The Returning EX (John and Sophia)

Chapter 56

After Sophia left the room, she went to the bar.

Not many people were at the bar at this time, and that singer wasn’t there either.

Smacking her lips, she couldn’t help finding her actions meaningless. Therefore, she turned around

and headed outside the hotel; she thought of taking a walk by the beach.

The doors of the hotel were wide open and many people were standing there talking.

At first, Sophia was about to go out. She took two steps before stopping and turning back to look.

There was a large plant by the side of the hotel entrance and beside the plant stood a woman.

That woman was wearing a short skirt, and her legs were very fair. She was also wearing a spaghetti-

strap top, and her breasts were practically out on display.

That woman was on the phone and failed to notice Sophia. Then, Sophia smiled. Wondering for a

moment, she decided to walk over. “Hi.”

The woman was surprised and glanced up at Sophia. However, she couldn’t recognize Sophia

immediately. Frowning, she said, “Who—”

Before she continued her sentence, her expression changed.

Sophia smiled. It looks like she recognizes me.

The woman quickly told the other party on the other side of the phone, “Something just came up; I’ll talk

to you later.” After that, she ended the call.

Sophia put on a harmless expression. “We’ve met.”

The woman made a sound of agreement. “We’ve met; on the beach last time.”

Sophia raised her brows. “Why are you here alone? John isn’t coming out, so you won’t be able to

meet him even if you waited here.”

The woman stood motionless as she stared at Sophia. Perhaps she wasn’t very good at pretending,

and that was why the wariness on her face was clear as day. Or perhaps, she knew Sophia’s identity.

Thus, there were some things she truly did not know how to place into words.

When Sophia saw that the woman wasn’t answering, she laughed out loud. “What’s wrong? Did

President McCaw not allow you to leave until you met your target? That’s so inhumane of him!”

The woman’s expression changed. “W-What are you saying? I don’t understand; I’m just waiting here

for a friend.”

Sophia snorted and said in a light voice, “That’s enough. Stop pretending. I feel tired just by looking at

you. I’ve seen my fair share of women like you. Despite knowing that the other party is a married man,

you still try to seduce him.

There were many before you, and I’m sure there’ll be even more after you. Let me put it this way; your

looks are below average among these women. It’s only to be expected that John wouldn’t be attracted

to you at all.”

Then, the woman blushed furiously. People were standing nearby, and Sophia’s volume wasn’t

suppressed. Therefore, everybody around them could hear what she said clearly.

Sophia couldn’t care less as she continued, “Tell me; the two companies had agreed to a cooperation.

Wouldn’t it have been great if everybody had placed their focus on their work? However, your company

had to send an employee like you to offer up your nightly services.

Just what is wrong with your boss? Well, your brain isn’t working all that great either. How could you

agree to offer up your body just because your boss asked you to?! Why don’t you ask your parents

about what you did? If your parents knew you tried to seduce a married man and was rejected during

your attempt… You would be such an embarrassment to them!”

She laughed, but her expression was furious. “I must say, miss, you don’t need to continue waiting here

any longer. Even if you wait here, nothing will come to fruition. Last time, you practically stripped right in

front of his door. Even so, he didn’t even open the door for you.

Well, let me warn you; you better go back and become an honest person. Don’t keep thinking about

taking these crooked measures—it won’t last for long. Oh, that’s right…” She continued, “Go back and

tell this to your boss: stop wasting your time.

The cooperation between the two companies will not be completed. John isn’t as merciful or easy-

going as you seem to think. Whenever I make him mad, I can’t even get out of bed for three days. If it’s Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
