The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

“President Morgan requested for my presence, so you can give him a call to get a confirmation from him,” Ian explained upon approaching the reception. A call was swiftly made as soon as the president’s title was mentioned, which didn’t last for long before the receptionist hung up. While the receptionist didn’t tell Ian to go upstairs, she told him to wait for a moment.

The situation confused Sophia as she observed Ian from the sidelines while wondering if Ian never showed himself in the company prior to that moment. She thus approached the receptionist to ask, “How long have you been working here?”

“Almost five years.” There was panic in the receptionist’s response when faced with Sophia. She nodded as she figured that Ian wasn’t doing that great a job as the young master of his family, judging from the fact that the receptionist failed to recognize him despite having worked with the company for five years.

After the two of them waited for a while, a man who appeared to be many years Ian’s senior exited the elevator. He gave a noncommittal response upon seeing Ian, “You’re here.”

However, the man was startled by Sophia’s presence, which led her to sigh inwardly as she struggled to get accustomed to her new found fame. Meanwhile, Ian turned to look at Sophia as he introduced, “He is Sean Morgan, and he… is my elder brother.” The final part of the sentence sounded rather forced, if nothing else.

“Hello.” Sophia nodded toward Sean.

“Hello, Mrs. Constance.” Sean was polite toward her.

“My name is Sophia, so you can call me just that. Addressing me as Mrs. Constance actually sounds a little awkward.” Sophia chuckled.

Silence befell as Sean smiled at her out of courtesy before leading them to the elevator. Most of the companies had a similar structure to their offices, and the same could be said of the Morgan Group.

They went through the administrative procedures to admit Ian into the company at the HR department, and Sean told the staff to assign Ian the position of vice president, working alongside Mr. Zimmel, who would double as Ian’s mentor.
