Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 61

Zack was considerably quick to catch on. As soon as he saw the expression Sophia was making, he immediately understood what was going through her mind. Thus, he glanced at John and said in a serious tone, “What’s wrong, Boss? Is there something going on with work? We are on vacation, yet you’re still working. You sure have it hard.”

John turned his head to look at Zack. After that, he put away his phone. However, he didn’t answer the question. Therefore, Sophia couldn’t help feeling that the person who sent the message was a woman. Still, the fact that John was messaging somebody was a surprise to her. He generally advocated efficiency. So, he considered sending messages to be a time-consuming and laborious method of communication.

However, she later realized that perhaps some people had different habits when facing different people. When faced with certain people, he might consider messaging to be a waste of time. On the other hand, he might not consider it to be a waste of time when dealing with other people. Leaning against her chair, she smiled to herself.

As for Zack, he licked his back teeth and said nothing more. They waited for a long time for their food to come but none of them said a word. The current atmosphere was similar to when they were in the car. Drinking some water, John lifted his gaze to look at Sophia. Then, he seemed to recall something and said, “Take your medicine.”

Some of Sophia’s medicine were to be taken before meals. Thus, she was momentarily taken aback before making a non-committal sound in reply. She rarely remembered stuff like these. Slowly opening up her bag, she took out several types of medicine, then several pills of each type. Zack drew in a quick breath. “You have to take these many just before meals?”

She nodded. “Yup, I’ll be full by the time I’m done with these.”

However, John simply studied her medicine quietly. On the other hand, she swallowed her pills easily. She placed them all in her mouth and swallowed them in one go with some water. After finishing her medicine, she took a deep breath and glanced over at the kitchen. Surprisingly, John spoke up right then. “How long have you been having gastric problems?”

Sophia was stunned and glanced over at him. “At least ten years now.” When she first suffered from gastric problems, she wasn’t even an adult yet.

The man nodded but didn’t say anything else. After all, he knew all about Sophia’s family background. When his grandpa first asked him to marry Sophia, his grandpa had made everything clear. To be honest, even if his grandpa had not said anything, the Constance Family would have investigated Sophia’s entire background.

Finally, the owner served up the sashimi. Then, Sophia swallowed her drool. Seeing this, John frowned. Still, he could tell that she was salivating over the food. Thus, he simply said, “Don’t eat too much.”

Sophia swept her gaze over him and did not respond. However, Zack smiled and said, “Boss is just worried about you. He’s afraid…” When John calmly turned his gaze on Zack, the latter immediately fell silent, leaving his sentence trailing.

Once they started eating, there was no need to bother about whether or not the atmosphere was awkward. Thus, Sophia focused on eating. On the contrary, Zack would occasionally discuss some company affairs with John. He mainly asked about how the matter involving the Infinity Group would be

handled. He had already bought their return tickets for the day after tomorrow. Hence, he couldn’t just leave without knowing anything. No matter how he thought about it, he found it very hard to stomach the underhanded methods the Infinity Group had used this time around. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

However, John replied without looking at Zack, “You’ll know when the time comes.” In terms of giving an answer, the words he uttered were no better than if he had remained silent. As such, Zack became slightly upset and used a little more force than necessary when wielding his chopsticks.

Suddenly, Sophia remembered something. “By the way, I saw the woman who drugged you last night. She came to meet you.”

Upon hearing that, both John and Zack were taken aback. Thus, Zack turned to look at John. “She came to visit you again?”

John frowned in response. “Nope.”

Then, Sophia said, “I chased her away. Since I happened to notice her last night, I gave her a piece of my mind. She was so badly chastised that her face was flushed and pale at the same time.” Taking the time to glance at John, she continued, “It seems like she was sent over by President McCaw. I wonder what he meant by doing that.”
