The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Instead of going down right away, Sophia leaned against the window to watch for a bit. They would need a lot of preparation time for this banquet, making it pointless to go now. But first, Sophia took a few selfies and posted it on her Facebook.

She smiled brightly for the photo, and her braids looked cuter than ever. Sophia was in her prime after all, so there was no need to turn on any filters, for she was naturally beautiful. She stared at her photo for a moment before turning it off.

The photo was posted despite her knowing nobody would see it, for she didn’t have a friend list anyway. All the people on her friend list were the Constances, though she wondered if they had unfriended her.

She kept on watching until night had fully descended, and the noise had escalated. Now, she stretched herself fully and went out at her own pace.

The banquet had started when she arrived. There was even a stage the management set up for their customers. There were already people dancing on the stage, while everyone else cheered.

Tables were set around the place, decked out with snacks and wine. Sophia went around to see if there was a spot for her, but everywhere was full. She wasn’t in a rush though, so Sophia sauntered.

When the staff noticed her, he came up and said, “Are you alone, miss? Here’s a seat for you.” He pointed at a table.
