The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Upon hearing Sophia’s remark, Isabelle was stunned. At this, Sophia grinned and tapped the back of her cell phone case with a finger to remind Isabelle that she was filming her. Isabelle promptly retracted her gaze and dipped her head to stare at the document in her hand.

Being of good breeding, she just felt that her blatantly contemptuous expression earlier would ruin her image if someone else saw it. Snorting once more, Sophia placed her cell phone down.

“I’ve got important business here, so stop messing around. If you’re bored, you can go out and stroll around, perhaps chat with Zack or something,” John said, his voice mild.

Leaning back in the chair, Sophia stretched. Then, something occurred to her, and she replied, “That’s a good idea. I can’t be of any help to you two here, so I’ll just go out and have a look around.” She leisurely headed toward the door, murmuring as she walked, “Earlier, I saw that Dylan was back, and we chatted for a bit.

He said he’s free in the afternoon, so I’ll just go over and visit with him.” John stilled, yet his gaze never left the document in his hand. With her back to them, Sophia smirked and left the office.

Meanwhile, Dylan was in his office. When Sophia went over, she quietly pushed open the door a crack and poked her head in without knocking. Dylan heard the noise and looked over. Upon seeing him, Sophia grinned and asked softly, “Are you busy?”

Dylan merely deliberated for a moment before saying, “No.” Only then did Sophia enter his office, and Dylan straightened the documents on his desk. “What’s the matter? Is John busy?”

Sophia murmured an assent. With her hands behind her back, she leisurely sauntered around Dylan’s office before finally going over to the window and gazing out. “Miss Bailey is here to discuss the collaboration. It was boring to me, so I came out.” After saying that, she even chortled. “I think your place here is much better here. John’s office is just too boring.”
