The first floor’s lights were out, but not on the second floor. A while later, he saw Sophia pulling the blinds down. John sighed, then he lit a cigarette.
He was in a good mood on this day, for he managed to stop Ian’s confession in time. Even though he didn’t know why he felt good about that, he did know Sophia didn’t cross him even though she was rude.
These couple of days had been frustrating for him, but he didn’t know the reason. Everything vexed him, though that feeling was gone now. He then tossed his half-smoked cigarette away and took his phone out.
There was a new friend request for him, and it was from Sophia. He praised himself for this smart move, then he changed his profile picture and name. Since Sophia was having her guard up against him, if she noticed him adding her back, she’d block him again. But she isn’t really smart though. Having her guard up is all she has. John then patted the driver on the back.
The driver stirred and woke up. “You’re back, Sir.”
John grunted. “Let’s go.”
On the other hand, Sophia was looking at her bank balance. She was in a dilemma now that John transferred more money to her. If his mother finds out, she’s going to cause a ruckus again.
