Next One Is a Babe Chapter 158

It didn’t seem as though there was any awkwardness on Ian’s part, for he outright asked, “Where’s

Sophia?”

Turning partly, John glanced out the office, but he didn’t see any sign of Sophia and Zack. Thus, he

answered, “She stepped out. Is anything the matter?”

Is anything the matter? After thinking for a moment, Ian said, “I’ll call her back later, then.” After saying

that, he hung up right away.

Holding Sophia’s cell phone, John stared at it for a long while before snorting indifferently. He must be

aware of my relationship with Sophia, else he wouldn’t have been so composed. Whoever places a call

only to be answered by the callee’s husband will be slightly discomfited, but not him. Besides, he felt

that Sophia must have told Ian that they were divorced judging from Ian’s interaction with her. She

really trusts him, huh? He then tossed the cell phone back onto the sofa without deleting the call

history.

He’d just returned to his desk and taken his seat when Sophia and Zack came back. Zack ordered

quite a lot of food, and the two of them laid out the food on the coffee table across the sofa. As Sophia

laid out the tableware, she urged John, “Come and eat. Hmm, you didn’t eat in the morning, so don’t

tell me you haven’t eaten anything until now?”

Stilling briefly, Zack stole a peek at her. Then, he exclaimed, “He didn’t eat breakfast? If so, he hasn’t

eaten anything until now. He’s been busy ever since he came. Ah well, he isn’t a robot, so his body

won’t be able to take it.”

Startled, Sophia scoffed, “So, he truly hasn’t eaten, huh? Well, is there a need to be so anxious just

because of a paltry matter?”

Zack was stunned, having not expected such a reaction from her, for he’d thought that she’d be a touch

concerned at least. After cautiously peeking at John, he breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that he

wasn’t affected in the least.

John waited until they’d set the table before coming over, taking a seat beside Zack. After taking a bite,

he said, “A friend of yours called earlier. He rang twice, so I took the call for you.”

Sophia murmured an acknowledgment. “Who called?”

John’s brows furrowed. “The caller ID was Ian Morgan.”

“Oh, him.” Sophia beamed. “I’ll call him back after eating.” If it were a single young lady wearing her

exuberant expression, one would even think that the caller was a lover.

As they began eating, no one said anything. Sophia wasn’t all that hungry now since she’d eaten a bit

with Ian earlier, so she was mainly picking the things she liked and taking a few bites. Then, she put

down her cutlery. “You guys eat. I’m going out to make a phone call.”

When she’d gone out, Zack groused in displeasure, “What the hell? She has just known him for a few

days, yet she’s this elated by a mere phone call?”

John chuckled. “Perhaps they just get along well.”

Zack curled his lips. “The Morgan Family isn’t comparable to the Constance Family, so it’s isn’t

worthwhile for Miss Gwendolyn to abandon you and find someone from the Morgan Family.”

John threw Zack a look. “There isn’t such a concept in love. Compatibility is the key.” After he’d said

this, he paused for two seconds before adding, “I’m incompatible with Sophia.”

Pursing his lips, Zack muttered after a long while, “What constitutes being compatible and vice versa?”

Well… John couldn’t quite answer this. At the end of the day, I’m just not compatible with Sophia in all

aspects. She isn’t the type of woman I want although I’m not sure what that is. Raising his head, he

gazed out a window on this side of the corridor and saw Sophia standing in the corridor, talking on the

phone. She was rather happy, her face wreathed in a smile, and he stared at her for a long time. If I just

have to name one aspect in which we’re compatible, then perhaps it’s only physical compatibility we

share.
