Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 848

John responded with a nod and answered, “Noted, but please do something about the rest of the parts, even though they’re fine.”

Upon hearing that, Zack knew what John meant by that. “Alright, I know what to do.” After that, Zack turned around and headed toward the exit. The moment he opened the door, John saw Dylan walking past in a hurried manner with some documents in his hands. He then took a look at the time and realized it was still their lunch break. Therefore, he decided to step out of his office and follow Dylan to his room just as the latter was opening the door. As soon as Dylan unlocked his room door, John asked, “You look busy. Have you taken your lunch?”

Stunned, Dylan looked back and gazed at John with a smile. “Oh, I’m not always this busy, except today, so I merely cut my lunch break short.”

The next moment, John entered Dylan’s office as if he was going into his own and sat down. “Your health should come first. After all, work will never get completely done, so take a break when you have to.”

Dylan curled his lips upward and went along with John’s words. “Yeah, work just keeps coming.”

Soon, John changed the subject and said, “Actually, there is something that I’ve been rather curious about. You told Aunt Jennifer that you have a crush on someone, whom she happens to know as well. Do you mind telling me who she is?”

Dylan chuckled and said, “Come on! Don’t tell me that matter has been bothering you ever since the day I brought it up?”

John crossed his fingers on his lap. “Well, it does come across my thoughts once in a while.”

Dylan stared at John and asked, “No offense, John, but are you scared of something?”

John didn’t deny Dylan’s suspicion right away but gave him an explanation instead. “I’m not actually scared but just curious and worried at the same time.” Then, he added, “Well, I believe you should know what I mean by that. I’m not worried about anything that could go wrong between you and the person I’m thinking of. Instead, I’m just a little concerned that you might have unknowingly put this person in a tight spot.” John let out a sigh and went on to say, “After all, you probably know what kind of a person Aunt Jennifer is better than any of us. Therefore, I’m saying I just want to stay out of unnecessary trouble.”

Dylan paused in that instant, knowing he would have never realized his mistake if John hadn’t reminded him to be subtle. It seems that I have really neglected the possibility that my ambiguous explanation could put Sophia in trouble. No wonder Mom didn’t seem happy when she saw me and Sophia together last time. He then sat down and sighed. “I see where you’re coming from. This is my bad. I should have been more considerate.”
