Zack was considerably quick to catch on. As soon as he saw the expression Sophia was making, he
immediately understood what was going through her mind.
Thus, he glanced at John and said in a serious tone, “What’s wrong, Boss? Is there something going
on with work? We are on vacation, yet you’re still working. You sure have it hard.”
John turned his head to look at Zack. After that, he put away his phone. However, he didn’t answer the
question. Therefore, Sophia couldn’t help feeling that the person who sent the message was a woman.
Still, the fact that John was messaging somebody was a surprise to her. He generally advocated
efficiency. So, he considered sending messages to be a time-consuming and laborious method of
communication.
However, she later realized that perhaps some people had different habits when facing different
people. When faced with certain people, he might consider messaging to be a waste of time.
On the other hand, he might not consider it to be a waste of time when dealing with other people.
Leaning against her chair, she smiled to herself.
As for Zack, he licked his back teeth and said nothing more. They waited for a long time for their food
to come but none of them said a word. The current atmosphere was similar to when they were in the
car. Drinking some water, John lifted his gaze to look at Sophia. Then, he seemed to recall something
and said, “Take your medicine.”
Some of Sophia’s medicine were to be taken before meals. Thus, she was momentarily taken aback
before making a non-committal sound in reply.
She rarely remembered stuff like these. Slowly opening up her bag, she took out several types of
medicine, then several pills of each type. Zack drew in a quick breath. “You have to take these many
just before meals?”
She nodded. “Yup, I’ll be full by the time I’m done with these.”
However, John simply studied her medicine quietly. On the other hand, she swallowed her pills easily.
She placed them all in her mouth and swallowed them in one go with some water.
After finishing her medicine, she took a deep breath and glanced over at the kitchen. Surprisingly, John
spoke up right then. “How long have you been having gastric problems?”
Sophia was stunned and glanced over at him. “At least ten years now.” When she first suffered from
gastric problems, she wasn’t even an adult yet.
The man nodded but didn’t say anything else. After all, he knew all about Sophia’s family background.
When his grandpa first asked him to marry Sophia, his grandpa had made everything clear. To be
honest, even if his grandpa had not said anything, the Constance Family would have investigated
Sophia’s entire background.
Finally, the owner served up the sashimi. Then, Sophia swallowed her drool. Seeing this, John
frowned. Still, he could tell that she was salivating over the food. Thus, he simply said, “Don’t eat too
much.”
Sophia swept her gaze over him and did not respond. However, Zack smiled and said, “Boss is just
worried about you. He’s afraid…” When John calmly turned his gaze on Zack, the latter immediately fell Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
silent, leaving his sentence trailing.
Once they started eating, there was no need to bother about whether or not the atmosphere was
awkward. Thus, Sophia focused on eating. On the contrary, Zack would occasionally discuss some
company affairs with John. He mainly asked about how the matter involving the Infinity Group would be
handled. He had already bought their return tickets for the day after tomorrow.
Hence, he couldn’t just leave without knowing anything. No matter how he thought about it, he found it
very hard to stomach the underhanded methods the Infinity Group had used this time around.
However, John replied without looking at Zack, “You’ll know when the time comes.” In terms of giving
an answer, the words he uttered were no better than if he had remained silent. As such, Zack became
slightly upset and used a little more force than necessary when wielding his chopsticks.
Suddenly, Sophia remembered something. “By the way, I saw the woman who drugged you last night.
She came to meet you.”
Upon hearing that, both John and Zack were taken aback. Thus, Zack turned to look at John. “She
came to visit you again?”
John frowned in response. “Nope.”
Then, Sophia said, “I chased her away. Since I happened to notice her last night, I gave her a piece of
my mind. She was so badly chastised that her face was flushed and pale at the same time.” Taking the
time to glance at John, she continued, “It seems like she was sent over by President McCaw. I wonder
what he meant by doing that.”
