The Returning Ex

Upon reading through the contract once again, Zack reassured Sophia that all was well, as everything that needed to be amended was amended. Thus, Sophia signed it without hesitation. Meanwhile, Robin sat behind the counter silently without even acknowledging Mr. Reyes. The latter knew why she was behaving like that, as he swindled a lot of her money.

Seeing the landlord just kills my mood, so I don’t feel like doing any shopkeeping today at all. I want to go on a stroll outside.”

Sophia was sitting by the window while staring into the distance when she replied, “Sure.” Her phone buzzed as soon as she said so, a call coming in from Ian, which she picked up immediately.

His voice sounded a little languid through the call as he asked, “Where are you?”

A chuckle could be heard through the call. “Alone?”
