Female Novel
Chapter 306
Dylan rested his hands on the table. “What will you sell? Have you given it a thought?”
The question sparked Sophia’s enthusiasm and she nodded. “I’ve done research on the internet andsaw plenty of desserts. I think that it’ll work once Robin and I test it out. Honestly, I can actually pick upthe rest when I’m in the kitchen.”
Dylan raised his eyebrows and asked, “Really?” novelbin
Sophia answered seriously, “It’s true! Oh right, you haven’t tried my cooking. Actually, I think they’requite delicious, if I may say so myself. Just ask John if you don’t believe me.” She then turned to look atJohn and ask, “Am I right?”
“Yes. It’s delicious.” John nodded in agreement. He wasn’t sure what secret ingredient Sophia added inthe food but he could clearly taste that it was indeed amazing when he tried it earlier in the dining room.It wasn’t because the others tasted bad but perhaps he was just used to that particular taste.
Sophia loved to have guests over so she took the opportunity to invite Dylan. “If you’re free, pleasecome over to our house and try my cooking!”
Staring at Sophia, Isabelle said straightforwardly, “I’m also very curious about your cooking skills, MissGwendolyn. If you don’t mind, I could come along with Dylan?”
Sophia was stunned. She looked at Isabelle, surprised that the latter would say that. She thought thatIsabelle would hide from her but to her astonishment, she was keen on meeting her head on.Immediately, she smiled. “Sure. I don’t mind. You can come over whenever you’re free.”
Isabelle nodded in thanks. “That’s great. I was afraid that you’ll be angry if I show up.”
“Of course not.” Sophia leaned back on the chair. “You’re the collaborating partner of ConstanceCompany, which is also John’s collaborating partner, so how will I be angry?” With that, she glanced atJohn. “What do you say?”
John had plenty of knowledge in business but he wasn’t as wise in relationships. From theirconversations, he actually sensed that Sophia and Isabelle were competing but he couldn’t understandit entirely so he could only make a guess. Sophia was never fond of Isabelle, most probably due to hismother. Yet, he wouldn’t blame Sophia for that because his mother always mentioned Isabelle andfrequently compared the both of them. Most people would be unhappy about that.
As for Isabelle, when it came to Sophia… Recalling what Isabelle said, he felt that perhaps she sensedthe hostility from Sophia so she reacted the same way too as a form of self defence. After all, anynormal person would fight back if they were targeted. Therefore, the root cause was actually hismother.
After Sophia asked John the question, she stared at him with a smile. Naturally, he couldn’t sayanything else so he just briefly replied and agreed, “Miss Bailey is indeed my collaborating partner andhaving a meal together is no big deal. However, I think that it would be better if we had it outside.” Hewasn’t really willing to invite Dylan over to their house. There was no reason for it but he just didn’t likeit.
Sophia replied, “Right, it’s about business anyway. It’s better if we had a meal outside.” She thennodded in agreement. “I’m sorry for not being considerate.” With that, she turned to look at Dylan. “Inthat case, you should just come alone.”
John choked on his words for a while. Sophia must be doing that on purpose, deliberately pretendingnot to understand his meaning. Meanwhile, Dylan laughed and agreed, “Sure.”
After exchanging a few more words, they started to get impatient.
