The Returning Ex

Chapter 159

Meanwhile, Sophia unconsciously meandered while she talked on the phone. Ian saw the news reports on the Internet, thus he asked her whether she was affected, to which she said that it didn’t really affect her much. Besides, even if she was dragged into this, she’d certainly be pitied by the public and might even garner some fans.

Ian was relieved upon seeing her optimistic attitude, but still, he asked, “Why are you and your ex- husband keeping the divorce under wraps?” She has never explained this to me.

Subsequently, the doors of the elevator on the other side opened. As soon as Dylan stepped out, he spotted the lady who was in the corridor. Sophia was putting her cell phone away with a smile, the dimples on her cheeks playing peekaboo. In fact, she was leaning against the wall in the corridor, seemingly not at all affected by those rumors on the Internet.

Just after Dylan had taken a few steps toward her after exiting the elevator, Sophia turned around, a smile lingering on her face. “You’re back!”

Dylan nodded. “Yup. Why are you standing here? Where’s John?” All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Sophia jutted her chin at John’s office. “He’s eating. I stepped out to take a call.”

Standing still, Dylan looked at her. “I heard that you were surrounded by the media downstairs this morning. Are you okay?”

Sophia was momentarily taken aback before she laughed uproariously. “I’m fine, I’m fine. I’m good. The media is actually quite nice. They didn’t make things difficult for me.”

Dylan nodded. “I’m glad to hear that.” Then, he headed to his office.

Sophia, however, remained standing in the corridor as she looked at her cell phone. There are now new reports about me on the Internet! These reporters are truly well-informed when writing gossip, and

they’ve actually found my flight information to Tri Asel in just a few hours. Indeed, she was on the same flight as John and even stayed in the same hotel.

Moreover, a news article even mentioned her going out to buy contraceptives. T-T-This… This is scary! Sophia frowned. They can even find out such a thing? After a brief read-through, she quickly strode toward John’s office.

John was still looking at the computer, while Zack had already left. Barging in, Sophia exclaimed, “Hey, hey, have you seen the news? Everything I explained has now been published!”

John’s eyes were fixed on the computer, the screen filled with the news reports from the Internet. After scrutinizing everything and analyzing the media’s perspective and opinion, he then smirked. The media is really good at digging that they managed to dig out the details of everything that happened in Tri Asel. How impressive! He’d never liked how these people invaded someone else’s privacy, but this time, he somewhat looked forward to watching the show. I wonder what other tricks Infinity Group has up its sleeves now that so much evidence is popping up.

Meanwhile, Sophia promptly rushed over upon seeing that he was ignoring her. Sprawling on his desk, she turned her head and looked at his computer. “Oh, you saw it!”

As she was sprawled out, her collar drooped, revealing an enticing sight of creamy abundance. John averted his gaze and pinned his eyes on the computer. “Yeah, I saw it.”

Sophia grinned. “Look how effective I am! I’ve noticed that the tide has now turned.” This slight gesture of seeking credit made her appear a tad childish, so John threw her a look out of the corner of his eye. To ensure that he didn’t look someplace inappropriate, he promptly retracted his gaze after a brief glance.

However, Sophia didn’t notice anything amiss. She remained sprawled with her head turned to stare at the computer screen which so happened to show a picture of her smiling while surrounded by the media. Her dressing made her appear much younger, rendering her enchanting and alluring, while her smile was pleasant. Gratified at this picture of hers, she smacked her lips. “Look, I’m so photogenic! I can even be a celebrity!”

Such a shameless remark had John feeling rather perturbed, and he got to his feet right away. “I’m going out for a while. If you don’t have anything to do, just wait here for me to get off work. Then, we’ll go and get glammed up together.”

Oh yes, there’s a banquet tonight, and it just had to be now, coinciding with John’s scandal. He’ll definitely have the limelight on him during the banquet tonight. Sophia deliberated things for a moment. I indeed don’t have anything to do this afternoon. Thus, she nodded. “Sure. I’ll wait for you here, then.”

John then left, while she stayed in his office. After waiting for a while, boredom set in, upon which she got up and went to his private room. The bedsheet has been changed. She snorted. That mysophobic, John Constance, must have changed it because he found it repulsive that I once slept here. Well, I just want to repulse him! Slipping off her shoes, she flopped onto the bed and even rolled around.
