Next One Is a Babe
Chapter 139
John froze, at a loss as to how Isabelle came into the conversation. His brows creased for a moment before easing. Meanwhile, Sophia glanced at him with mirth etched on her face before she lowered her head and resumed eating.
After breakfast, John went to work, while Sophia leaned back against the sofa and watched television. It was early in the morning, so there wasn’t any interesting program. She held the remote in her hand, channel-surfing impatiently.
When John had reached the door, he looked back over his shoulder at Sophia who was dressed casually, leaning back against the sofa with her legs crossed. She’s truly laid-back. I won’t even consider befriending such a lady, let alone marrying her. He stared at her for a while before leaving and closing the door behind him.
He then drove to the office. As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he saw Zack waiting right at the doors of the elevator, and he seemed to be waiting for him in particular. When Zack caught sight of him, he hurried over and exclaimed, “Boss, there’s something I need to tell you.”
John was a touch surprised since he’d never seen Zack this anxious. He snorted. “Did someone give you a hard time?”
Zack shook his head. “No, no, let’s talk in your office.” He was fairly bursting at the seams, and as soon as they’d entered John’s office, he promptly closed the door. Then, he stared at John anxiously. “The Bailey Family called early in the morning.”
John’s brows knitted together. “The Bailey Family?”
Zack nodded. “Yes, the Bailey Family, Miss Isabelle Bailey’s family, called Young Master William. It sounds as though they’re interested in a collaboration of sorts.”
John was momentarily taken aback. “Who called?”
Letting out a sigh, Zack answered, “From Young Master William’s tone, it sounded as though it was Elder Mr. Bailey who called.”
John said nothing, but his expression was rather solemn. Even when the Bailey and Constance Families were planning to be related by marriage back then, the subject of collaborating never came up.
In fact, Mrs. Constance had once brought this up to William in private, saying that the two companies should have business dealings together since they were planning to be related by marriage. Back then, William replied that the Baileys never mentioned this.
Thus, it seemed that Elder Mr. Bailey wasn’t in a hurry to associate with the Constance Family in business. He was an extremely cautious person, so he might have worried that the in-law relationship could possibly impede the collaboration.
Now, however, they’re suddenly bringing up the subject of collaborating. Could it be that they’re convinced that Sophia and I aren’t divorced, thus gave up hope on my relationship with Isabelle and planned to become regular business partners instead? After a while, John asked Zack, “What did Young Master William say? Did he give an immediate reply?”
Zack shook his head. “No, but it seems that someone from the Bailey Family will be coming later to take a look at the specific situation here.”
John nodded. “Alright, got it. You can go and get busy.”
However, Zack was still a tad worried. “If we collaborate with the Bailey Family, will you then always be with Isabelle Bailey?”
