Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 96

All the smiles and coy expressions Sophia had on her face were taken back.

She proceeded to stand up straight to look back at the door, then asked in a monotonous voice, “What’s Elder Mr. Bailey doing here? Did Isabelle go back and tell him something yesterday?”

John turned to walk toward the back of his desk. “I’m not sure. He just said he was here to have a look and mentioned something about the business.”

Although Elder Mr. Bailey was old, the entire ownership of Bailey Corporation was still held by him as he refused to surrender and let go of his power.

Sophia walked over to sit on the sofa and stretched. “You should thank me. How were my acting skills just now? Was it natural? Did it look sincere?”

John was looking through a document. He only gave her a glance from the corner of his eyes but did not reply to her.

On the other hand, Zack had returned from sending Elder Mr. Bailey off. He closed the door and spoke in a lowered voice. “Elder Mr. Bailey didn’t look quite happy when he left.”

His expression looked sullen.

Nonetheless, John did not care much about it. “It’s fine. He’s already been unhappy since a long time ago.”

Ever since the Constance Family broke off their marital engagement, the Baileys started having their own opinions.

Sophia twitched her mouth as she leaned on the sofa without saying anything.

Since it was not time to get off work yet, Sophia could only sit there and wait.


Zack had returned to minding his own business while John was reading through his documents.

Sophia was bored so she took out her phone.

There was a message on her WhatsApp. It was sent by the singer, asking whether she had arrived safely at her destination.

Sophia looked at the time and saw that it was sent last night, but she had yet to see it.

She thought for a while before replying to the message.

Then, she hummed and began watching all the gossip news.

On the other hand, John did not only have an unhealthy obsession with cleanliness, but he had other pet peeves too.

For instance, he did not like his surroundings to be noisy while he was working.

After a while, he could no longer stand the noise anymore and raised his head to look at Sophia. “Can you please be quiet?”

She turned to look at John. She noticed that he was furrowing his eyebrows and looked quite upset.

Initially, Sophia wanted to retaliate against him but dismissed the intention after the words arrived at the corner of her mouth.

After all, this was not her territory and she should be obedient.

She then nodded and said, “Then I’ll go out for a walk.”

With this, John lowered his head and continued reading the documents.

Sophia silently rolled her eyes and left John’s office while swaying her arms.

There was no one in the corridor as everyone was busy with their own work.

Since Sophia had not been to the company, she went around to have a look.

At the corner of the path ahead, she saw Dylan at a glance.

He was with another employee, and by the looks of it, he seemed to be assigning some tasks to the employee.

Sophia then smiled as she walked over without saying a word.
