However, John was not waiting at the front gate as he had claimed. When Sophia arrived at home, she found him seated in her living room, watching TV while waiting for her. Her eyes bulged in disbelief at the scene. “How did you manage to get in?”
He pointed up at the second floor. “I’ve told you before to shut the balcony doors. But look, you never listen.”
At first, Sophia had decided to thank John when she met him. However, the idea went down the drain in the face of his trespassing. There was no point for her to thank him anymore. With a sour face, she sat across him. “You were the one who sent me home last night? You didn’t do anything to me, did you?”
John chuckled. “Why? Are you disappointed? If you have any wish, just let me know. I can cooperate and help you with it right now.”
She frowned. “Can you be any more shameless than that?” Next, she checked with him by asking, “Did you see Ian last night?”
John was taken aback. “Ian? Why would you ask?”
Sophia briefly entertained a fleeting thought in her mind before saying, “Ian’s phone was shattered and left in front of my front door last night. Did you do that? You hit him?”
Moments later, he denied it. “Am I that type of man in your eyes?”
Yeah, you are. Sophia recalled that John had punched Ian in the face before on the second floor and the bruises took a few days to heal. John huffed, “No, I didn’t hit him. Don’t worry. I actually get along fine with him.”
What nonsense! Sophia would never believe in that. Then, she stared at John with pursed lips and finally muttered, “Your attitude is quite okay today. Weren’t you quite audacious last time?”
He could not help but snap back with a hint of mockery. “Was I as audacious as you?”
