John had lunch with Zack. While they were eating, they talked about work. Before they finished, a call

from Sophia came. John remembered that Sophia wanted him to take a look at the store for her. He

answered the call. On the other end, it was obvious that she had just finished eating and she even

burped while talking.

He gave her the address of his location so she could make her way over first and they could depart

together once he was done eating. She thanked him excitedly then hung up.

Meanwhile, Zack heard the way she was talking. “The little noises she made were so pristine.”

John put his phone down. “You like that?”

Zack was shocked. “Don’t say that so carelessly, Boss.”

John did not reply to him, and Zack quickly explained, “I like amorous women. Sophia won’t do; she’s

too small.”

Is she? John recalled the way she looked in her provocative pajamas last night which showed off her

curves. She’s not small. Sophia was thin in appropriate places and was voluptuous where she was

supposed to be. It must be nice to touch—darn it. He was letting his mind go astray again. Hence, he

quickly pulled his focus back.

By the time they finished eating, Sophia’s taxi had arrived. Zack liked her company, so he also went

along with them. When John arrived at the dessert shop under Sophia’s guidance, it was still just as

empty.

Zack took one look at it and shook his head. “The building is too unrefined. It doesn’t grab the people’s

attention.”

John looked at the front of the shop from inside the car. “The location is not bad, but the exterior just

won’t do. The name of the shop isn’t good either; it doesn’t sound original.”

The three of them got down and went to inspect the inside of the shop. The lady at the cash register

was still looking at her phone and came over when she heard a sound. She recognized Sophia right

away. “Oh, it’s you. What would you like to have today?”

Sophia ordered some desserts and a milk tea to go while John took a look around the shop. The place

was not huge, but there was definitely a problem with the interior. It could have been clean and simple,

but the current interior looked cheap and worn out.

When Sophia paid the bill, she tested the waters and asked the lady if she was really going to stop

doing this business. The lady was very adamant. “I’m not doing it anymore. Heck, I’ll be satisfied if I

don’t suffer any losses.”

Sophia nodded. “Actually, I think opening a shop here won’t be too bad.” She blinked at her. “If I take

over this shop, will you be willing to work with me?”

The lady was taken aback. Then, she smiled. “I think you’re a good person. Let me be honest with you.

It’s not worthwhile to open a dessert shop here. Look around. I’m the only one of my kind here, but I

still don’t have a lot of customers. This place really won’t work. Don’t waste your money.”

Sophia smiled but did not say anything this time. Once John was done looking around, they headed

outside together. When they got in the car, John said, “If we renovate this place, it should still be

alright.”

There was not another similar shop nearby so the competition was not too high. Moreover, it was

located in a busy district where there was a significant volume of people. When Sophia heard what he

said, her mind felt at ease. “I’ll let you guys try these this afternoon. You just ate so you won’t be able to

taste anything.”

John drove back to the Constance Company, whereupon Sophia followed them in. Because she had

shown her face yesterday, the employees did not overreact as much as they did when they saw her

yesterday. They made their way to John’s office, and since it was not time to start work yet, John sat in

his seat and rested.

After taking a seat on the sofa, she started to ramble on about designs. She had not taken over the

shop yet, but she was already thinking of what to do when she started the business. He stood at one

side and watched her count on her fingers. She was sitting cross-legged on the sofa. Her dress was a

bit longer and it covered her thighs. From the side, her face looked small and delicate.

Did he like women like that? He certainly did not. Even though he did not like amorous women like

Zack did, he still liked elegant women that everyone admired. He was not interested in a modest

woman from a humble family. He gradually shut his eyes, but the chatter did not cease.
