Zack had worked for John for years, but it was his first time seeing him so discomposed. When John
was forced to marry Sophia back then, even though he was upset and irritated, he wasn’t as flustered
as he was now. However, Zack couldn’t explain clearly what was wrong with John in everything he did.
John was just different from his past self.
Sophia didn’t want to know more about John, for the more she learned, the more upset she would
become. Patting on the car, she said, “Alright. I have to get into the shop. You should go back now. I’ll
inform you when I’ve set a date for the shop opening.”
Zack mumbled an acknowledgement and watched her enter the shop before stepping on the gas
pedal.
When he returned to the company, John was in his office. Zack walked in and saw John signing his
name on documents. After that, John gazed at Zack and said, “I saw the video. The shop name doesn’t
sound good.”
Zack replied, “I don’t think it sounds good either, but Sophia likes it.”
“She likes it?” John sneered. “Well, she likes all sorts of weird things.” With that, he tossed his pen to
the side, apparently displeased.
Although Zack didn’t dare utter a word, he thought that it was none of John’s business. Since they were
divorced, John no longer had the right to interfere in Sophia’s business.
For the entire afternoon, John was absent-minded when working. In the evening, William came to look
for him and told him to attend a social gathering with him. John hadn’t attended any social events for a
long time, so he agreed to it upon hearing that, since he had nothing to do at home anyway.
The place of the gathering was decided by the other party. After work, John and William headed for the
restaurant. They heard that a fresh batch of seafood was sent to the restaurant just hours ago.
When they arrived, the people of the other party were already there. Also, the fish tanks that housed
the marine animals were placed in the lobby. John took a look and retracted his gaze.
All of a sudden, he fell into a daze as he recalled the moment when he enjoyed a meal with Sophia
during a business trip some time ago. At the same time, the image of Logan and Sophia picking out
seafood sprang to his mind as well.
For the entire afternoon, Sophia’s shop name kept bugging him. No Response. What a bad-sounding
name. I suspect that this name is an innuendo about me!
When John and William entered the private room, the people of the other party were already seated.
No matter how unhappy John was, he had to force a smile at them. After greeting each other, they took
their respective seats and started having their meal.
John tried to focus and make himself appear to be happy. However, halfway through it, he became
impatient. Clenching the cigarette case in his pocket, he said, “Excuse me. I need to use the restroom.”
After walking out of the private room, instead of going to the restroom, he walked along the corridor and
reached a smaller hall which functioned as a balcony. As the windows were open, the night breeze
blew into the room.
Upon fishing out the cigarette case, John took out a cigarette and searched for his lighter. With no one
in the hall, he stood by the windows. Just when he wanted to light up the cigarette, he heard a voice
from behind. “John?”
John was startled and forgot to light up the cigarette. Turning around, he saw Isabelle, who seemed to
be intoxicated.
With a flushed face, Isabelle flashed a smile at him. “It’s really you.” Walking over, she continued, “I
thought I was mistaken.” With one hand pressed against the windowsill, she smacked her forehead
with her other hand. “I’ve drunk some wine, so my vision is a little blurry now.”
