Upon hearing that, John chuckled. “I don’t think we have any personal matters to speak of, Miss Bailey.” His remark was courteous, his tone pleasant, but the content was actually very callous.
On the other end, Isabelle was suddenly at a loss for words.
Putting down the document in his hand, John reclined against his chair. In a placid voice, he remarked, “I don’t think there are any personal entanglements between us save work, Miss Bailey.”
Isabelle slowly exhaled. “Have you listened to the voice message I sent yesterday, John?”
After a few seconds, John admitted it. “Yeah, I listened to it.”
He has listened to it, yet he said such a thing. Thus, Isabelle understood his stance on the matter. She then gave a bark of laughter. “You must think me comical, no, John?”
John denied it, saying, “Not at all.”
Her voice tinged with a hint of exasperation, Isabelle commented, “Sorry about that. It wasn’t deliberate on my part. I imbibed yesterday, so I kind of lost control of myself. If possible, I truly wish that you’d never find out about it.” Her voice lowered to a whisper, she implored, “Just pretend that you know nothing about it. I hope it won’t affect the collaboration between us.”
After saying that it wouldn’t, John went silent. It seemed that he truly didn’t have anything to say to her.
In the end, Isabelle laughed. “Alright, then. I won’t keep you from your work any longer. I’ll leave you to it.” After saying that, she hung up the phone.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Returning EX (John and Sophia)
So what happens to Ian and Cindy. Is she/ or does she get pregnant? Do they go back to the city and Ian works with Logan? Does Aurora stay in the entertainment industry or return with Ian? Terrible ending, who cares if Aurora was drinking/drunk with colleagues. What happened with Ian and Cindy?!...
Get rid of Gary. Apparently Cindy is too dumb to figure out his motives 😡...
Why are you trying to break them up when they just got together and are a loving couple. Let them stay close and move back to their true friends, Logan, Lola, John and Sophia!...
Sure hope Ian pulls his head out of his behind and works this out with Cindy. His brother needs him at the company and neither one of them truly like the celebrity life. Sophia and Lola will love her …....
I can’t wait for John to take down the Bailey’s including Isabelle so he, Sophia, William and Matilda can live in peace. Introduce Yolanda to Richard so they are out of the picture....
Ugh, don’t break up Sophia and John… they belong together and Sophia is just stubborn for no reason...
Sophia lives John, he just needs to tell her he loves her and get on with their life and family. Too much interference from others....
Sophia is so stupid....
John needs to man up, tell his mother and Isabelle to take a flying leap and confess to Sophia that he made a horrible mistake in divorcing her. This story is taking too long and once again, the bitches are looking like they are on the right side. Awful...
