Sophia didn’t want to listen to what happened last night, so she quickly stopped him. “What happened isn’t

reflective of my true feelings. The atmosphere was pretty good at that time, so I just went along with it. There’s no

further meaning to it. After eating, you should just go do what you have to do. Don’t you have some company

matters to handle? Go ahead and deal with it. I don’t need you to take care of my shop.”

 

It was clear that Sophia was subtly rejecting him again. John wanted to say something, but after thinking about it,

he decided not to. Considering how Sophia had finally relented last night, he couldn’t be too pushy about things

either. Thus, he nodded. “Alright.”

After the meal, they left the restaurant together. Sophia strolled back home first, while John did not follow her but

attempted to hail a cab by the roadside.

Seeing this, Isabelle drove past him at once. She parked the car next to John and lowered the window. “John, what a

coincidence.”

John was stunned to see her, but he just nodded. “Yeah, fancy meeting you here.”

Isabelle pretended to know nothing. “What’s up? Are you hailing a cab? I can give you a ride.”

However, John didn’t get into the car right away. Instead, he merely looked at her. “Are you going to meet a client?”

“No.” Isabelle laughed and explained, “My brother has a class, so I sent him there.”

 

John nodded. Looking around him, he realized that there weren’t many cabs on the road at this hour. So, he got

into the backseat of the car. “I’ll sit at the back. It wouldn’t be good if we’re photographed sitting together in front.”

Isabelle looked like she had only just thought of this and commented, “You’re the thoughtful one.”

Then, she started driving away. As the car traveled along the road, she asked, “Are you going to the company or the

Constance Residence?”

 

John turned around and looked out the window. “Go to Sophia’s shop. She’s not going over today, so I’ll check out

the situation and maybe help out.”

Isabelle pursed her lips when she heard this. After a brief pause, she said, “Oh. Is Miss Gwendolyn not feeling well?

Why is she not going to her shop?”

Hearing her words, John struggled to come up with a proper reply. He didn’t want to go into much detail with

Isabelle, since what happened last night was a private matter between him and Sophia. Isabelle wasn’t close

enough for him to sneakily divulge his intimate affairs either.

As Isabelle’s status and identity were rather controversial, plus she was also his collaborative partner at work, John

naturally had to be a bit more serious toward her. So, he replied, “No, she’s just a little tired today and has decided

not to go to work. Therefore, I’ll go and take a look.”

 

 

Pressing her lips into a thin line, Isabelle did not answer. She stopped the car at a traffic light, then said after a brief

thought, “I think you and Miss Gwendolyn are getting along well. Mrs. Constance told me that the relationship

between the two of you isn’t this good. It seems that she has misunderstood things.”

When Matilda was brought up, John frowned. “My mom misunderstands a lot of things. You don’t need to bother

about what she says.”

His words were a veiled reference to the previous incident in the hospital when Matilda had kicked up a huge fuss.

Since John had stopped talking about Sophia, Isabelle stopped asking as well. She drove to Sophia’s shop, and John

got off when they arrived. Isabelle too got off and followed after him.

Only Robin and Zack were in the shop. Zack was only responsible for receiving payments, while Robin served the

customers and packed up their orders.

 

 

John went in and remarked, “Looks like you’re quite used to this job.”

He was speaking to Zack.

 

Surprised, Zack lifted his head and looked over, and then gave a helpless smile. “I’ve trained the entire morning. At

first, I was really thrown off balance by the amount of work needed to be done.”

Robin glanced at Isabelle standing behind John and commented in a somewhat surprised tone, “This must be Miss

Bailey.”

Isabelle came over and stood beside John. “Yeah, I was just passing by and decided to take a look in here.”
