With a smile, Old Mrs. Constance replied, “It looks like you don’t even want to care about your father’s
problem. I guess I must have worried too much.”
John let out a sigh and said, “I can’t even figure out my own problem, let alone taking care of his.”
Old Mrs. Constance leaned back on the seat and said, “Your problem is a lot easier than your dad’s to
take care of.”
John chuckled. “Things with me are more complicated than you think.” Sophia is more and more
rational, and I doubt that’s a good sign.
After taking his grandma home, John got changed and took lunch at home before he headed to his
office. Soon, he received a call from one of his men telling him that Third Young Lady Jefferson had
picked up Ian, who had now begun his training. Upon hearing that, John sat back in his seat and
smiled. “Alright, understood.”
John hung up the call and laid down his phone with a smile on his face. Third Young Lady Jefferson is
indeed a person who walks the talk. Despite my casual suggestion, she took care of it so soon. After
that, John proceeded to bury himself in work throughout the entire afternoon until it was time to leave
work. He only snapped out of his absorption in work when Zack dropped by to say hello.
Then, he looked at the time on his monitor screen, massaging his brow ridge. “You may leave first. I
still have some unfinished business here, so I’ll leave once I’m done.”
Hearing his superior’s words, Zack nodded. “Don’t stay up too late. You need to cut yourself some
slack.” After Zack left, John took a few more files and continued to compare the figures on them with
those on the screen. Not long after that, the office door was open, but John didn’t look this time.
“What’s the matter? If you have a document, just put it on the table.” Nevertheless, he soon heard a
chuckle.
John paused as he turned around before he knitted his brows. “Why are you here?”
Isabelle curled her lips upward and said with a deep voice, “Something has been bothering me deep
down, so I came here to talk. This is about us, and I’d like to hear from you.” Although John understood
what she wanted to hear, he knew what he did the night before was a little too mean to Isabelle.
Therefore, he put his work aside and crossed his arms, placing his hands on his thighs. “I wasn’t being
mean to you yesterday. I left earlier because I was busy.”
Isabelle walked closer and sat opposite John. “I didn’t know Mrs. Constance would do that because I
thought she had already gotten over with what happened the last time. So, I just want to say sorry for
upsetting you.”
“Well, you didn’t.” John smiled and said, “It’s no big deal anyway.”
Isabelle appeared rather guilty. “I subsequently realized that it could jeopardize both our companies’
reputations if anyone saw what happened yesterday, and I should have thought that through. If Mrs.
Constance ever calls me for lunch or something next time, I’ll be sure to contact you first.”
John chuckled and replied, “Never mind! It’s not necessary.” I’m not going to eat out with my mom
anytime soon anyway.
In the meantime, Isabelle was seen holding a shopping bag that looked similar to the one she left at the
reception counter earlier. Then, she handed it over to John and said, “This is a gift from our client.
Actually, they gave us a dozen of these, so I figure I should give you one too.”
John didn’t bother asking anything but instead thanked her with a brief reply. After putting the gift on the
table, Isabelle leaned on the chair and said, “Mrs. Constance has always been kind to me, and we
enjoy each other’s presence. Therefore, I reckon she did that because she still can’t get over our
engagement earlier, so I’ll perhaps find a suitable time to talk to her about that.”
