Female Novel
Chapter 417
Sophia posted a photo of herself with a facial mask on. It was a rather thin mask, so John could seeher features through it. The photo showed John a side of Sophia that he never got to see, so he spenta long time just staring at it. She looked like a teenage girl who made a cheeky face while with a maskon. Such a gesture would make anybody’s heart skip a beat, but it was more because they were beingattracted by her liveliness than wanting a romance with her.
A chuckle slipped out of John’s lips after staring at it for a long while. That silly girl didn’t know I addedher as my friend again. She will definitely be put at a disadvantage if she continues to be so unalert.
John went through her previous posts, which were all viewable to the public, so he went through herphotos from when she was still living with the Constances. Although she seemed less happy, her postsseemed to retain a level of positivity. She took photos of the sky, the garden, as well as the sunrise, butthere were no photos of herself, or anybody else, as a matter of fact. Nor did anybody from theConstance Family make an appearance in her collection of photos.
There was a tinge of regret within John after he went through all of them. Perhaps it was because ofthe realization that he had about how hard Sophia had been trying to live, but the Constances wereblind to it. He set his phone aside, then lay down on bed before switching the lights off.
He was busy during the coming few days, so he didn’t have time to meet up with Sophia. They didn’teven send each other a text, as if they had cut contact with each other. All the calls John received werefrom an overly-eager Logan, who made multiple calls a day to inquire on the progress of theinvestigation.
However, John didn’t complain about it, instead convinced Logan to wait with patience, as more time
was needed to ensure a thorough investigation was conducted. In short, it wouldn’t do if a mistake wasmade.
Logan would throw a tantrum whenever mention of what happened in the clubhouse was made. Notonly did he curse the Morgan siblings, but he cursed the Bailey mother-and-daughter duo, too.However, the one whom he hated with the most fervor was the young master of the Pooles. All Johndid was listen on, then asked if Logan had gotten in touch with Sophia when he was done complaining.
His query was always met with the affirmative, so John couldn’t help but figure that Logan sure had alot of free time on his hands to be able to contact both Sophia and him, making sure to bother everysingle one of his confidants with his troubles.
Setting that mental note aside, John went on to ask Logan what Sophia was doing. Without concealinganything, he told John everything he knew, as honest as could be, which allowed John to get a graspon Sophia’s whereabouts.
However, John was startled when Logan told him Sophia went for her driving test. “Why didn’t you gowith her?” Judging from Logan’s character, he wouldn’t miss out on a chance for something fun.
“I’ll pass, since Ian is with her, and she didn’t need another person tagging along,” explained Logan. novelbin
At this time, John was holding his phone in one hand, his pen in the other, the pen about to be used tosign on some papers. He stopped in his tracks as soon as he heard what Logan told him. “Ian is withher? Doesn’t he have work?”
Logan let out a cry before replying, “Haven’t I told you? Ian quit his job, so he has been with Sophiaduring the past few days.”
After shutting his eyes to calm himself, John signed on the papers in a hurry before closing the filesand putting his pen down. He then stood from his seat while saying to Logan, “Alright, I heard you.”Upon saying so, he cut the call before leaving his office with his jacket in hand.
Zack was headed to his office when John was on his way to the elevators. There was a look of surpriseon Zack’s face when he saw John. “Boss, where are you headed to?”
The question stunned John to his spot as he tried to figure it out. Where am I going? I was planning onmeeting Sophia, but what business do I have with her?
Zack approached him with a stack of documents, all the while staring at John in confusion. “Are you onoutstation?”
