Next One Is a Babe

Chuckling, Robin asked, “Did I say too much?”

“It’s fine,” assured John.

Putting on a smile, Robin asked again, “What brings you here?”

Glancing at the time, John said, “ Nothing. You’d better get home now. I won’t hold you up.”

“Alright,” replied Robin with a smile.

Waving goodbye at John, Robin headed toward the opposite direction.

With a hardened expression, John stood before Sophia’s shop.

I should’ve known. Sophia, this woman has got the better of me.

Humming a little tune, Robin walked off and managed to hail for a taxi. Before she went in the taxi, she turned around to take a gander at the shop.

Holding a cigarette in his mouth, John was still standing there and was seen lighting up the cigarette.

With the corner of her mouth curved up, Robin got into the taxi.

Lighting up the cigarette, John took a puff.

With that, he took out his phone, and instead of calling up someone, John snapped a picture of the shop's board.

Obviously, he couldn’t help but get ticked off whenever he saw the board.

After staring at the photo for a while, John took another puff and walked toward his car.

Not knowing what had happened, Sophia got home and went on with the mundane household chores, like preparing meals, as well as cleaning up the house.

Since she had been living on her own, the cleanliness of the house could be easily maintained.

When it was near sundown, Sophia headed upstairs to her room.

As soon as she got into her room, she went straight to close the windows. While she was about to pull the curtains, she stopped abruptly.

Looking out of her window, there was a car parked right below the streetlight, so she could clearly see who was in the car.

Staring at the car below, Sophia smirked and pulled the curtains.

Damn! Humans are such complicated beings! In the past, he had been ignoring me most of the time, and even gave me the cold shoulders. Why is he acting like this all of a sudden?

Lying on her bed, Sophia surfed the gossip news over the internet. Fortunately, gossip was something the entertainment world never lacked. Once she had read through the news, she figured it was about time, so she placed her phone down.

Upon thinking about it, she walked toward the window and slowly peeped through the curtains.

Surprisingly, John’s car was still parked in the same place, and the car's engine was turned off. As it was really dark inside, she couldn't tell whether John was in the car.

Pursing her lips, she rolled her eyes and headed to the wardrobe to get herself a set of clean clothes before entering the bathroom.

Perhaps triggered by her own selfish motive, she took her own sweet time in the bathroom.

Filling up the bathtub with water, Sophia soaked herself into the tub, and even took a really short nap.

As soon as she was out, she blow-dried her hair and changed into a set of clean clothing. Walking toward the window, she saw John’s car still stationed at the same spot.
