Why am I just feeling perturbed for no reason? Sophia clutched her hair. Actually, I am feeling

famished. I was already a bit hungry after rolling in the hay with him last night, but my drowsiness was

more prevalent then. After washing up for a bit, she then hurried downstairs and cooked some noodles.

When she sat down to eat, she scrolled her cell phone, only to see a news report in the finance section

about the official collaboration between the Constance and Bailey Family.

It was said that the two companies signed the contract today, and Elder Mr. Bailey even brought Old

Mr. Bailey as well as some higher management personnel to Constance Company to effectuate the

signing of the contract.

Few people read the finance section, so the comments underneath were sparse. Surprisingly, however,

a few comments were all about John and Isabelle. Those comments brought up the fact that John and

Isabelle were engaged in the past, but Sophia inexplicably cut in midway.

Sophia scanned the comments to find that they were all basically saying that perhaps Isabelle and

John were a better match since the two of them were equals in terms of status, education, and

breeding, thus a match made in heaven. Also, they mentioned the possibility of a reconciliation

between John and Isabelle since the Constance and Bailey Family chose to collaborate despite the

delicate relationship between the two.

Sophia looked at the comments while slurping her noodles, snorting incessantly. Hah, I’ll never believe

that these comments have nothing to do with Isabelle Bailey! They can’t possibly be organic without

having been paid for considering their congruency and consistency.

After reading all the comments, she then closed the page. Fortunately, not many people read such

news, so these comments can’t gain traction. They’ll just give Isabelle Bailey a moment’s gratification.

She then lingered in the living room for a while after finishing her noodles, but she just felt irritated

although she herself wasn’t quite certain whether she was irked with John or Isabelle. After turning it

over in her mind, she went upstairs and changed. As the marks on her neck were truly too obvious, she

put on a dress with lace at the collar to somewhat conceal them a bit.

When she’d gotten ready, she hailed a taxi and went straight to Constance Company. It was almost

lunchtime now. The receptionist recognized her, thus greeted her with a smile and allowed her to go up

without stopping her. Hence, Sophia went up. After all, the news report she’d read earlier had just been

published a short while ago. Humming as she stepped out of the elevator, she headed toward John’s

office.

At this time, John was in his office, wrapped up in work. Sophia pushed open the door and walked in.

Still a tad discomfited, she gave a light cough. “Are you busy?”

John was momentarily startled. “Why are you here?”

“I went over to the dessert shop, so I dropped by to visit you,” Sophia replied, simply cooking up an

excuse.

John placed the document in his hand aside. “I’m a bit busy, so take a seat first.”

As soon as his words fell, his office door swung open, admitting Elder Mr. Bailey, Old Mr. Bailey, and

Isabelle, with William bringing up the rear. Probably having not expected Sophia to be here, Elder Mr.

Bailey who took the lead was stunned. Old Mr. Bailey, Isabelle, and even William who followed after

him all had similar expressions on their faces, one after another.

Inwardly gleeful, Sophia raised her hand and greeted, “Hello, it’s great to see all of you.” I just knew

that these people must be still here, and sure enough, I’m right.

Isabelle recovered quickly, her stunned state lasting for a mere second before she smiled and looked at

Sophia before shifting her gaze to John. “The contract has been signed, and it’s almost noon now, so

we came over to ask you whether you’d like to join us for lunch.”

John stood up and glanced at William.
