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?”
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.
