The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 177

“They seemed to be rather impudent.” A sigh escaped Sophia. She had a feeling that the Constances also disliked John, but they were smart enough to keep their thoughts to themselves instead of showing them.

On the flip side, things seemed worse with the Morgans, as they wouldn’t even pretend to get along with Ian. It was proof that they were less tolerant toward people, and it would affect their business in the long run.

Meanwhile, silence befell as Ian wore a smile on his face. It wasn’t long before the procedure was dealt with, which meant he would begin working by the next day. Ian stood as he planned to meet Mr. Zimmel, while Sophia was unsure if she should go with him, thus asked, “Should I wait here?”

“Sure, I’ll be right back.” Ian gave her a nod. The staff from HR came in and handed her a glass of water after he left, while Sean followed behind the staff.

“President Morgan, he’s out, if you’re here for Ian.” It wasn’t hard for Sophia to surmise his intentions as she held the glass between her palms.

Sean cut to the chase and didn’t seem to mind laying his cards out. “No, I’m here for you.”

It was by then that Sophia realized the benefits of being John’s wife, as she was treated with courtesy even in enemy territory, while she wouldn’t even be able to step through the doors of the company on her own.

“How’d you come to meet Ian, Mrs. Constance?” While seated across from Sophia, Sean asked his first question.

“What’s your plan, President Morgan? Are you trying to filter through the company your brother keeps?” The ambiguous answer was due to Sophia’s doubt in whether she should be honest.

A smile bloomed on Sean’s face. “That’s not the case, so please don’t overthink this, Mrs. Constance. I am merely curious.”

“I would say we are fated to meet each other. John and I met Ian when we were on a business trip, and we kept in touch after that since we find each other to be pleasant company.”
