She coughed. “We figured that it would be merrier if everyone were to eat dinner together.”
William replied, “Oh, sure. I’ll head over after work.”
Matilda immediately hung up after that. Then, she started regretting what she did. What an embarrassment. Why did I blush? Why was I being so awkward and shy when I’m already at this age?
William chuckled lightly after he hung up. Even across the phone call, he could still sense Matilda’s awkwardness. In fact, he could even imagine her facial expression right then. That thought amused him greatly.
After placing his phone down, he continued reviewing his documents before getting his assistant to come over and instructed them on things to do so that he could leave.
By the time he finished arranging everything, it was already almost time for him to clock out.
After packing up his stuff, William went to John’s office and wanted to ask him if he wanted to leave together.
However, John had already left.
William didn’t think much about it as he figured that John was probably heading toward Logan’s place already, so he took the elevator and went downstairs.
After getting out of the elevator to the hall, William halted when he saw Yolanda sitting on the couch in the hall. It was obvious that she was waiting for him.
However, Yolanda didn’t notice William as she was busy looking at her phone, so William walked over to her. “Why did you come over?”
Yolanda’s head snapped up immediately before she smiled. “I was just passing by your company and I came over to wait for you since I figured that it was almost time for you to clock out. Let’s have dinner together.”
Without hesitation, William rejected her. “I can’t today since I’ve already promised Matilda to have dinner together.”
Yolanda paused. Although she tried her best to suppress it, her facial expression still changed as she nodded. “So, you’re meeting her?”
William grunted. “Yes. That’s why I won’t be able to have dinner with you today.”

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...
