The Returning Ex

Raking a hand through his hair, Zack chortled. “I’m really anxious when I see the two of you at such an impasse.” Then, he left the room with the documents.

John chuckled lightly. Who isn’t anxious? I myself am anxious, but some things can’t be resolved in haste. I’ve done a few foolish things in the past, which is why I end up boxing myself into a passive state of affairs now. Sighing, he then lowered his head and started perusing the documents.

Meanwhile, Sophia plopped onto the chair for a rest after having bustled around. She was feeling crummy, but she couldn’t quite pinpoint what exactly was ailing her. My head seems to be spinning, but it then feels as though it’s gastric reflux, and at the same time, it also feels like a stomachache.

Getting to her feet, she waved at Robin. “I’m going home first. Just close up if you can’t handle things. It’s fine.” Thus, Robin couldn’t do anything else but

When she next woke up, it was already afternoon. My mind feels much clearer now. She got up and stretched before going downstairs, only to be greeted by the sight of John standing downstairs with another man.
