John waited for a while before taking Sophia’s hand, pinching the ring on her finger and moving it a little. The ring was an eyesore no matter how he looked at it.
He carelessly grunted an agreement, and with that, he had finally taken Sophia’s side. Upon hearing that, she flashed a smile that was brighter than before.
John scanned her face. He was very aware of all the emotions hidden behind her smiling expression.
This young lady had stopped putting up with everyone, not caring who she was talking to.
Elder Mr. Bailey grabbed his teacup and took a sip in silence. William was good at reading the atmosphere, which was starting to get awkward. To smooth things out, he engaged Old Mr. Bailey in a discussion about the current market and economic trends.
In recent times, more small enterprises had risen, which led to market saturation. It remained to be seen whether these companies would survive and outlast each other.
Old Mr. Bailey nodded in agreement. “Yes. That’s why our companies have to work together for a win-win situation.”
William nodded at him. “Yes. I hope that our cooperation goes smoothly.”
Isabelle had been silent for the entire time with a teacup in her hands. Instead of staring at John and Sophia, she fixed her eyes on the teapot above the table.
Sophia silently smirked. That is it! Isabelle has finally understood the situation.
Isabelle should fall in line in situations where Sophia was present.
When the waiter served the dishes, the men started to pour drinks for each other.
Since Sophia was not hungry, John had only ordered a glass of fruit juice for her. She ate nothing, but she did not share her juice, downing the liquid all at once. After drinking the huge glass of fruit juice, her stomach started to react and rumble.
