The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 966

That woman is indeed resourceful, knowing how to save herself by resorting to flattery. John organized his thoughts

and said, “Ever since Husky was hurt yesterday, I’ve been pulling my weight around to find out who put him in the

hospital.”

Sophia nodded in agreement and asked, “Have you found that out then?”

John responded with an affirmative hum. “Yup, we have a lead on that, but we need Husky to wake up before

moving on.” Before Sophia could respond further, John changed the subject and said, “By the way, I got a call from

the hospital and was told that Husky is fine despite his severe injury. He should be able to come around today and

will be advised to rest after this.”

You’re quite the slippery b*stard, Husky! Thank God you managed to fool your attackers by playing dead when they

almost killed you. I can’t help but wonder who else is better than you when it comes to tricks and shenanigans.

Meanwhile, Sophia decided to give up pressing on upon noticing John’s reaction. After chatting for about ten

minutes, Sophia could tell from his voice that he was tired, so she told him to get some shut-eye since they could

talk about it when he came home in the afternoon. Feeling tired as Sophia thought, John listened to her and said,

“Alright, I’ll get back to my nap then. You should too.”

Upon hanging up the call, Sophia gently massaged her temples, slowly lying down in bed. Beat and frustrated, she

felt helpless as she knew her usual self would have made her way to see John right away. After all, she was a

decisive person who’d act instead of dwell on her worry. That’s who I am.

In the meantime, John was in the office, having arrived earlier that morning to rest there after he was done with his

work elsewhere. After calling Sophia, he didn’t go back to sleep right away but instead proceeded to go through the

stack of files on his table. I need to take care of all these papers before I go out later.

A few moments later, Zack came in with a cup of coffee, just as John noticed the tired look on his face. He shot a

gaze at Zack and said, “If there is nothing else important in hand, go get some rest.”

Zack came closer and gave the coffee to John. “It’s alright, I’m good. I don’t want to struggle waking up from a nap

Here, get a boost with your coffee.” John took the coffee from Zack and took a sip. “How is everything with

Roselia?” Hearing the question, his assistant sighed and replied, “Not much. That woman is a quick thinker. What

could have happened to her? Other than her sorry look, she is perfectly fine. There is not even a scratch on her.”

As soon as he finished his words, he sadly added, “I used to think Husky was shrewd, but it seems that he barely

compares with Roselia.” “Take care of the people in the warehouse, would you?” John curled his lips and instructed.

Zack nodded in response. “Those people can give us the answers we want. So, I say we should focus on getting

what we need and move on.” John responded with an affirmative hum and added, “Sure, we can’t keep feeding

those people in the warehouse like that. We have way too much on our plate, and that’s the reason why we

shouldn’t interfere with this matter.” Sitting there for a while, Zack realized that his superior began to look a little

more serious to get back to work. It seems that he still has tons of papers to go through. I guess that’s my cue to

get going now. Upon letting out a sigh, he stood up and left. Meanwhile, the sun was already up by the time John

finished reading all the documents. Feeling a lot more energized after drinking two cups of coffee, he put away his

documents and continued to sit in his chair for a while before he got up and walked out of his office. Soon, Zack

happened to pass by as he ran into John in the corridor. At that moment, Zack knew what John was up to even

without hearing what his boss was going to say.
