Chapter 177


    “They seemed to be rather impudent.” A sigh escaped Sophia. She had a feeling that the Constances


    also disliked John, but they were smart enough to keep their thoughts to themselves instead of


    showing them.


    On the flip side, things seemed worse with the Morgans, as they wouldn’t even pretend to get along


    with Ian. It was proof that they were less tolerant toward people, and it would affect their business in


    the long run.


    Meanwhile, silence befell as Ian wore a smile on his face. It wasn’t long before the procedure was dealt


    with, which meant he would begin working by the next day. Ian stood as he nned to meet Mr.


    Zimmel, while Sophia was unsure if she should go with him, thus asked, “Should I wait here?”


    “Sure, I’ll be right back.” Ian gave her a nod. The staff from HR came in and handed her a ss of


    water after he left, while Sean followed behind the staff.

    “President Morgan, he’s out, if you’re here for Ian.” It wasn’t hard for Sophia to surmise his intentions


    as she held the ss between her palms.


    Sean cut to the chase and didn’t seem to mindying his cards out. “No, I’m here for you.”


    It was by then that Sophia realized the benefits of being John’s wife, as she was treated with courtesy


    even in enemy territory, while she wouldn’t even be able to step through the doors of thepany on


    her own.


    “How’d youe to meet Ian, Mrs. Constance?” While seated across from Sophia, Sean asked his first


    question.


    “What’s your n, President Morgan? Are you trying to filter through thepany your brother keeps?”


    The ambiguous answer was due to Sophia’s doubt in whether she should be honest.


    A smile bloomed on Sean’s face. “That’s not the case, so please don’t overthink this, Mrs. Constance. I


    am merely curious.”


    “I would say we are fated to meet each other. John and I met Ian when we were on a business trip, and


    we kept in touch after that since we find each other to be pleasantpany.”


    As she set the cup down on the table, Sophia spoke with a smile on her face, “John is a businessman,


    so his willingness to befriend Ian meant that he might’ve seen something in him.”


    The reason she mentioned John was because she didn’t want anybody to focus on her rtionship


    with Ian, but Sean was focused on something else as he nodded. “Does Mr. Constance get along with


    Ian?”


    “Yeah, as they share simr hobbies. As you might have known, my husband hasn’t the best


    personality, so Ian is one of the rare people to be able to get along with him,” Sophia gave a curt reply.


    Silence befell as Sean averted his gaze, while Sophia did the same as she held her gaze. What she


    said was a lie, so she couldn’t reveal too much information in order to avoid making mistakes that


    would jeopardize herself. Sean gave a curt response before ending the conversation altogether, but


    Sophia was unsure if he believed in her lie.


    Ian entered the room once again after Sean left a few minutester, to which Sophia stood to greet


    him, “Can we leave now?”


    “Sure, as I’ve already exined everything to Mr. Zimmel. All I have to do is to arrive on time


    tomorrow,” Ian said with a nod.


    The two of them then walked over to the elevator. There were two types of elevators, one which was


    open for public use, while the other was exclusive to certain individuals. Sophia didn’t hesitate to press


    the button for the exclusive one, while Ian wore a smile as they entered the elevator.


    By that point, she couldn’t care less about it as she was close to figuring out Ian’s intentions for asking


    to meet her when he calledst night. He was trying to take advantage of her identity by bringing her


    along to thepany.


    Judging from what Simon said, Ian’s position was decided prior to that day, but her presence prompted


    Sean to make ast minute decision to change Ian’s position.


    While Sophia being an individual wouldn’t have been able to alter the situation, the fact that she was


    backed by John did. Her sharing an amicable rtionship with Ian would almost mean that thetter


    shared a simr bond with John. The decision to be more partial toward Ian on Sean’s part was most


    likely due to certain underlying concerns he had.


    Upon figuring everything out, Sophia wasn’t about to me Ian, as she knew he had it hard. He would


    never even consider such a method if he had other means to improve his circumstances.
