After a pause, Sophia looked up at Dylan. “The construction has officially started but I’m not sure how

long it will take for the renovations to be completed. I bet it won’t take long since the shop isn’t huge.”

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 and

saw plenty of desserts. I think that it’ll work once Robin and I test it out. Honestly, I can actually pick up

the rest when I’m in the kitchen.”

Dylan raised his eyebrows and asked, “Really?”

Sophia answered seriously, “It’s true! Oh right, you haven’t tried my cooking. Actually, I think they’re

quite delicious, if I may say so myself. Just ask John if you don’t believe me.” She then turned to look at

John and ask, “Am I right?”

“Yes. It’s delicious.” John nodded in agreement. He wasn’t sure what secret ingredient Sophia added in

the 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, please

come over to our house and try my cooking!”

Staring at Sophia, Isabelle said straightforwardly, “I’m also very curious about your cooking skills, Miss

Gwendolyn. 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 that

Isabelle 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 Constance

Company, which is also John’s collaborating partner, so how will I be angry?” With that, she glanced at

John. “What do you say?”

John had plenty of knowledge in business but he wasn’t as wise in relationships. From their

conversations, he actually sensed that Sophia and Isabelle were competing but he couldn’t understand

it entirely so he could only make a guess. Sophia was never fond of Isabelle, most probably due to his

mother. Yet, he wouldn’t blame Sophia for that because his mother always mentioned Isabelle and

frequently 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 sensed

the hostility from Sophia so she reacted the same way too as a form of self defence. After all, any

normal person would fight back if they were targeted. Therefore, the root cause was actually his

mother.

After Sophia asked John the question, she stared at him with a smile. Naturally, he couldn’t say

anything else so he just briefly replied and agreed, “Miss Bailey is indeed my collaborating partner and

having a meal together is no big deal. However, I think that it would be better if we had it outside.” He

wasn’t really willing to invite Dylan over to their house. There was no reason for it but he just didn’t like

it.

Sophia replied, “Right, it’s about business anyway. It’s better if we had a meal outside.” She then

nodded in agreement. “I’m sorry for not being considerate.” With that, she turned to look at Dylan. “In

that case, you should just come alone.”

John choked on his words for a while. Sophia must be doing that on purpose, deliberately pretending

not to understand his meaning. Meanwhile, Dylan laughed and agreed, “Sure.”

After exchanging a few more words, they started to get impatient.
