Female Novel
Chapter 134
Sophia had breakfast late, so she wasn’t at all hungry. She continued lying on the yoga mat and wentinto various meditation positions.
Meanwhile, John sat on the sofa, and his cell phone rang in no time. He’d initially thought that it wasthe delivery he ordered, but when he picked it up and glanced at it, it turned out to be a call from Mrs.Constance. He stole a peek at Sophia, but she seemed to have dozed off.
After pondering for a moment, he then answered the call. “John, I’m sure you’re on your lunch breaknow, yes?” Mrs. Constance’s voice was placid.
John murmured his agreement. “Why, has anything happened at home?”
Mrs. Constance paused for a moment before saying, “No, it’s just that Belle is here to visit me.” Johnremembered that Isabelle had mentioned going over to visit Mrs. Constance on the phone last night, sohe murmured an acknowledgement.
Mrs. Constance then continued, “If you’re free this noon, come back and have lunch. I cooked quite afew dishes, and most of them are your favorites.”
Without even looking at the time, John replied, “Never mind, it’s too troublesome.”
Mrs. Constance sighed. “What’s so troublesome? You can just go back to the office later. No one willsay anything.”
Still, John declined. Before he could speak further, he then heard Isabelle’s voice from the other end.She seemed to be helping Mrs. Constance, for she smilingly asked, “Mrs. Constance, which plate
should I use for this dish?”
Mrs. Constance rumbled a response to her before saying to John, “Okay, fine. If you’re not comingback at noon, come back at night.” Sighing, John acquiesced. Then, he hung up the phone.
Sophia remained in the same position, appearing as though she’d truly dozed off.
After waiting for a while longer, the delivery came. John went out and took the food in, his hands ladenwith bags since he ordered a feast. He headed to the dining room.
As soon as he walked past her, Sophia’s eyes sprang open. Damn it, it smells too good! It’s far moretempting than his voice when he was on the phone earlier. Nonetheless, she didn’t move a muscle.
After John had set everything out, he then stood by the entrance of the dining room and gazed atSophia who was lying down a near distance away. “If you’re not asleep, come and eat with me.” Hisvoice was very soft. novelbin
Sophia turned it over in her mind. In the next instance, she sat up. “You’re so inconsiderate. You wokeme up by speaking so loudly on the phone.” As she said that, she walked over to the dining room. Hedidn’t just order two servings. This is even enough for three people, and he has even laid out thetableware. She then took a seat at the table. “You shouldn’t have ordered so much. It’ll be a waste ifyou can’t finish it.”
John took his seat across her. “I counted you in.” Sophia pursed her lips and ceased making excuses.
During the meal, neither of them talked. Since they were sitting across each other, John could seeSophia’s dining mannerisms. She’s truly unrestrained in her eating, but it does look rather comfortable.
John still had to work in the afternoon, so he ate relatively quickly. Before Sophia had finished eating,he’d already placed his cutlery down and took a tissue to wipe his hands. “I’ve got to go, so helpyourself.”
Sophia waved a dismissive hand. “Go, go. I’ll clean up here.” Staring at her, John took her in for a fewmore seconds before he left. Now that Sophia was alone, she became even more uninhibited. She atehappily, enjoying the spread before her.
After leaving Sophia’s place, John went straight to his office. However, before he’d even stepped footinto the lobby, he caught sight of the person who was standing at the reception in the lobby upon hisarrival—President McCaw from Infinity Group. Ah, he has the temerity to come looking for me! Withoutfaltering or glancing at the reception, he walked straight in and headed to the elevator.
Meanwhile, President McCaw was still harassing the staff at the reception, insisting on meeting Johndespite repeated explanations from the receptionist that he couldn’t go up to the offices since he hadn’tmade an appointment in addition to the fact that John wasn’t in the office. Midway through hisentreaties, he glanced back, only to spot John. He swiftly rushed over to John. “President Constance!President Constance, you’re finally back. President Constance?”
Without sparing him a single glance, John walked over to the elevator before pressing the button andentering the elevator.
