The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Matilda made countless similar promises to Isabelle, but there was no progress between Isabelle and John at all. Matilda kept saying that she’d help Isabelle, but did she ever?

Isabelle pinched her glabella in frustration. “Mrs. Constance, is there no hope for you and Mr. Constance? Did you do it impulsively?”

“Impulsive? No, no. I have long noticed that something is not right with him. He started hooking up with that woman years ago. My guess is that their relationship has persisted, so what do I need a man like him for?”

Isabelle forced a smile. “Ah, is it?” It happened that her phone buzzed, so she picked it up, but the conversation from the other side was inaudible to Matilda. Isabelle agreed to something a few times and ended the call, after which she looked at Matilda. “Mrs. Constance, I have something going on in the company. I’m actually excusing myself specifically to meet with you, and I have to rush back now.”

Failing to sense the change in Isabelle’s attitude, Matilda replied, “Sure, go ahead. Work is more important.”

Isabelle clutched her bag and stood up without even looking at Matilda. “Well, let’s talk again when we’re free then.”

Matilda watched as Isabelle walked out of the cafe, got into a cab, and left. Then, the smile on her face promptly vanished.

She slowly turned around and covered her face, for she had no courage to check out that video of her on the internet. In that video, she looked horrible and totally different from her elegant and poised manner from before.
