The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 899

She coughed. “We figured that it would be merrier if everyone were to eat dinner together.”

William replied, “Oh, sure. I’ll head over after work.”

Matilda immediately hung up after that. Then, she started regretting what she did. What an embarrassment. Why did I blush? Why was I being so awkward and shy when I’m already at this age?

William chuckled lightly after he hung up. Even across the phone call, he could still sense Matilda’s awkwardness. In fact, he could even imagine her facial expression right then. That thought amused him greatly.

After placing his phone down, he continued reviewing his documents before getting his assistant to come over and instructed them on things to do so that he could leave.

By the time he finished arranging everything, it was already almost time for him to clock out.

After packing up his stuff, William went to John’s office and wanted to ask him if he wanted to leave together.

However, John had already left.

William didn’t think much about it as he figured that John was probably heading toward Logan’s place already, so he took the elevator and went downstairs.

After getting out of the elevator to the hall, William halted when he saw Yolanda sitting on the couch in the hall. It was obvious that she was waiting for him.

However, Yolanda didn’t notice William as she was busy looking at her phone, so William walked over to her. “Why did you come over?”

Yolanda’s head snapped up immediately before she smiled. “I was just passing by your company and I came over to wait for you since I figured that it was almost time for you to clock out. Let’s have dinner together.”

Without hesitation, William rejected her. “I can’t today since I’ve already promised Matilda to have dinner together.”

Yolanda paused. Although she tried her best to suppress it, her facial expression still changed as she nodded. “So, you’re meeting her?”

William grunted. “Yes. That’s why I won’t be able to have dinner with you today.”

When William stopped at the entrance of the doorway, he overheard Matilda speaking. “I’m slightly busy right now so I might not be free tonight.”

There was a pause as the person on the other end of the call was probably speaking before Matilda replied, “I’m not really sure about that as well. Let’s discuss this later on.”

From the way that Matilda spoke, it seemed like she was holding back by being polite. In fact, she sounded hesitant.

Suddenly, William thought of Richard, so he headed over toward Matilda and spoke up without lowering his voice. “What’s wrong? Who are you talking to? Let’s go eat dinner now.”

Immediately, Matilda froze and turned toward William while the man grinned with an innocent expression on his face.

However, Matilda wasn’t angry. She was simply taken aback. After glancing at William, she said into her phone, “I’m going for dinner now. We will discuss this later.”

Then, the call ended.
