The Returning EX (John and Sophia)

Sophia tossed and turned the entire night as she couldn’t seem to sleep well. She was exhausted, but it felt like she only managed to fall asleep when it was nearly dawn. Once the skies turned bright, she woke up with her body feeling tired but her mind wide awake.

She stood up and walked to the window, where she glanced out to find the place quiet and empty, with no signs of any workers.

Everyone seemed to be especially active at night, so perhaps they were still in bed now. After looking out the window for a while, she went to wash up and pack her items.

Her phone rang when she was almost done with packing. She knew who it was before she even looked at her phone, but she went over and checked it anyway. As expected, it was Trevor. She picked his call up.

“Miss Gwendolyn, are you awake?” He sounded bubbly and upbeat, his voice coated with a hint of joy.

“I am,” she murmured. He then told her that he was already downstairs, to which she responded, “Hold on; I’ll be down in a minute.”

She was already done with most of her packing, so she simply grabbed her bag and left the room. She caught sight of Zack right as she was about to head to the elevator. He looked well-groomed and was heading toward the elevator as well.

However, Sophia wasn’t sure if John was in the elevator himself; she didn’t feel like seeing him right then. Her sleep had just been disturbed by thoughts of him—both before and after their marriage—and she felt a little displeased whenever she thought of him now. The memories she recalled were all unpleasant ones, after all.

She therefore slowed her footsteps down as she strolled bit by bit toward the elevator, hoping that she could just wait for the next one since she was in no hurry. Zack had already gone in, but he then stepped out of the elevator again as he grinned toward her and gestured for her to come over.
