The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

“They seemed to be rather impudent.” A sigh escaped Sophia. She had a feeling that the Constances also disliked John, but they were smart enough to keep their thoughts to themselves instead of showing them.

On the flip side, things seemed worse with the Morgans, as they wouldn’t even pretend to get along with Ian. It was proof that they were less tolerant toward people, and it would affect their business in the long run.

“Sure, I’ll be right back.” Ian gave her a nod. The staff from HR came in and handed her a glass of water after he left, while Sean followed behind the staff.

“President Morgan, he’s out, if you’re here for Ian.” It wasn’t hard for Sophia to surmise his intentions as she held the glass between her palms.

Sean cut to the chase and didn’t seem to mind laying his cards out. “No, I’m here for you.”

“What’s your plan, President Morgan? Are you trying to filter through the company your brother keeps?” The ambiguous answer was due to Sophia’s doubt in whether she should be honest.

“That’s not the case, so please don’t overthink this, Mrs. Constance.
