The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

John went over and pushed open the door, standing right at the entrance. “Sophia.” His voice was a tad loud.

Startled, Sophia gave a cry and raised her head in surprise. “Why are you here? Are you looking for Dylan?”

John swept his gaze over Dylan, only to see him reclining in his chair while staring at him calmly, even appearing as though he was anticipating a good show. He lowered his voice and replied, “No. I came here to look for you. Let’s go back.”

Sophia hadn’t yet finished her game, so she continued looking down at her cell phone. “Miss Bailey has left?”

“Yeah,” John answered. Then, he grew impatient and went over to her before tugging her up from the sofa by the wrist.

Sophia protested vehemently, “Wait! I haven’t worn my shoes yet. My shoes!

She withdrew her hand forcefully. “Let me wear my shoes. Why are you in such a hurry?”

John’s brows furrowed. I’m not in a hurry. I just don’t want other people from the Constance Family to come over and spot her here.

Smacking her lips, she changed the subject. “But why did Miss Bailey leave so soon? That’s not quite right. I thought you two would have talked until you get off work at least.” After she’d said this, she chuckled.

strides were large, and he wholly ignored Sophia who was jabbering at the side. Only after he’d entered his office did Sophia leisurely follow suit. As soon as she stepped into the room, she caught sight of his glass that was on the coffee table beside the sofa. It’s still where I placed it earlier, but he probably won’t touch it
