President McCaw did not order any food, and John could not be bothered by that.
After all the dishes were served, the three of them began to dig in.
At this moment, President McCaw stood up rather awkwardly. “President Constance, enjoy your meal.
It’s getting pretty late. Would it be alright if I come to see you again tomorrow?”
John finally responded, “Sure.”
President McCaw was slightly delighted. It was as if he had just got John’s promise.
He then nodded at Sophia and Zack before leaving.
After he left, Sophia immediately straightened her body and distanced herself from John.
Tsk-tsk. Zack disapproved. “I don’t know what this guy’s reaction is going to be when he finds out that
we’re gone when he comes again tomorrow.”
John grinned silently.
Now that President McCaw was gone, Sophia and John had stopped talking.
Zack felt somewhat annoyed by that as he could not possibly initiate any conversations by himself.
In the end, he just had to push himself to quickly finish his meal.
Since it was still bright outside, after the meal, Zack thought about visiting a beach nearby since they
were leaving tomorrow, but both Sophia and John gave no response to this idea.
Zack then stared at the both of them. “I take the silence as a yes from the both of you.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLater, Zack stood up. “I’m going to pay. Why don’t the both of you wait for me at the entrance?”
Sophia stood up first and began walking toward the entrance of the restaurant.
After a few seconds, John followed suit.
Zack was taking longer than usual, and Sophia crossed her arms as she looked impatient. Then, she
headed out of the hotel.
Not saying anything, John followed her.
It was rather chilly tonight, and Sophia continued walking toward the beach without bothering to look at
John who was behind her.
After paying for the meal, Zack saw the two from behind. He paused for a second and started walking
toward the elevator, humming a tune while heading back to his room.
When Sophia finally stopped walking after arriving at the beach, John went up to her and stood next to
her, saying, “After we get back, come and stay at the Constance Residence for a couple of days to
ascertain what’s going on out there. When it’s safe to leave, you can go back to your own place.”
John’s sole purpose was to prevent anything bad that might happen if President McCaw was going to
make a big scene out of their decision to stop working with the Infinity Group.
As such, he reckoned that he should still stay by her side.
Sophia was somewhat understanding as she agreed. “Got it.”
John stared out into the dark sea surface. “Don’t worry. We’ll sleep in separate rooms when we get
back.”
This topic made things awkward between them as they had three sessions of lovemaking just within
the past couple of days and each time was equally intense.
The thought of this embarrassed them.
Sophia had nothing to say in response as nothing felt right.
With his hands in his pockets, John waited for a few more seconds before adding, “Anyway, I’d like to
thank you for what you did this time.”
As to what he thanked her for, John had no idea, and he couldn’t care less.
At this point, Sophia exhaled. “John.”
John grunted, waiting for her next sentence.
Sophia giggled after a few seconds. “Nothing. I was just feeling slightly emotional as I never thought we
would end up where we are right now.”
John snickered. “Same here. I’m equally surprised.”
Both of them were pretty much thinking about the same thing: after they signed the divorce papers,
none of them thought that they would ever have anything to do with each other again.
However, they were now even more involved with each other than before the divorce.
A few moments later, John turned around and looked Sophia in the eyes. “After we get back, you can
take your time to think about what you’d like from me for helping me.”
Sophia smiled and did not respond.
In all honesty, when they divorced each other, John was really generous. As such, she no longer
thought about what she wanted.
When she first decided to help him out, it was mainly to save him from that predicament.
She was too soft-hearted and did not want to see him stuck in difficult situations.
