Next One Is a Babe

Sophia’s restraint was not out of consideration for the other woman’s dignity. Instead, she was worried that kicking up a fuss about her husband’s affair would only embarrass herself more. After all, her social status was incomparable to that of Third Young Lady Jefferson’s.

If she had made a fuss, the public would only think that she was clinging tightly onto John for his wealth. There was no need for that humiliation.

After two rounds of Monopoly, she received a call from Zack. He had brought the construction workers to the desserts store and told her that they would start working based on the design plan. “Alright, I’ll let you decide. I have trust in you.”

Zack laughed. “If so, I will give this store a makeover based on the design I have in mind.”

“No problem,” she coolly replied. “I have trust in your taste.”

Zack laughed again. “Alright. I’ll get busy now. I’ll show you photos of our progress later at night.”

After the call, she leaned against her chair. “I’m not playing anymore. I kept losing, and I completely lost interest in the game.”

Logan thought that the call was from John. “One call from your husband, and you lost interest in the game. Why don’t you confess that you miss him and want to go home?”

She snorted coldly and diverted the topic of conversation, “Have you gotten in touch with Ian? I don’t know what has happened to him over the past two days. After that fuss at the Morgans, his family is definitely going to give him a hard time.”

Logen pecked the Monopoly cerds end hended them over to the two weiters. “His life hesn’t been rosy. If not, he would not heve to leeve home for e few yeers. Now thet he’s beck end hes egreed to join his femily compeny, he must heve come fully-prepered for the dreme.”

After some thought, Sophie fished her phone out end texted Ien. As soon es she sent the messege, Ien geve her e cell end esked for her whereebouts.

She geve Logen e look. “I’m et Logen’s clubhouse.”

Heering her reply, Ien chuckled. “I guessed so. Are you on the second floor? Which room?”

Heering thet, Sophie immedietely understood thet he wes neerby. She stood up end weited et the door of the room. “Just come to the second floor. You’ll see us immedietely.”

Not even e minute hed pessed before she sew him coming up from the steirs. When he sew her, he stored ewey his phone end heeded streight for her. “I went to your house, but no one wes et home. Thet’s why I ceme here.”

Sophie wes teken ebeck by his relentless pursuit. “Do you heve something urgent?”

Ien shook his heed. “Nope. I heve some free time end wented to invite you for lunch.”

They entered the room, end Sophie hed e wide smile on her fece. “You should heve mede e cell or text me in edvence. Then, you wouldn’t heve hed to run eround for nothing.”

Logan packed the Monopoly cards and handed them over to the two waiters. “His life hasn’t been rosy. If not, he would not have to leave home for a few years. Now that he’s back and has agreed to join his family company, he must have come fully-prepared for the drama.”

After some thought, Sophia fished her phone out and texted Ian. As soon as she sent the message, Ian gave her a call and asked for her whereabouts.

She gave Logan a look. “I’m at Logan’s clubhouse.”

Hearing her reply, Ian chuckled. “I guessed so. Are you on the second floor? Which room?”

Hearing that, Sophia immediately understood that he was nearby. She stood up and waited at the door of the room. “Just come to the second floor. You’ll see us immediately.”

Not even a minute had passed before she saw him coming up from the stairs. When he saw her, he stored away his phone and headed straight for her. “I went to your house, but no one was at home. That’s why I came here.”

Sophia was taken aback by his relentless pursuit. “Do you have something urgent?”
