The Returning EX (John and Sophia)

Chapter 50

When Zack heard John’s evaluation of him, he hurriedly followed up, saying, “How am I being shallow?

Most girls are very likable as long as they have these characteristics!

If you don’t look for these characteristics in a girl, then what do you look for?” Then, he added, “To be

honest, Sophia is a pretty nice person. Don’t you find her very approachable?”

John took out his phone and looked up a number. Then, he sent out a message. At the same time, he

answered Zack, “I don’t. Is she?”

Zack mulled over it for a moment, then he sat down beside John. “Look; when Sophia walks by, how

many guys attempt to strike up a conversation with her or flirt with her? You can’t even tell from that?”

John’s hand paused for a moment and he nodded. That could be regarded as acquiescence to what

Zack said.

Wherever Sophia went, she was constantly hit on by guys. From when she was on the plane till she got

to the hotel—even the singer at that bar hit on her. How they could be so attracted to somebody they

just met was something he could never understand.

Zack observed John’s attitude. Then, he immediately continued talking, striking the iron while it was still

hot. “Well, it just means that you are the only one that finds her unappealing despite having her to

yourself. If a person like Sophia was out there, people would fight over themselves to get her.”

John chuckled audibly. “How much did she give you for you to praise her so highly?”

“I’m being honest! Look; why won’t you believe me?” Zack looked extremely serious.

Then, John lifted his head and looked at Zack, smiling and shaking his head without saying a word.

When Zack saw that John didn’t want to continue the conversation anymore, he pursed his lips and

found it difficult to continue the conversation too.

After John sent out his message, he put his phone down. Right now, he couldn’t even bear to look at

those documents anymore. Even so, it seemed like he had nothing else to do. Glancing about, he said,

“We won’t be able to work with the Infinity Group anymore. Check the flight tickets; let’s go back.”

Zack paused, staring at John. “Are we just going to let Infinity Group off the hook? They played us! If it

wasn’t for Sophia, you’d have lost your reputation!”

Turning around to look at Zack, John’s expression became stern. Zack probably touched on a topic he

didn’t want to talk about.

Thus, Zack hurriedly drew back and explained himself in a small voice, “I was just being truthful! That

woman was so ugly too! How can you not care?!”

John replied somewhat ambiguously, “We’ll see.”

Upon hearing what John said, Zack more or less understood what was going on. After all, he had

worked with John for so many years now. Whenever John spoke in that manner, it meant he had

already made up his mind.

Thus, Zack breathed out in relief and smiled. “Alright, I got it.” After saying that, he seemed to realize

something and looked toward John again. “Still, we’re already here! Are we going to go back without

even doing some sight-seeing?”

When they went out on business trips previously, they would occasionally take the opportunity to go

sight-seeing for a day or two. Now that they had arrived at such a nice place, it would be a pity if they

didn’t stay to play for a bit.

John frowned and seemed to consider what Zack said. Following that, he replied, “Why don’t we stay

on for another two days before heading back?”

“Awesome!” Zack seemed jubilant. Standing up, he said, “So, why don’t we start relaxing today?” After

that, he continued without waiting for a response from John, “There’s a swimming pool on the third

floor.

Do you want to go and check it out? Since it’s inconvenient to go outside right now, this place shouldn’t This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

be a bad choice either.”

Initially, John had no intention of going out. However, he turned around and looked around his room—it

didn’t seem like there was anything for him to do in the room either. Thus, he nodded after considering

it briefly. “Okay.”

Everything that was prepared in the room was complete. Moreover, the swimsuits were brand-new too.

Afterward, Zack went back to his room to take his swimsuit and brought John’s swimsuit along with him

while he was at it. Then, they went to the swimming pool.

As it was too hot outside, there were more people at the swimming pool than usual. After John and

Zack got changed, they went inside. At a glance, there were a lot of people there.

Although the swimming pool was large and split into several smaller swimming pools, most of the

swimming pools were filled with people.

John wasn’t a fan of crowded areas; he preferred quiet places. Upon entering the place, he stood by

the door, glancing at each swimming pool.

He only managed to look at a few before Zack leaned over and whispered, “Boss, is there a problem

with my eyes?”

John looked at him.

Then, Zack pointed in a direction. “Look; that person standing over there. Isn’t that Sophia?”
