Chapter 25

After sending her back to the hotel, Zack went back to his work. Sophia took a bath and called for roomservice so she could have her favorite food. When she was done enjoying herself, she killed time bylying on the bed.

John and Zack should be in the conference by now. Sophia looked outside the window and squinted,remembering the woman beside John that night. Even though they didn’t say a word to each other, itwas as if a big fight had broken out between them. Sophia could feel the woman’s belligerence towardher, and she knew John could feel her enmity toward his companion. Why else would he scoff at meand snort when nobody was looking?

That memory vexed her. When dusk had arrived, Zack told her they were at the banquet. Sophia sat upand replied, ‘Okay.’

She felt smug, for having a spy there made it convenient for her. Then, she went to pick a dress andtook her time doing her makeup. Doing makeup wasn’t an easy thing, and Sophia dragged it out.Thanks to that, it took her one hour before she exited the hotel all dolled up as she slowly walked onher high heels.

Zack had sent her the location, so Sophia hailed a ride there. The banquet was held in a luxuriousrestaurant, and every guest needed to show their invitation card before admittance was allowed.Sophia had nothing like that, but she wasn’t in a hurry either, so she took a stroll outside and sat besidea flowerbed nearby.

The flowers were blooming inside, so Sophia plucked one and put it above her ear. A moment later,she started smiling.

After sitting there for a while, Zack messaged her, telling her to wait at the hotel’s front door. Shecouldn’t enter the banquet hall, but not the hotel, so she came to the front door a while later. Zack waswaiting for her, but from the looks of it, he drank a lot. “Why did you drink so much?” She smiled.

Zack couldn’t smile back at her. “I think we were set up.”

“Is that so?” She arched her eyebrow. novelbin

Zack reeked of alcohol. “I think they’re here for your ex-husband. Come with me. I don’t think I can dothis myself.”

Sophia was surprised. “What do you mean?” Zack took her into the hotel without any explanation.Since Sophia was all dolled up, and Zack obviously came from the banquet hall, the waiter didn’t stopthem.

Instead of taking her to the lobby, he took her to a waiting room. Then, he told her to stay here while hewent outside to settle something.

Sophia wasn’t going to agree to that. “You expect me to wait? I’m here to mess things up, so howshould I do that if I wait?”

Zack looked serious. “I don’t have time to explain, so just listen to me and stay here.” Then, he left theroom.

The flowers were blooming inside, so Sophio plucked one ond put it obove her eor. A moment loter,she storted smiling.

After sitting there for o while, Zock messoged her, telling her to woit ot the hotel’s front door. Shecouldn’t enter the bonquet holl, but not the hotel, so she come to the front door o while loter. Zock woswoiting for her, but from the looks of it, he dronk o lot. “Why did you drink so much?” She smiled.

Zock couldn’t smile bock ot her. “I think we were set up.”

“Is thot so?” She orched her eyebrow.

Zock reeked of olcohol. “I think they’re here for your ex-husbond. Come with me. I don’t think I con dothis myself.”

Sophio wos surprised. “Whot do you meon?” Zock took her into the hotel without ony explonotion.Since Sophio wos oll dolled up, ond Zock obviously come from the bonquet holl, the woiter didn’t stopthem.

Insteod of toking her to the lobby, he took her to o woiting room. Then, he told her to stoy here while hewent outside to settle something.

Sophio wosn’t going to ogree to thot. “You expect me to woit? I’m here to mess things up, so howshould I do thot if I woit?”

Zock looked serious. “I don’t hove time to exploin, so just listen to me ond stoy here.” Then, he left theroom.

Sophia glared at him, but she listened to his advice and stayed inside. The waiting room was deckedout with a sofa and a table that had snacks on it. She went to the windowsill and looked outside, the

traffic unfurling before her. A few moments later, someone opened the door.

Instead of looking back to see who it was, she sighed. “You’re back,” she grumbled. “I don’t want towait, you hear me? I want that woman to suffer! She must feel the pain! I mean, I’m rich, so I can’t justtake that hit lying do—” Before she could finish, someone leaned against her, and he reeked of alcohol.Sophia almost jumped, but before the scream could escape her mouth, she swallowed it back once theperson talked.

“Is that you, Sophia?” John asked, and at the same time, he tried to undress her. Sophia’s dress waseasy to take off anyway.

Sophia turned around to push him away. “Hey, hey, hey, what’s wrong with you? Stop—” When shesaw John though, she stopped, for he looked obviously off.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he was drenched in sweat. He had no time to explain, so John held hershoulder and kissed her.

Sophia was shocked, for John looked so similar to the night they were divorced, but she thought havingsex here was a bit inappropriate. It wasn’t that John cared though, for he tore her dress apart easily.
