avoiding the crowd when I was there that day, I did make an appearance at various events, so the CCTVs must have captured me.

“Since they dared to have the media publish this, they must have made the necessary preparations. Thus, there’ll likely be no clues from the CCTV footage,” John answered.

Sophia pursed her lips. At this precise moment, the arrival of the singer’s flight was announced, so she walked toward the gate.

On the other end, John startled. “You’re at the airport?”

Sophia hummed in assent. “The singer has arrived, so I came to pick him up.”
