The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

“It’s for the greater good,” said Isabelle, which had some truth to it.

Logan sat down before turning to face John. “Have a seat and some water. You performed well too.”

Failing to stifle a laugh, John commented, “You did well too, seeing that the journalists were so scared of you that they didn’t dare to ask you a single question.”

Upon hearing John’s comment, Logan leaned against his seat while crossing his legs. “I hate people like them, as all they could do was pick at us. Their reports were what stirred the pot when there really wasn’t much to see. They just want everyone to be miserable.”

After brooding on it, Sophia asked, “Are we going to wait here until the banquet is finished?”

“That won’t be necessary. I saw the doors leading to the dance floor opened, and there were already some people there,” explained John.

Dance floor? Sophia figured she should skip it altogether since she didn’t know how to dance. Back then, Matilda had Sophia learn some dance moves with the reasoning that Sophia might need to know about it in case she needed to accompany John on some occasions. However, Matilda was also dissatisfied with Sophia’s slow progress and inelegant posture, which only seemed to irk Matilda, so Sophia ceased the effort altogether.

Upon recalling what happened in the past, Sophia wore a smile when she realized Matilda might have been simply trying to make things difficult for her by having her attend all sorts of classes, only to cancel them later on.
