The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Sophia paused. The moment Mrs. Constance was mentioned, she could already guess who was on the other end of the call.

The person calling said something that caused John to smile. “Alright. Thank you for your hard work.”

John walked over with the phone in his hand and sat on the couch. Then, he took the television’s remote controller, which was next to him, and turned on the television.

When Isabelle heard the sound of television advertisement, she paused what she was saying and asked, “Are you home?”

John answered, “Yes, I just got home.”

Isabelle grinned. “That must be nice. I’m still in the office. There are still many documents to check, so I have to work overtime so that I won’t delay our progress.”

John’s trademark smile appeared on his face. “As long as you don’t work too late, it’s quite productive to work overtime.”

Isabelle agreed along with him. Then, it seemed like she took her time to stretch before she started talking again, “By the way, there are some material requirements from our latest supply. I’ll discuss this with you when we meet and show you the sample.”

John muttered, “Sure.”

Isabelle’s voice had a hint of playfulness in it. “I don’t want to bother you during your work hours, though. What about this? Let’s meet at the golf club in the suburbs this weekend. My father got me a membership so that I could have a balanced work life. However, truth be told, I don’t know how to play golf, so I won’t be able to go on my own.”

John frowned and hesitated. However, Isabelle added, “I’ll bring the sample over and show it to you there.”

John had no choice but to agree to meet her. “Sure. Let’s meet there, then.”
