The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

She coughed. “We figured that it would be merrier if everyone were to eat dinner together.”

William replied, “Oh, sure. I’ll head over after work.”

Matilda immediately hung up after that. Then, she started regretting what she did. What an embarrassment. Why did I blush? Why was I being so awkward and shy when I’m already at this age?

William chuckled lightly after he hung up. Even across the phone call, he could still sense Matilda’s awkwardness. In fact, he could even imagine her facial expression right then. That thought amused him greatly.

After placing his phone down, he continued reviewing his documents before getting his assistant to come over and instructed them on things to do so that he could leave.

By the time he finished arranging everything, it was already almost time for him to clock out.

After packing up his stuff, William went to John’s office and wanted to ask him if he wanted to leave together.

However, John had already left.

William didn’t think much about it as he figured that John was probably heading toward Logan’s place already, so he took the elevator and went downstairs.

After getting out of the elevator to the hall, William halted when he saw Yolanda sitting on the couch in the hall. It was obvious that she was waiting for him.
