Female Novel
Chapter 158
It didn’t seem as though there was any awkwardness on Ian’s part, for he outright asked, “Where’sSophia?”
Turning partly, John glanced out the office, but he didn’t see any sign of Sophia and Zack. Thus, heanswered, “She stepped out. Is anything the matter?”
Is anything the matter? After thinking for a moment, Ian said, “I’ll call her back later, then.” After sayingthat, he hung up right away.
Holding Sophia’s cell phone, John stared at it for a long while before snorting indifferently. He must beaware of my relationship with Sophia, else he wouldn’t have been so composed. Whoever places a callonly to be answered by the callee’s husband will be slightly discomfited, but not him. Besides, he feltthat Sophia must have told Ian that they were divorced judging from Ian’s interaction with her. Shereally trusts him, huh? He then tossed the cell phone back onto the sofa without deleting the callhistory.
He’d just returned to his desk and taken his seat when Sophia and Zack came back. Zack orderedquite a lot of food, and the two of them laid out the food on the coffee table across the sofa. As Sophialaid out the tableware, she urged John, “Come and eat. Hmm, you didn’t eat in the morning, so don’ttell me you haven’t eaten anything until now?”
Stilling briefly, Zack stole a peek at her. Then, he exclaimed, “He didn’t eat breakfast? If so, he hasn’teaten anything until now. He’s been busy ever since he came. Ah well, he isn’t a robot, so his bodywon’t be able to take it.”
Startled, Sophia scoffed, “So, he truly hasn’t eaten, huh? Well, is there a need to be so anxious justnovelbin
because of a paltry matter?”
Zack was stunned, having not expected such a reaction from her, for he’d thought that she’d be a touchconcerned at least. After cautiously peeking at John, he breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that hewasn’t affected in the least.
John waited until they’d set the table before coming over, taking a seat beside Zack. After taking a bite,he said, “A friend of yours called earlier. He rang twice, so I took the call for you.”
Sophia murmured an acknowledgment. “Who called?”
John’s brows furrowed. “The caller ID was Ian Morgan.”
“Oh, him.” Sophia beamed. “I’ll call him back after eating.” If it were a single young lady wearing herexuberant expression, one would even think that the caller was a lover.
As they began eating, no one said anything. Sophia wasn’t all that hungry now since she’d eaten a bitwith Ian earlier, so she was mainly picking the things she liked and taking a few bites. Then, she putdown her cutlery. “You guys eat. I’m going out to make a phone call.”
When she’d gone out, Zack groused in displeasure, “What the hell? She has just known him for a fewdays, yet she’s this elated by a mere phone call?”
John chuckled. “Perhaps they just get along well.”
Zack curled his lips. “The Morgan Family isn’t comparable to the Constance Family, so it’s isn’tworthwhile for Miss Gwendolyn to abandon you and find someone from the Morgan Family.”
John threw Zack a look. “There isn’t such a concept in love. Compatibility is the key.” After he’d saidthis, he paused for two seconds before adding, “I’m incompatible with Sophia.”
Pursing his lips, Zack muttered after a long while, “What constitutes being compatible and vice versa?”
Well… John couldn’t quite answer this. At the end of the day, I’m just not compatible with Sophia in allaspects. She isn’t the type of woman I want although I’m not sure what that is. Raising his head, hegazed out a window on this side of the corridor and saw Sophia standing in the corridor, talking on thephone. She was rather happy, her face wreathed in a smile, and he stared at her for a long time. If I justhave to name one aspect in which we’re compatible, then perhaps it’s only physical compatibility weshare.
