The Returning Ex

Chapter 175

“The employee from Infinity Group agreed to an interview.” A smile tugged at the corner of Ian’s lips as he spoke. Miss Cox who worked under Infinity Group contacted the media last night, thus the media arranged for an interview with her early in the morning.

It was said that a lot of journalists from within the city gathered over the night to attend the press conference. They sure worked their *ss off for news content.

Sophia quickly fumbled for her phone, in which news about John could be found with ease on the tabloids. The interview with Miss Cox was on the top of the search list, with a photo of her included. She wasn’t wearing any makeup, which showed just how haggard she was, but Sophia wondered if she was trying to earn the sympathy of the public.

The interview was short, as Miss Cox was reportedly too ill to carry on with it halfway through it. Sophia checked on what Miss Cox revealed, which told of how she had had a good chat with John when she received him. Meanwhile, Miss Cox also confirmed that she hadn’t seen Sophia, as John did not bring her along, which was the truth because Sophia did not join the reception.

It was revealed in the interview that Miss Cox had always admired John, and she also put him on a pedestal due to his family business. The interview took a turn to touch on the incident that went a little out of hand during the banquet after everybody was a little drunk.

Aside from that, she also announced that she wasn’t trying to persecute John, as her plans were to apologize to Sophia through the media for hurting her, which stirred a deep sense of regret.

In order to make up for it, she had already resigned from her position, as well as leaving the industry altogether. While she didn’t expect forgiveness from Sophia, she extended a heartfelt apology to Sophia nonetheless.

Upon reading through the article, Sophia’s mouth hung agape as she realized how good Miss Cox was at putting up a facade. She was literally spouting nonsense in the face of the public, which made Sophia seem almost like an imbecile in comparison.

There were no responses whatsoever on John’s part, or rather, he seemed totally unfazed by the whole incident. His inaction somehow helped to calm Sophia down as she realized she wouldn’t in fact be affected by the ruckus, and she would be safe no matter what happened.

“It seems like there’s still a long way to go before the incident would conclude itself.” Sophia heaved a sigh after putting her phone away. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

“So did John… You know… That employee…” The question was to the point, as Ian wasn’t privy to the key components of the incident.

“No, he didn’t. I attended the banquet with him, during which he was by my side the whole time.” A smile bloomed on Sophia’s face as she looked toward Ian. It would require a long explanation to clarify everything, but Sophia wasn’t about to reveal her own thoughts from back then, thus smacked her lips before concluding, “Please don’t go around announcing our divorce, as there were some complications between me and John that we have yet to settle.”

There was a smile on Ian’s face. “Worry not, as I am great at keeping secrets.”

Sophia giggled. “Are you planning to show me around the company today?”

Ian heaved a long sigh. “I need to settle my admission procedures, but I didn’t want to come alone, so I called on you because I don’t have friends.”

“That won’t be a problem for me, so come on.” There was a sense of pride in Sophia’s tone as she got out of the car. Ian followed suit to stand behind her while staring at her petite figure with a frown on his

face. What transpired was unbeknownst to her, thus walked into the Morgan Group’s office building alongside him.

Nobody at the reception seemed to recognize Ian, but one of the receptionists did know Sophia, which happened to be a shock for the former when she saw Sophia, all the while addressing her, “Mrs. Constance.”

The title sent a shiver down Sophia’s spine as she totally forgot that the media had just intercepted her last night at the entrance of the Constance Company’s office building for a long interview. It ended up being a news article with a photo of hers to go with it, so she had in fact garnered a bit of fame, which was to John’s credit.

“Erm, he…” While pointing at Ian, her mouth hung agape as she was suddenly at a loss for words. She wondered what the heck did Ian do to reach such a point that the employees in his own family’s company would fail to recognize him.
