Chapter 283
Robin was baffled for a moment before she took over the money and said with a smirk, “Sophia, you’reso generous.”
Sophia flashed a smile at her as this had nothing to do with generosity. Never had she taken advantageof anyone although she had been short of money in the past.
Since the money belonged to Robin, it should of course go to her.
It took quite some time for Zack to reach the shop and meet up with Sophia and Robin.
Seeing that the ladies were already in the shop, Zack said with a smile, “Boss, what do you think? Thisspace must be larger than you have imagined.”
Sophia mumbled, “That’s true. It’s more spacious than I thought.”
Zack leaned against the door frame and gazed at the interior. “I have examined the renovation plan. Ahundred percent of this space will be put to good use. I’m sure when the renovation is completed, theshop will look more comfy than before.”
Robin explained as he let out a sigh, “I did the renovation myself previously to save some money. Imust have been fooled.”
To console Robin, Sophia patted her shoulder. If she didn’t know John and Zack, she would have beenfooled as well.
It was already lunchtime and Zack hadn’t eaten anything. Upon giving it a thought, Sophia suggested,“It’s lunchtime now, so let me treat you guys to a meal. There’s a restaurant nearby.”
Robin quickly waved her hands in embarrassment. “There’s no need for that. Since there’s nothing todo anymore, I’ll just go home. Please go ahead.”
With a frown, Sophia replied, “It’s fine. You don’t have to be overly polite with me.”
“There’s really no need. I’ll go home now. Please go ahead,” Robin said as she directly walked out ofthe shop.
Therefore, Sophia stopped insisting and walked out as well after Robin was gone. “Let’s have a mealtogether. I’m starving.” novelbin
While walking behind her, Zack asked, “Tell me the truth. Did you have a quarrel with your ex husband?Otherwise he wouldn’t have decided not to go home. He’s not that kind of person.”
In response, Sophia hissed at Zack, “What do you mean by this? Why is it always my fault whenanything happens? If John really went out to flirt with other women, are you going to blame me for notcharming enough?”
It was at the moment that Zack realized that he had taken the wrong stance in this matter, which was ashock to him.
Smiling, he walked over and draped his arms around her shoulders. “Oh, please don’t get angry withme. That’s not what I mean. I’m just surprised because my boss never did that before.”
Sophia snorted and thought to herself that John was already a different man.

After they stepped into the nearby restaurant, they ordered some food.
While they were having a meal, Zack’s phone kept ringing.
Helpless, he explained, “They’re all work-related calls. Do these people think I don’t need a rest? Theycan’t even stop bothering me during lunchtime.”
Looking at his phone, he continued, “Nevertheless, most of the things are not important at all.”
Sophia remained silent as she waited for Zack to handle his matters.
After putting down the phone, Zack said, “Come to think of it, I’m already pretty lucky. Most peoplehave to respect your ex husband. As his assistant, I’m somewhat respected as well. Thanks to him, I’min a pretty comfortable position.”
Sophia replied with a smile, “It’s actually because of your hard work. Otherwise, judging from histemperament, he wouldn't have kept you by his side.”
The words pleased him, so he quickly nodded. “That’s right. I’m not trying to blow my own trumpet. Ihave always completed the tasks your ex husband gave to me perfectly, which is not the case for otherassistants. Just look at Dylan’s assistant. Ask around and you’ll find out that his assistant had
embarrassed him countless times. The assistant is not fired thanks to Dylan’s good temper. If he wereyour ex husband’s assistant, he would have been fired.”
