Chapter 306


    After a pause, Sophia looked up at Dn. “The construction has officially started but I’m not sure how


    long it will take for the renovations to bepleted. I bet it won’t take long since the shop isn’t huge.”


    Dn rested his hands on the table. “What will you sell? Have you given it a thought?”


    The question sparked Sophia’s enthusiasm and she nodded. “I’ve done research on the inte and


    N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    saw plenty of desserts. I think that it’ll work once Robin and I test it out. Honestly, I can actually pick up


    the rest when I’m in the kitchen.”


    Dn raised his eyebrows and asked, “Really?”


    Sophia answered seriously, “It’s true! Oh right, you haven’t tried my cooking. Actually, I think they’re


    quite delicious, if I may say so myself. Just ask John if you don’t believe me.” She then turned to look at


    John and ask, “Am I right?”


    “Yes. It’s delicious.” John nodded in agreement. He wasn’t sure what secret ingredient Sophia added in


    the food but he could clearly taste that it was indeed amazing when he tried it earlier in the dining room.


    It wasn’t because the others tasted bad but perhaps he was just used to that particr taste.


    Sophia loved to have guests over so she took the opportunity to invite Dn. “If you’re free, please


    Staring at Sophia, Isabelle said straightforwardly, “I’m also very curious about your cooking skills, Miss


    Gwendolyn. If you don’t mind, I coulde along with Dn?”


    Sophia was stunned. She looked at Isabelle, surprised that thetter would say that. She thought that


    Isabelle would hide from her but to her astonishment, she was keen on meeting her head on.


    Immediately, she smiled. “Sure. I don’t mind. You cane over whenever you’re free.”


    Isabelle nodded in thanks. “That’s great. I was afraid that you’ll be angry if I show up.”


    “Of course not.” Sophia leaned back on the chair. “You’re the coborating partner of Constance


    Company, which is also John’s coborating partner, so how will I be angry?” With that, she nced at


    John. “What do you say?”


    John had plenty of knowledge in business but he wasn’t as wise in rtionships. From their


    conversations, he actually sensed that Sophia and Isabelle werepeting but he couldn’t understand


    it entirely so he could only make a guess. Sophia was never fond of Isabelle, most probably due to his


    mother. Yet, he wouldn’t me Sophia for that because his mother always mentioned Isabelle and


    frequentlypared the both of them. Most people would be unhappy about that.


    As for Isabelle, when it came to Sophia… Recalling what Isabelle said, he felt that perhaps she sensed


    the hostility from Sophia so she reacted the same way too as a form of self defence. After all, any


    normal person would fight back if they were targeted. Therefore, the root cause was actually his


    mother.


    After Sophia asked John the question, she stared at him with a smile. Naturally, he couldn’t say


    anything else so he just briefly replied and agreed, “Miss Bailey is indeed my coborating partner and


    having a meal together is no big deal. However, I think that it would be better if we had it outside.” He


    wasn’t really willing to invite Dn over to their house. There was no reason for it but he just didn’t like


    it.


    Sophia replied, “Right, it’s about business anyway. It’s better if we had a meal outside.” She then


    nodded in agreement. “I’m sorry for not being considerate.” With that, she turned to look at Dn. “In


    that case, you should juste alone.”


    John choked on his words for a while. Sophia must be doing that on purpose, deliberately pretending


    not to understand his meaning. Meanwhile, Dnughed and agreed, “Sure.”


    After exchanging a few more words, they started to get impatient.
