The dream suddenly stopped as it was about to end, and John awoke hastily. Sophia’s face gradually
faded into nothingness before his face. He exhaled and slowly sat up without knowing the reason why
he had such a dream. It was not like they weren’t on total abstinence; after all, they had already slept
with each other twice for the past two days. Thus, he was really confused as to why he still had
suggestive dreams like that.
John rose to his full height to distract himself from the dream that he had. After a while, he picked up
his laptop and moved to the couch in the living room. Just as he placed his phone down on the table, it
rang. He briefly glanced at it but did not answer the call.
The ringing stopped for a few seconds, and then, a knock on the door ensued. Surprised, he walked
over to the door. The visitor’s figure could not be seen through the peephole, but to be fair, there was
nothing to be afraid of in the broad daylight. So, he opened the door.
Standing outside was the woman from earlier, but she had somehow already changed into another
outfit; she now wore a bikini set that was perfect for lounging on the beach. The woman had great skin
and an admirable figure. Her hair was let loose and fell behind her shoulders. She leaned against the
door frame with her pose accentuating her body curve. Looking at John, she asked, “President
Constance, let’s discuss a little more, shall we?” She spoke slowly with a suggestive tone.
John immediately understood her meaning. However, he only studied her from head to toe. In his mind,
he tried to recall her name. He was always good at recognizing faces, but oddly, he could never
remember that particular woman. Standing still, he asked, “Did President McCaw tell you to come here
in an attire like this?”
The woman’s posture slowly straightened with the corner of her lips slightly curved. “No, President
McCaw doesn’t know anything about this.” Her eyes were playful. “He also won’t hear about this.”
He scoffed. “Does he know about the drugging, then?”
The woman was startled; she hadn’t expected him to question her about that once again. Her lips
pursed as she visibly struggled to search for the words to answer him. “I really don’t know what you’re
talking about. We didn’t spike it with drugs.”
John responded half-heartedly and closed the door without a look at her. He never liked people who
endlessly pestered him as well as those who never owned up to their mistakes—yet, the woman did
both. Never one who fancied speaking much, he picked up his phone from the living room and quickly
made a call to President McCaw.
The collaboration between their companies was actually a win-win situation for the both of them.
Constance Company was naturally happy to participate, but even so, that didn’t mean that John was
willing to be used in such a way.
President McCaw picked up the call in an instant while his voice carried a tint of delight. “President
Constance! I’m finally hearing from you.” In fact, he had indeed called John a few times since the night
before, but the latter hadn’t answered the call—not even a single time.
He had a bad temper; everyone in the industry knew that. So, he was straight to the point. “Remove the
woman at my door.”
President McCaw initially didn’t know what he meant. “What?”
John laughed coldly. “I think you’ve miscalculated when you decided to pull something like this.”
President McCaw was still confused. “Huh?”
John did not feel the need to explain and hung up. He was a man of few words and had always
preferred to use as few words as possible. Normally, it would have been enough to express his
dissatisfaction. Everything that subsequently ensued were understood and settled without any further
explanation.
He returned to the table and continued to peruse the documents on his computer. It wasn’t long before
Zack called again. John did not answer the first time around and his phone immediately rang for the
second time, making him a little frustrated; after all, he was being relentlessly bothered on his well-
deserved break. Somewhat annoyed, he answered the call, “Spill.”
At the other end of the line, there was loud music playing in Zack’s background, making it a little noisy.
So, he hadn’t realized that John was irritated and said that they were still at Edge of the World. Then,
he mentioned that Sophia was exceptionally happy and took many photos by the two boulders before
commenting that it was a pity that John couldn’t join them.
John’s tone was hostile upon interrupting him. “Did you call me just to tell me all these?”
Zack paused, thereupon changing the topic in an instant. “No, no. I called to inform you that Old Mrs.
Constance had phoned, asking about our schedule. She wants to know when we’re returning and
seems… to want Miss Bailey to pick you up.”
John closed his eyes in response. “Alright, I got it. If she calls you again, tell her that our schedule has
changed and I didn’t inform you about it. Just put all the blame on me.”
