Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 572

Sophia stood at the side. “Why did you imbibe during the day?”

Fabian snorted. “What do you know?”

Not in the mood to argue with him, Sophia relented. “Whatever. Just leave since you’re awake. I’ve got things to do, too.”

Fabian shook his head in an attempt to clear his mind. “I owe you one for this incident today.” Getting to his feet, he fished out his cell phone and glanced at the time. Subsequently, he sighed, his expression inexplicably tinged with a hint of bitterness though his thoughts remained indiscernible.

When he’d left, Sophia straightened up the living room for a bit before going to her shop. There weren’t any customers at this time, so Robin was cleaning the place. She was in high spirits, humming while she worked, looking extremely cheery. Sophia stood at the door when she arrived, yet Robin didn’t notice her at all, absently mopping the floor while occasionally singing before bursting into giggles when something occurred to her. At this, Sophia timely asked, “What’s the joyous occasion that you’re giggling aloud?”

Her sudden voice startled Robin, and she hastily patted herself on the chest. “When did you reach? I didn’t hear you.”

Walking over, Sophia went behind the counter. “Well, you were deep in thought, so much so that you blocked out everything. I’m truly curious. I’ve been standing there for a long while, but you didn’t notice me at all.” After she’d said this, she asked again, “What were you thinking just now that you were giggling so sweetly?”

Robin raked a hand through her hair. “Nothing. I’m just feeling rather relaxed since there aren’t any customers now, so I can take things easy.”

Turning, Sophia looked at her, upon which she hurriedly lowered her head and continued mopping the floor. Sophia narrowed her eyes, her intuition screaming that Robin was lying to her.

Since it was rather late when she arrived at the shop, it was almost time to get off work just after she’d busied herself in the shop for a while. Thus, she had Robin leaving first, while she herself stayed for some time. I don’t even know what I’ve done today, yet the day is over in a fleeting moment.

Flipping the closed sign, she sat by the window and gazed out. The shop in the flooring business right across was still open, and while sitting there, she then glimpsed the boy showing a customer their products in the shop. For some inexplicable reason, a hint of envy welled within her. The owner of the shop was an amicable man, his son guileless and his wife virtuous; their family of three lived harmoniously.
