Upon hearing Sophia’s remark, Isabelle was stunned. At this, Sophia grinned and tapped the back of her cell phone case with a finger to remind Isabelle that she was filming her. Isabelle promptly retracted her gaze and dipped her head to stare at the document in her hand.
Being of good breeding, she just felt that her blatantly contemptuous expression earlier would ruin her image if someone else saw it. Snorting once more, Sophia placed her cell phone down.
“I’ve got important business here, so stop messing around. If you’re bored, you can go out and stroll around, perhaps chat with Zack or something,” John said, his voice mild.
Leaning back in the chair, Sophia stretched. Then, something occurred to her, and she replied, “That’s a good idea. I can’t be of any help to you two here, so I’ll just go out and have a look around.” She leisurely headed toward the door, murmuring as she walked, “Earlier, I saw that Dylan was back, and we chatted for a bit.
He said he’s free in the afternoon, so I’ll just go over and visit with him.” John stilled, yet his gaze never left the document in his hand. With her back to them, Sophia smirked and left the office.
Meanwhile, Dylan was in his office. When Sophia went over, she quietly pushed open the door a crack and poked her head in without knocking. Dylan heard the noise and looked over. Upon seeing him, Sophia grinned and asked softly, “Are you busy?”
Dylan merely deliberated for a moment before saying, “No.” Only then did Sophia enter his office, and Dylan straightened the documents on his desk. “What’s the matter? Is John busy?”
Sophia murmured an assent. With her hands behind her back, she leisurely sauntered around Dylan’s office before finally going over to the window and gazing out. “Miss Bailey is here to discuss the collaboration. It was boring to me, so I came out.” After saying that, she even chortled. “I think your place here is much better here. John’s office is just too boring.”
Dylan cracked up. “It’s boring here, too. All offices are similar.”
Sophia turned and looked at him. “By the way, I’m opening a dessert shop next month. Come and patronize my shop then. It’ll be my treat.”

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...
