Chapter 540
As for the others, who knew what thoughts they had? Sophia wasn’t stupid; she wouldn’t easily believe
those who didn’t show their true feelings this time.
After standing there for a while, she then returned to the counter. Now that there were no customers,
Robin felt a little bored, so she said, “Mr. Constance hasn’t visited for several days.”
Sophia smiled. “Why? Do you miss him?”
Taken aback, Robin stared at her. “Don’t talk nonsense! Why would I miss him? I’m just stating an
observation. You’d better not think otherwise.”
Sophia grinned and replied, “I’m just joking. Why are you so serious?”
Robin flipped her hair without a word.
Speaking of the devil, John drove to the shop in the evening. He didn’t get out of the car but simply
tooted the horn twice. Recognizing that it was John’s car at a nce, Robin hurried out. “Mr.
Constance, what’s the matter?”
John lowered the car window and nced into the shop. “Is Sophia inside?”
Robin was startled for a moment. Then, she looked back before saying, “Are you here to see Sophia?”
“No.” John smiled.
Sophia was still standing at the counter. Although she didn’t stare at John, she couldn’t help but notice
him from the corner of her eyes.
After talking with John for a while, Robin turned around and came back in. She then said to Sophia,
“Mr. Constance wants to take away a piece of cake. He said that he’s going to meet a client and he’ll
eat it on the way there.”
Sophia frowned. “What important client is that for him to be in such a hurry without even having time for
a meal?”
Robin shrugged her shoulders. “I don’t know. I felt that Mr. Constance was a little excited when he
mentioned the client, so I suppose it should be some bigshot.”
Sophia didn’t speak further, so Robin helped to pack the cake up and take it out to John, who didn’t
even greet Sophia and drove off just like that.
Standing at the counter, Sophia didn’t know what she was thinking about. All she knew was that she
suddenly felt a little down in the dumps and that everything was meaningless. Even when evening
came around and the shop closed for the day, Sophia still felt irritable for no reason in particr.
Robin had left first, leaving Sophia to calcte the day’s turnover. After dragging it out for a while, she
didn’t hail a cab but chose to slowly walk back home.
On the way back, her phone rang. She took it out to have a look and saw that it was from John.
However, it had only rang for a few seconds before the other party hung up. It was as if he had
identally called her.

So, Sophia decided to just ignore it. When she got home, it was already dark and she was not in the
mood to cook, so she simply ate some leftover pasta from the fridge. Then, she sat on the sofa to
watch TV, but it wasn’t long before her mind wandered, and her heart felt like there was a thorn in it.
After a while, the phone lying on the coffee table rang again. It was from John once more, but this time,
he didn’t hang up immediately. Sophia took the phone over and nced at it, then picked up the call.
Her tone was a little cold without her realizing it as she asked, “What do you want?”
Amidst a noisy background, John’s words were slurred when he spoke. “Sophia,e here.”
Sophia was taken aback. “Did you drink?”
John repeated, “Come here.”
Sophia thought for a while before asking, “Is Zack with you?”
Silence fell. After some time, John finally answered, “No.”
Sophia remembered that John had said he was going to meet a client just before evening. Considering
the circumstances now, he had probably drunk too much while socializing with the client. However, why
did John go over to such a social event by himself?
Just as Sophia was trying to decide how to reply to John, the man continued saying, “I’ve tried out what
you suggested, but I don’t think it works.”
After a moment of confusion, Sophia reacted a little faster this time and asked, “What I suggested? Do
you mean the matter about Isabelle?”
