Female Novel
Chapter 114
Sophia did not know how long she had been asleep, but she was in a bit of a daze when she woke up.
Looking around, she had no idea what room she was in.
She stayed in bed for a bit before getting down to go open the door.
John was not in the office. It was all empty.
She stretched then turned back to look at the lounge room.
The rich never forget to enjoy themselves no matter what. Who knew it was possible to have a loungeroom inside an office?
She was the one who knew too little about the world.
If I take over that dessert shop, I can probably do the same and have my own lounge room of somesort.
She sat down on the sofa and looked at the time. She had not slept for that long.
There was still a lot of time left before people got off work.
She was bored out of her mind so she left his office.
This time, she did not take a walk inside the Constance Company but took the elevator down and wentoutside.
People were coming and going in the afternoon buzz.
She stood at the entrance of the Constance Company for a while before walking down a street.
The neighboring area was filled with office buildings where commercialization was deeply ingrained.
She had never been to a place like that before so it was all very new to her.
Not too far ahead, there was a chain store that did bridal dress photoshoots.
The storefront was huge. As she was walking by, she spotted a wedding dress that was placed in thedisplay window.
She stopped in her tracks.
At the time, her wedding with John was very grand, but it also made her very flustered.
Since she had never been to such a large-scale event, she was actually frightened. Sophia did not know how long she had been asleep, but she was in a bit of a daze when she woke up.
The Constance Family also had many rules. The housekeeper who Mrs. Constance sent spent almostthe entire night telling her everything—about what she had to look out for, about the kind of people shewould meet, as well as the kind of expressions she should have on her face.
Back in her village, she had seen the look on people’s faces when they got married.
They were all laughing and happy. novelbin
But being here, she was not able to smile at all.
Closing in, she looked at the wedding dress in the display window.
Her wedding dress at the time was said to have been bought with a large sum of money from overseasthen shipped to them by air.
Because Mrs. Constance wanted to show off, she had introduced that wedding dress to Sophia.
She talked about the number of diamonds on the dress and how they were all embroidered by hand.
Sophia did not understand any of those things, but she simply felt more tired than usual while wearing itbecause it was so heavy.
That wedding dress was still hung up in one of the rooms inside the main building at the ConstanceResidence now.
What a waste.
Even if John got married again, Isabelle would not want to use something that Sophia had used before.
It was so expensive and it was just tossed aside.
There were customers inside the bridal shop. She saw the worker walk past with a gift box in her
hands.
She stared at what was inside and felt slightly remorseful.
She always thought that a good woman like her would only have to put on a wedding dress once.
Especially when she was being tormented at the time of her wedding, she swore to herself that thatwould be her first and last marriage in this life.
In the end, the slap in the face only came late but it was not non-existent.
It had not been a year yet. The universe was giving her another chance.
Taking a deep breath, she turned around and continued walking ahead.
She had walked pretty far when she discovered a bus stop and went to sit on the long bench there.
There were not many people. Since it was working hours, not a lot of people were out idling around.
However, Sophia sat there and did not think of going anywhere.
People came and went. Cars stopped then left. She was just watching them aimlessly.
As she was looking at the cars passing by in front of her, there was a brief moment where she felt quitelost.
She did not know what her future held or how to walk down this path.
Grabbing her phone, she thought, John should be back at the office by now.
Did he notice that she was gone?
There was no call or message.
She sighed. I don’t know what I was hoping for.
Since no one minded, she kept sitting in the same spot.
Sitting there was no different than sitting inside John’s office.
When the sky got dark, a call from him finally came.
She was not unreasonable and answered it right away.
His voice was neither rushed nor slow. “Where did you go?”
She reported her location to which he responded with, “Why did you go so far?”
She could not tell if he sounded impatient or perplexed.
Pursing her lips, she hung up on him straight away.
