The Returning Ex

Sophia went on a trip in the mall out of boredom despite not having anything in mind that she wanted to buy, as she merely wanted to be in a crowd.

There weren’t a lot of people in the mall since it was office hours, which meant a lot of people were at work. She headed to a jewelry shop after some thought, as she figured she needed a ring around her finger.

There were even lesser people in the shop when Sophia made her way into it. She told the attendant who came up to her with much enthusiasm in a blunt manner that she needed a ring, so the attendant motioned for her to follow her into the shop. “Over here please, Madam.”

They just arrived at the display counter for rings when her phone rang with a call from Ian, which she picked up immediately. “Aren’t you busy? Why’d you have time for me?”

“It’s almost noon now, so I’d like to know where you are, and if you would like to have lunch with me.” Ian was chuckling over the call.

When Sophia checked the time, it was exactly like what he said, for it was indeed noon time, so she grunted in assent before telling him her location. “I seem to be around where your office is, so do you want to come over here?”
