The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Isabelle came prepared with some documents about the details of the collaboration and proclamation of rights concerning the Baileys when it came to the contract. John came over and sat down beside Sophia, turning into his usual self while working.

Taking up the documents, he read all the clauses. Such a collaboration was rather simple, and the Baileys didn’t demand anything over the top, so he merely picked out a few clauses and proposed his opinion.

Sophia didn’t understand a single word since she knew nothing about business. Even the business terms John and Isabelle used went over her head. Thus, she sat at the side with John’s glass still in her hand. As she watched them getting engrossed in their discussion, she chuckled soundlessly.

Well, this is the difference. No wonder Mrs. Constance groused every day that I’m not Isabelle’s match and I’m of no help to John. When we sit together and open our mouths, our true capabilities shine through. I’m merely glib, while she’s truly capable. This realization had her feeling chagrined.

Taking a gulp of water, she then brought the glass to John’s lips. “Have some water.” John’s brows furrowed slightly, and he turned to look at her. She doesn’t look as though she’s trying to stir up trouble. Her expression’s placid. Perhaps it’s just a subconscious action, nothing more. He pursed his lips.

She then placed the glass onto the table. Upon seeing that John and Isabelle were immersed in the discussion, she slowly got to her feet and went over to John’s desk.

It was a snippet of when John attended Infinity Group’s bullsh*t party. There were quite a lot of people in the video, seemingly Infinity Group’s higher management personnel or the like. Meanwhile, Zack stood beside

CCTV surveillance that night, and Infinity Group will be on the losing end once the public calls for the entire footage of the event. She didn’t bother to read the comments underneath. They probably paid people off to write some favorable comments, but it won’t help to resolve the

that, she kept an eye on the situation between John and Isabelle. The two of them seemed very much engrossed, John’s expression solemn as he talked

did carry a hint of derision. She merely stared at Sophia for two seconds before retracting her gaze to look at John with a faint smile on her face. However, John didn’t

blow up. John is here, and there’s no concrete evidence, so I’ll be on the losing end if I fly into a rage as I did back at Constance Residence. Leaning back in the chair, she mulled it over for a while before taking out her cell phone and tapping the camera icon. She pretended to be looking

a look as well, but perhaps he knew her well, so he retracted his gaze after a single glance. However, Isabelle remained staring at her. Shifting her cell phone, Sophia smirked and arched an eyebrow at Isabelle, her expression utterly provocative. Isabelle’s face turned frosty, and the contempt in her expression deepened.

in the next moment, her voice was completely mismatched with the expression on her face, mirthful and friendly. “You two are really serious while working,
