The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 60

 

 

 

Zack hurriedly took several more pictures of them. He knew that it was very rare for both John and Sophia to play along so amicably. Therefore, he nervously took several shots as quickly as he could.

 

After that, the three of them moved over to the rocks by the side.

They had already taken photos with the ‘End of the Earth’ and the ‘Cape’—the two famous rocks at the Edge of the World. Although there were other relatively famous scenic rocks nearby, Zack didn’t dare to make any more requests.

Zack knew John’s temper all too well—John was barely tolerating him. In fact, John had probably been holding in his temper ever since he came out on this trip and saw that he was seated next to Sophia on the plane. Therefore, Zack was terribly afraid of saying the wrong thing and provoking his boss’ temper.

After strolling on the beach for a while, Sophia mentioned that she was hungry. To be honest, she wasn’t even sure whether she was actually hungry.

Due to her gastric problems, she tended to get sudden hunger pangs. According to the doctor, it was normal. Once she finished her medicine and cured her gastric problems, that feeling would go away on its own.

Zack had brought along some snacks with him when they left in the morning. However, Sophia had barely eaten while they were in the car. So, it was natural that she was hungry now.

Besides, John clearly didn’t want to continue wasting time here. Thus, he said, “Let’s go out to find someplace to eat.”

 

Zack grinned. “We’ve only been here for less than an hour. How can the two of you not consider how precious money is?”

In response, Sophia sneered, “I have a lot of money. Back then, your boss was very generous to me. So, this small amount of pocket change won’t faze me.”

On the other hand, John headed directly to the exit without saying anything.

 

Then, Zack hissed, “Fine; you guys are the bosses anyway. Whatever you say.”

Therefore, the three of them went inside and came back out again, all within an hour.

Outside the tourist area, many seafood restaurants were located nearby—one could find seafood almost anywhere in this area.

Sophia glanced about her, then stopped at the entrance of a shop that looked more like a food stall. “This place has the most delicious scent.”

The owner of the place was pretty good at attracting customers. When he saw Sophia coming over, he quickly welcomed them. “What a beautiful young lady. Come, come; come inside and place your orders.”

Sophia smiled. “Boss, you have such a silver tongue. Your business must be booming!”

However, the owner replied seriously, “The main reason is that you are gorgeous. That’s why I praised you. If you weren’t, I wouldn’t have been able to do it with a clean conscience. It’s important for people like us, who do business, to act with a conscience. So, I praised you because you’re worth praising.”

The owner of this restaurant sure is eloquent. Thus, she nodded. “Alright. I’ll eat here just because of that attitude of yours.”

After that, she went over to the seafood area and began picking out what she wanted. Some were made into sashimi, some were steamed, and some were grilled.

 

 

Sophia ordered many items, acting like a nouveau riche.

Zack went over to order too. However, he immediately returned to his seat after seeing how many things she ordered.

 

John was sitting with his head lowered, staring at his phone. Just then, he received a message.

Meanwhile, Zack leaned over. He didn’t try to see the contents on John’s phone. Instead, he whispered to John, “I guess you did give her a lot of money back then.”

That woman is practically ordering every single living thing at the seafood area of this restaurant.

Then, John turned to look at Sophia. “There’s nothing wrong with a woman treating herself to something nice.”
