The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Logan didn’t say a single word more, only pursing his lips. Meanwhile, John didn’t stick around any longer before he decided to leave for his office due to work. When he left, Sophia said something without looking at him. “Thanks for your help last night.”

John looked back at Sophia, knowing that she was saying that to him. In response, he responded with an affirmative hum. “Just doing the least I could.” In that instant, both of them appeared rather polite to each other. Not long after John left, Logan, who was beat as well, decided to make a move too. At the same time, Sophia felt a headache as she proceeded to head upstairs for a rest, collapsing into her bed for some shut-eye.

In the meantime, John was exhausted as well, although he still had the energy to go about his work. I guess I will return to the company.

Zack was on the way to the office with some documents when he saw his superior returning. Therefore, he went up to him before asking, “So, how’s the situation?”

John responded with an affirmative hum. “We found her, and she is fine.”

Zack heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good news. What about the abductors? Did the police manage to find out who did this?”

John didn’t say a single word as he returned to his own office. Confused with his action, Zack followed behind his boss into the room. John then sat down and explained his analysis to Zack, whereupon the latter frowned and asked, “Isabelle? I don’t think so. She just seems too timid for the job.”

John responded with an affirmative hum and said, “I don’t think so either. It’s just not necessary for her to do that.” Although she may not get along well with Sophia, I don’t see why she’d take it too far. Furthermore, Sophia and Isabelle haven’t met each other up in a while, so it just doesn’t add up to assume she is the culprit.
