Next One Is a Babe

Sophia did not know how long she had been asleep, but she was in a bit of a daze when she woke up.

Looking around, she had no idea what room she was in.

She stayed in bed for a bit before getting down to go open the door.

John was not in the office. It was all empty.

She stretched then turned back to look at the lounge room.

The rich never forget to enjoy themselves no matter what. Who knew it was possible to have a lounge room inside an office?

She was the one who knew too little about the world.

If I take over that dessert shop, I can probably do the same and have my own lounge room of some sort.

She sat down on the sofa and looked at the time. She had not slept for that long.

There was still a lot of time left before people got off work.

She was bored out of her mind so she left his office.

This time, she did not take a walk inside the Constance Company but took the elevator down and went outside.

People were coming and going in the afternoon buzz.

She stood at the entrance of the Constance Company for a while before walking down a street.

The neighboring area was filled with office buildings where commercialization was deeply ingrained.

She had never been to a place like that before so it was all very new to her.

Not too far ahead, there was a chain store that did bridal dress photoshoots.

The storefront was huge. As she was walking by, she spotted a wedding dress that was placed in the display window.

She stopped in her tracks.

At the time, her wedding with John was very grand, but it also made her very flustered.

Since she had never been to such a large-scale event, she was actually frightened.
Sophia did not know how long she had been asleep, but she was in a bit of a daze when she woke up.

The Constance Family also had many rules. The housekeeper who Mrs. Constance sent spent almost the entire night telling her everything—about what she had to look out for, about the kind of people she would meet, as well as the kind of expressions she should have on her face.

Back in her village, she had seen the look on people’s faces when they got married.

They were all laughing and happy.

But being here, she was not able to smile at all.

Closing in, she looked at the wedding dress in the display window.

Her wedding dress at the time was said to have been bought with a large sum of money from overseas then shipped to them by air.

Because Mrs. Constance wanted to show off, she had introduced that wedding dress to Sophia.

She talked about the number of diamonds on the dress and how they were all embroidered by hand.

Sophia did not understand any of those things, but she simply felt more tired than usual while wearing it because it was so heavy.

That wedding dress was still hung up in one of the rooms inside the main building at the Constance Residence now.

What a waste.

Even if John got married again, Isabelle would not want to use something that Sophia had used before.

It was so expensive and it was just tossed aside.

There were customers inside the bridal shop. She saw the worker walk past with a gift box in her hands.

She stared at what was inside and felt slightly remorseful.

She always thought that a good woman like her would only have to put on a wedding dress once.

Especially when she was being tormented at the time of her wedding, she swore to herself that that would be her first and last marriage in this life.

In the end, the slap in the face only came late but it was not non-existent.

It had not been a year yet. The universe was giving her another chance.

Taking a deep breath, she turned around and continued walking ahead.
