The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Starlight Mall was not far away from the Constance Company.

After Sophia hung up the call, she slowly walked out.

Perhaps Zack’s voice sounded slightly exaggerated because there were employees around him, or

because there were other senior executives around him.

Nevertheless, Zack really would not let go of any chance to act.

Sophia did not wait long before Zack came over to fetch her.

Seeing the bags of clothes beside Sophia, he froze slightly before laughing. “Now this is what a rich

lady should look like.”

Sophia sneered, “Rich ladies have servants by their side to help them while I’m a one-man band.”

“You still have me.” Zack helped carry her stuff as both of them walked toward the car.

Sophia asked, “Who was by your side when I called you just now?”

Zack paused for a while. His tone of voice changed and he sounded slightly unhappy. “It was Elder Mr.

Bailey. He said that he just dropped by to greet President Constance.”

Sophia was startled and turned to look at Zack. “Even Elder Mr. Bailey came?”

Surely, this was not a small battle.

Zack placed everything Sophia had bought into the car and replied, “That’s right. I didn’t buy it at all

when he came by so early and told us that he was just dropping by.”

He proceeded to open the car door for Sophia while his voice had a hint of sarcasm in it. “I’m guessing

that Isabelle said something to them when she went back home yesterday. Hence, Elder Mr. Bailey

came by to understand the entire situation.”

Sophia raised her eyebrows and asked, “Was he still there when you left?”

“Yes.” Zack nodded his head. “He’s still discussing the current situation of the company’s operations.”

He went around and got into the car. While buckling his seatbelt, Zack continued, “However, our

company has no business relationship with the Baileys. It’s funny how he said he came by to discuss

the company’s current condition.”

Sophia leaned back in her car seat and rolled her eyes. “You can drive now.”

Sophia was unsure of how much Isabelle knew about the matter between John and herself.

However, based on how much Mrs. Constance liked her, she must have told Isabelle everything.

Since she told Isabelle everything, she might have told her about the divorce between John and

Sophia.

It seems that I have to cause more trouble in the future for this Matilda, who can’t do anything right.

Sophia waited until the car had arrived at the Constance Company before she opened the door and got

down by herself.

Zack helped carry her stuff out of the car.

Both of them entered the hall and went straight toward the elevator.

The elevator they took was a special one that led straight to John’s office.

Meanwhile, Elder Mr. Bailey was still in John’s office.

Just as Sophia walked toward the entrance, she could already hear his voice.

She was unable to recognize the Baileys. However, when she thought about it, even if she did not

recognize them, there was still hatred between her and the Baileys.

Initially, she was the one who came between them all of a sudden, destroying the marriage between

the Constances and the Baileys.

Sophia stood at the entrance and took a deep breath before pushing open the office door. “Honey, I’m

back.”

Sophia put on a smile as she entered the office—as if she did not know that there was someone else

present in the office.

On the other hand, John was sitting on a sofa while Elder Mr. Bailey sat across from him.

Seeing that Sophia had entered the office, John stood up and, with a smile on his face, said, “You’ve

been gone for so long. You must be tired.”

Sophia went over and threw herself into John’s arms. She then said in a delicate voice, “No. It’s really

hot outside. I’m really…”

She paused for a while before looking at Elder Mr. Bailey with a shocked face. She felt embarrassed

and continued, “I see you have a guest here.”

John smiled and hugged her. “It’s alright. Elder Mr. Bailey just came by to say hello.”

The smile that was originally on Elder Mr. Bailey’s face had completely disappeared.

His eyes were staring cautiously at Sophia.

Naturally, she felt the fierce look in his eyes.

However, she was not afraid at all. Instead, she looked directly at Elder Mr. Bailey in a respectful way.

“Oh. This must be Miss Bailey’s grandpa. It must be fate. I just met Miss Bailey yesterday, and now I’m

meeting Elder Mr. Bailey himself. Tsk, tsk. Look at this; our family does have a lot of fate with the

Baileys.”

Sophia was implying something in her sentence. As long as one had a brain, they could hear the

hidden meaning behind it.

Then, Elder Mr. Bailey squinted his eyes and proceeded to stand up slowly.

Although he was old, he took good care of his body and still had black hair.

He was slightly plump and had a strong aura surrounding him.

He looked at John and said, “It seems that there are still things going on at your side. We’ll talk again

another day when we have the time.”

John nodded in agreement. “Alright.”

Without looking at Sophia, Elder Mr. Bailey turned around and walked out.

According to formality, John needed to send him off.

However, Sophia immediately held him back and quickly instructed Zack, who was standing by the

entrance. “Zack, hurry up and send Elder Mr. Bailey off. We can’t give him a cold-shoulder.”

With this, Sophia placed her arms around John’s neck and said, “Honey, let me tell you; I found a lot of

good stuff when I went shopping today. Since I was alone, I could not carry everything by myself. If only

you were by my side…”

John remained silent and waited for a while before pulling down her arms. “Alright. He’s gone.”
