The Returning EX (John and Sophia)

Chapter 273

John did not claim to fully know Logan’s social circle, but he had an idea how it looked like.

Logan had managed to invite two of his good friends for lunch. Those two must have been special to

him.

John stared at the photo for some time before tapping into it and zooming in.

There was obviously a person across from him, judging from the angle of the photo. The unknown

person had her hand on the table edge with an eye-catching ring on her finger.

John flashed a cold smile and scrutinized the hand in that photo. It was not surprising indeed.

There was no hint of the third lunch buddy in the photo, but John was confident about his identity.

He closed the app and put his phone away to finish his lunch in silence.

Zack returned to the office slightly late after the lunch break and informed that he had handed the

dessert store over to the construction workers.

He had documents that needed to be signed by John. While walking over, he clicked his tongue and

complained, “Sophia had me running errands for her, but she went for a feast at noon. My chest, it

hurts.”

John continued reading the documents with his head hanging low. “How did you know that she had a

feast?”

Zack blinked. “I saw her Facebook post.”

Then, he took out his phone to show John her post. John took a glance at the photo that had the same

caption as Logan’s, but it was taken from a different angle.

He curled his lips. “You’re right.”

Zack stole a glance at John. “No one is there to reign her in, so she’s literally roaming freely around.”

John signed the document. “That’s not a bad thing. Before this, she led a very restrictive life. I guess

it’s good that she is enjoying her freedom now.”

Zack thought about it and nodded. “You’re right. A girl like Sophia won’t be mistreated out there. After Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

all, she’s pretty.”

John sank into silence while Zack grinned, knowing that he had said enough to trigger his boss.

When John was done signing the documents, Zack gathered them up and said goodbye to John before

leaving.

John crossed his arms against the tabletop, and his gaze landed on the mug at the edge of the table.

That mug was newly bought by Zack after the previous one was thrown out by Sophia.

He stared at it for a long time before scrunching his forehead slowly.

After that, he was busy for the entire afternoon, even leaving with William to run some errands, which

was to check a few storage warehouses under their names. Next, he met up with a client.

Amidst his busyness, time flew by very fast. It was not until the evening that he returned to the

company with William.

In the elevator, John’s phone started buzzing, therefore he checked it and took the call after some

hesitation.

The caller was someone he had dispatched to investigate Simon and Sally. According to the caller, he

was done with the investigation and had organized the information, which he would send over to John.

John replied, “Okay. Any useful clues?”

“Yes.” The caller affirmed, “Those two are quite high-key, and it was not hard to get information on

them. They have frequently been liaising with the senior executives from the Morgans’ business without

any attempt to hide it. It was easy for us to get the details.”

John said, “Okay. Text me the information. I’ll reach out to you again if there’s something.”

The caller took note of it and ended the call. Right when John stored his phone away, William

immediately inquired, “Who called?”

John put on a natural expression and reported, “It was a call from my staff. I had them investigate

something before, and now the results are out now.”

Since he did not go into the details of the investigation, William did not bother to ask and merely

grunted. The two men stepped out of the elevator to find that the employees were preparing to leave

work.
