When the cars stopped beside John, two men, who appeared to be bodyguards, got out of the vehicles. One of them said in a respectful manner, “Mr. Constance, our master would like to meet you. Will you come with us?”
Without moving, John questioned with a smile, “What if I refuse?”
The bodyguards traded glances, and one of them said, “Mr. Constance, please don’t make it hard for us. We’re just executing the order.”
With a sneer, John fished out his phone and dialed a number—he was calling Old Mr. Bailey.
When the call was connected, Old Mr. Bailey asked smilingly, “John, are you done with your business?”
In a mild tone, John replied, “Mr. Bailey, if you have anything to tell me, just speak to me over the phone. There’s no need to send two men over. If the passersby see this, they might think I’m troubled by some thugs, which isn’t good for my reputation.”
Old Mr. Bailey guffawed. “You’re exaggerating. I just want to invite you over for a cup of tea. You must have misunderstood my subordinates because they’re not good at expressing themselves. I assure you that they’re not thugs. We live in a society governed by law, and we’re all law-abiding citizens. Do you agree with me?”
“Oh…” John replied in a perfunctory and languid manner. He then continued, “I’m sorry that I’m not going to your place for a cup of tea because I’ve been suffering from insomnia recently, and my doctor has advised against drinking anything that contains caffeine.”
Hearing his resolute rejection, Old Mr. Bailey fell silent.
In a confident manner, John put on a smile and went on to say, “If there’s nothing important you need to tell me, I’m hanging up the call now. I’m sure you’re aware that I’m burdened with some projects currently, which are all taxing tasks.”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Returning EX (John and Sophia)
So what happens to Ian and Cindy. Is she/ or does she get pregnant? Do they go back to the city and Ian works with Logan? Does Aurora stay in the entertainment industry or return with Ian? Terrible ending, who cares if Aurora was drinking/drunk with colleagues. What happened with Ian and Cindy?!...
Get rid of Gary. Apparently Cindy is too dumb to figure out his motives 😡...
Why are you trying to break them up when they just got together and are a loving couple. Let them stay close and move back to their true friends, Logan, Lola, John and Sophia!...
Sure hope Ian pulls his head out of his behind and works this out with Cindy. His brother needs him at the company and neither one of them truly like the celebrity life. Sophia and Lola will love her …....
I can’t wait for John to take down the Bailey’s including Isabelle so he, Sophia, William and Matilda can live in peace. Introduce Yolanda to Richard so they are out of the picture....
Ugh, don’t break up Sophia and John… they belong together and Sophia is just stubborn for no reason...
Sophia lives John, he just needs to tell her he loves her and get on with their life and family. Too much interference from others....
Sophia is so stupid....
John needs to man up, tell his mother and Isabelle to take a flying leap and confess to Sophia that he made a horrible mistake in divorcing her. This story is taking too long and once again, the bitches are looking like they are on the right side. Awful...
