Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 855


Sophia proceeded to tell Matilda the same reason she told Ian—that Logan was drunk and asleep. In response, Matilda replied, “Oh, I see. But why would he drink in the day? What’s wrong with him?”

After hearing Matilda’s question, Sophia only smiled in silence as she didn’t know how to put it to her. Soon, Matilda sat next to her and asked, “So, what’re we going to do now? Just sit here all day?”

Sophia looked up at the ceiling and sighed. “That’s a good question. I have no idea what we could do to kill time.”

Not long after that, Matilda seemingly figured out a way to kill time, so she beckoned to one of the staff and said, “Let’s play poker. Come and join us.”

Sophia helplessly stared at Matilda. “You’re quite the gambler, aren’t you?”

Matilda shot a gaze at Ian and asked, “Care to join us?”

At the same time, Ian was just done with his meal. “Sure, why not?”

Meanwhile, Sophia was beginning to think that playing poker was, in fact, not a bad idea, or they would be bored to tears while waiting for Logan to wake up. Before heading over to the game room, Sophia told another staff to check on Logan. That dude has been out like a dead man since the moment he was carried to his room. I doubt he is going to wake up anytime soon.

As the four of them began to play their game, the atmosphere was instantly lightened up. Shortly after the first round started, Sophia received a call from John, which she didn’t bother looking at before answering it because she was too engrossed in the poker game.

Nonetheless, John didn’t say a single word after the call connected until Sophia called out to him. “Are you there, John?”

At that moment, Ian was stunned as he paused and gazed at her with a glacial look on his face. It turned out that John had been away from his office for some official business and was planning to go straight home after that. Thus, he was calling Sophia to ask her whether she had any cravings so that he could buy them on the way.

Sophia responded with an affirmative hum. “Oh, I’m now at Logan’s club. Ian is back, and we’re planning to eat out tonight. So, why don’t you join us?”

John was alert when he heard Ian’s name, whereupon he replied with an indifferent grunt. “I see. That’s soon.” A few seconds later, he added, “Anyway, I’ll be on my way to meet you guys.” Sophia then put her phone down and placed one of her cards in the center just as Ian suddenly chuckled in a nonchalant manner.
