After stopping her car at the entrance of Bailey Corporation, Matilda walked into a restaurant across the street instead of entering the company.
Sitting by the window, she stared at the entrance of Bailey Corporation.
Then, she called Isabelle, who connected the call quickly and inquired in a clear voice, “Mrs. Constance, yes?”
Matilda replied smilingly, “Belle, are you free now? I want to meet up with you.”
To which Isabelle said, “Ah, now? I’m a little busy currently. What’s wrong? Is there anything urgent?”
“Well, it’s nothing important. I just want to talk to you.” Matilda said with a smile, “We have not met each other for a few days, so I miss you very much.”
Helpless, Isabelle sighed. “Mrs. Constance, I’ve been swamped recently. There’s a problem with the supply side, so I have to work overtime every day. It’s really taking a toll on
me. Don’t worry. When I become less busy, I’ll look for you and have a chat with you.”
Isabelle had always been careful with her words.
Having nothing else to say, Matilda sighed and grunted. “Alright, please continue with your work. It’s not like I’m not facing any problem currently, so I guess we’ll meet up
when you’re free.”
After hanging up the call, she stayed there until the employees of Bailey Corporation got off work in the afternoon.
To her disappointment, she didn’t see Isabelle.

Until all the employees were gone, Isabelle was still nowhere to be seen.
Matilda heaved a sigh of relief. She must still be in the company and working overtime. It seems that she’s really busy recently.
Meanwhile, Sophia closed the shop temporarily in the afternoon and took a rest with Robin. Just then, the door was opened.
Robin hurriedly said, “Sorry, we—”
Startled for a moment, she grinned. “Mr. Constance, why are you here?”
John flashed a gentle smile at her. “Even you’re asking me this question now.”
Seated by the window, Sophia never looked at him.
Robin smirked before replying, “Well, I didn’t mean any harm.”
John directly took a seat across Sophia. “I’m here to have a taste of your food. Please give me a suggestion as I don’t know what to eat in the afternoon.”
Learning the reason he dropped by, Sophia slowly turned to him. “Your mom came here this morning and told me to contact you. I believe she wants to meet you.”
Upon being informed of the matter, John couldn’t help but grunt. “I knew she’d look for you.”
Sophia snorted. “I’m not on good terms with your mom, so it was really weird that she came to look for me.”
Without uttering a word, John smiled.
Matilda would do whatever it took when she had no choice. She knew that if Sophia called John, he would certainly come over, so she came to look for Sophia.
After making a cup of coffee for John, Robin also gave him a piece of cake.
Coming from the company, John didn’t have any appetite, but he still politely ate the food. He then said, “I heard that you’re going to attend the dinner party at Blackwell
Residence.”
Healing the man’s question, Sophia replied, “Madam Blackwell came over to invite me personally, so I couldn’t reject her.”
Seemingly understanding, John nodded. “As a big family, there’s bound to be internal strife within the Blackwell Family, so you have to be careful with your words and don’t
speak too much. If you don’t know what to say, just flash a smile.”
Sophia scoffed. “I don’t need you to teach me this. I understand it full well.”
She had learned to read the expressions of others at Constance Residence previously.
When John was done with his lunch, he returned to his company.
After John’s car was out of sight, Robin asked, “Did Mr. Constance come all the way here just to have a cup of coffee and a piece of cake?”
