After sitting alone by the table for a while, rustling noises could be heard at the entrance of the tea room. Sophia thought that John and the rest were back, so she looked toward there, only to see a person peeking in through the entrance with a microphone in hand.
He seemed to be trying to check on the occupants in the room, and he ended up being startled by the sight of Sophia alone in the large tea room. After a pause, the man came in with two other men in tow. One of them had a video recorder in hand, while the other was the conductor. They were obviously journalists sent by the press.
As she was alone in the tea room, they were definitely after her, so Sophia adjusted her posture. The man with a mic had a cheerful disposition about him while he approached her. “Greetings, Miss Gwendolyn. This is such a coincidence.”
“Is that so?” asked Sophia while checking him out.
The man saw four cups on the table, so he asked, “Are you waiting for your friends?”
Sophia grunted. “Yes. I am waiting for them.”
The journalist seemed polite enough, as he didn’t sit down right away. Instead, he bowed down while standing beside her with the mic close to her. “Miss Gwendolyn, I saw you were with Mr. John Constance and Miss Isabelle Bailey not so long ago. May I know…”
Upon hearing his question, Sophia lifted her head to look his way. “What would you like to know?”
The journalist put on a smile before asking, “Pardon me. As I saw you together with Mr. John Constance a while ago, so I’d very much like to know if you two are…”
