Ifyour grandpa was still alive, he would have…”
At that moment, William was overcome with emotions and stopped talking. Had John’s grandfatherbeen around, things would not have ended this way.
John frowned a little because he had an aversion to this topic. “Alright. I know what to do. Don’t worry,for I’ll be considerate toward Sophia. After all, I have promised Grandpa to protect her to the best of myability.”
William nodded slowly. “It’s good as long as you have a plan.” He stood up and said, “Enjoy your lunch.I’m not going to bother you any longer.”

The thought of having a discussion with Sophia made him feel uneasy, but he could not pinpoint thesource of his discomfort.
He took another few mouthfuls of food, and his phone buzzed on the table.
Isabelle had sent him a text via WhatsApp with a form attached. It was a form for stock arrangementafter they officially started the collaboration.
Two seconds after that, Isabelle followed up with a text. ‘Have you eaten lunch?’
He stared at the text for a while before replying, ‘I’m eating now.’
She sent him a smiling emoji and said that she was eating lunch too. Since she was eating alone, shewanted it to be a simple meal and had ordered food delivery to her company.
This time, John did not reply to her. He merely took a look at the form before clicking out fromWhatsApp.
He continued to stare at the interface for a while. After some thought, he went to check his Facebook.He didn’t really like to check it because he usually would not upload any life updates.
He was not interested in what everyone else’s day looked like. However, he probably was bored out ofhis mind because he was now scrolling through Facebook.
John didn’t have a lot of contacts on the site. The relationships with most business partners weremostly handled by Zack. Therefore, his contact list was very limited.
Scrolling down, he immediately saw Isabelle’s post with a photo of her takeout for lunch.
Like what she said, she was in her office and had ordered a delicious spread. Aside from the foodphoto, she uploaded another selfie in which she was holding a pair of disposable cutlery and smiling atthe camera.
John took a quick look before scrolling down. Soon, he saw Logan’s post that was uploaded veryrecently.
It was a post of his Chinese lunch, which was more sumptuous compared to Isabelle’s. Logan did notshow the faces of his lunch buddies, but he wrote that he was having lunch with two good friends in thecaption.
Two good friends...
