Sophia sincerely envied Logan’s happy-go-lucky attitude. On the other side, John was at the golf course. He drank quite a lot yesterday so he wasn’t feeling his usual self today. Isabelle noticed that too and she handed John a towel. “What’s wrong? You didn’t sleep well last night?”
John wiped his face and said, “Not really.” He had checked the sample that Isabelle bought and knew that it wasn’t difficult to supply the products from his side.
Both of them sat on the chair. Looking at the wide lawn, Isabelle laughed. “This is my first time here. I didn’t even know how to act. I’m afraid that I will make a mistake and embarrass myself.”
After a while, John raised his head and looked into the distance. “Everyone starts from zero. It’s not a big deal.” No one was born with knowledge of everything. They only got the opportunity to learn because they had the conditions to do so. Suddenly, he knitted his eyebrows and thought of Sophia for no reason. She hadn’t seen many things so she was always making mistakes and was frequently scolded by Mrs. Constance in the past. But to be honest, it wasn’t her fault because she just didn’t have the privilege.
Old Mr. Constance once told him about the Gwendolyn Family. She and her grandfather must have been struggling to live so they shouldn’t make excessive demands on her. However, he seemed to have only realized that now. After waiting for a while, Isabelle stood up. “Let’s go. I want to try again.”
John agreed and stood up as well. While both of them walked toward the venue, Isabelle suddenly turned back to look at John. “Does Miss Gwendolyn know that you and I are here together?”
After a pause, John replied bluntly, “I don’t think so. Anyway, it’s not necessary to inform her about this kind of business event.”
At once, Isabelle’s face froze. She then quickly turned back. A few seconds later, she laughed lightly. In a low and gentle voice, she said, “You’re right.”
