Chapter 164
John went over and pushed open the door, standing right at the entrance. “Sophia.” His voice was a tadloud.
Startled, Sophia gave a cry and raised her head in surprise. “Why are you here? Are you looking forDylan?”
John swept his gaze over Dylan, only to see him reclining in his chair while staring at him calmly, evenappearing as though he was anticipating a good show. He lowered his voice and replied, “No. I camehere to look for you. Let’s go back.” novelbin
Sophia hadn’t yet finished her game, so she continued looking down at her cell phone. “Miss Bailey hasleft?”
“Yeah,” John answered. Then, he grew impatient and went over to her before tugging her up from thesofa by the wrist.
Sophia protested vehemently, “Wait! I haven’t worn my shoes yet. My shoes! Hey, John Constance,you’re such a…” Perhaps she’d wanted to curse him out, but she hurriedly ceased talking when sherealized that this wasn’t the right place to do so. She withdrew her hand forcefully. “Let me wear myshoes. Why are you in such a hurry?”
John’s brows furrowed. I’m not in a hurry. I just don’t want other people from the Constance Family tocome over and spot her here. While they appear all innocent and pure, they’re actually very muchcunning. Thus, I don’t want them to see her and Dylan interacting so closely. Standing stock-still, hewaited for her to put on her shoes before declaring, “Let’s go.”
Sophia followed him out of Dylan’s office, but she didn’t forget to turn back and look at Dylan when shereached the door. “I’m leaving. You must come when my new shop opens, okay? It’ll be my treat.”
The corners of Dylan’s mouth lifted. “Sure.”
With a cold expression on his face, John left Dylan’s office and waited for Sophia in the corridor. WhenSophia came out, she cast several looks at him. Baffled, she asked in a lowered voice, “What was thatearlier? Did something happen again?”
John said nothing, so she hazarded a blind guess. “Are you distressed about the video that leaked ontothe Internet? Ah, you don’t have to worry. It’s just a video of a few seconds that can’t prove anything.The Constance Family is rich, so just hire some people to demand the full video in the comments, and Iguarantee you that they’ll definitely be at a loss instantly.” Still, John’s expression didn’t ease,remaining frigid as he kept mum.
Sophia, however, didn’t even bother to look at him. Smacking her lips, she changed the subject. “Butwhy did Miss Bailey leave so soon? That’s not quite right. I thought you two would have talked until youget off work at least.” After she’d said this, she chuckled. “Nonetheless, the picture of you workingtogether with Miss Bailey is truly… truly…” She then tut-tutted without finishing her sentence.
John’s strides were large, and he wholly ignored Sophia who was jabbering at the side. Only after he’dentered his office did Sophia leisurely follow suit. As soon as she stepped into the room, she caughtsight of his glass that was on the coffee table beside the sofa. It’s still where I placed it earlier, but heprobably won’t touch it anymore. Thus, she went over to pick up the glass before walking straight to thetrash can and tossing it in.
Taken aback, John looked at her with a frown. Sophia chortled. “I’ve used it, and it doesn’t seemappropriate for us to share. I’ll buy you another one someday.” However, John’s frown didn’t ease, andhe seemed rather displeased. Nonetheless, Sophia wasn’t bothered about his mood although she usedto be very much concerned about that in the past. Now, all she cared about was her happiness.
She exited the game on her cell phone and simply threw the phone aside before addressing him again.“There’s still some time yet before you get off work. Why did you ask me to come back? Aren’t Idistracting you from your work here?”
After a long while, John declared, “Therefore, don’t make any noise.”
Sophia rolled her eyes. “I’m very much alive, so can I possibly not make any noise?”
John no longer responded to her. Sitting at his desk, he opened a document, but he just couldn’t focus.
Meanwhile, Sophia glanced around before going over to the window. She lay on the windowsill andlooked down at her finger. It’s truly too plain, lacking an adornment of sorts. The diamond on thediamond ring back then was actually massive, thus inconvenient to wear, but I was stubborn then,thinking that the person would remain mine as long as I wore it. I was truly too na?ve and stupid.
