Since they had already finished their discussion prior to eating, their meal was peaceful.
Sophia ate well, but Robert did not seem to have an appetite.
Deep inside, he knew that Sophia's words weren't wrong. She was only pointing out the issues politely,
and she was also protecting her own rights sensibly.
As such, many entrepreneurs did not truly wish to start their own businesses. They only wanted to use
the startup money to get rich quickly. It could be said that Sophia was already doing him a favor by not
lumping him with the likes of them.
“The dishes you chose are quite good,” Sophia said as she set down her fork. She looked at Robert
who sat opposite her. “It's quite easy to earn money on the internet these days. Countless apps are
being developed daily. However, not many manage to stay relevant. Negative press is one of the many
things you will have to encounter in the future. Rather than creating pages that provide fake data, you
should focus on improving the content and user experience. The ease of the user interface plays a big
part in a user's experience.”
Sophia rarely spoke at such lengths. She only elaborated because she had high hopes for Robert and
his team. They had a good foundation for their app, and their target audiences weren't just women or
young people. As such, it was an app that would be useful to society as a whole.
That was why Sophia had been optimistic about it. However, she had been extremely disappointed
when she learned about the team's falsified data.
Sophia did not like the fact that her money was spent on false data that only looked good on the
surface and was of no further use.
At the end of the day, she was unwilling to spend money only to suffer a deficit. She was a savvy
businesswoman who knew when to cut her losses.
“Ms. Yarrow, I'm really sorry for disappointing you. However, I must act shamelessly and beg you to
give us another chance. Our team consists of many young people. Thus, we were unable to act
maturely and appropriately in the face of setbacks. I promise there won't be a repeat of this incident
ever again. Please believe me.”
Sophia smiled. “I did not give you the chance. You were the ones who seized it with your own hands.”
With that, she glanced at Robert again before picking up her purse. “We still have four months left.
Let's call it a day for now. Lunch is on me since I made you wait so long.”
Sophia signaled at the waiter and paid for their meal by card.
She took out her phone as she exited the room. Just as she was about to call Yvonne, she suddenly
spotted Alexander as she looked up, much to her surprise.
Alexander was likely here to discuss a business deal. Next to him, Felix was clad in a suit and the latter
held a large dark-colored coat in his arm.
Sophia arched her eyebrow but looked away. She had no intentions of greeting him.
“Sophia.”
Alexander ended up being the one who came over instead.
Gripping the phone in her hand, Sophia raised her head. “Yes?”
She refused to greet him. Truth be told, she really did not want to talk to him.
Alexander furrowed his brows. “Were the blue roses not to your liking?”
Sophia feigned ignorance. “What blue roses?”
“The blue roses that you refused to accept earlier today.”
Upon hearing his words, Sophia was momentarily stunned. She quickly came back to her senses and
asked, “They were from you?”
“Yes.”
Alexander sank meaning into that single word. Despite that, his face remained expressionless as he
stared at her seriously with dark eyes.
Sophia frowned. “If I'm not mistaken, you sent the roses with the intention to woo me?”
“Yes, you are correct. I wish to pursue you.”
Alexander's expression did not flicker at all when he said the words. He could have said, “the weather
is lovely today” or “let's have lunch together,” and it would have made no difference.
Felix, who had been standing by the side, was impressed.
Apart from his boss, he had never seen someone pursue a woman with such methods before.
Felix was willing to bet a pack of spicy beef jerky. If Sophia agreed to Alexander's request, he would eat
the jerky on the spot!
Sophia pursed her lips after hearing Alexander's words. She looked at him with an unsmiling
expression. “My apologies, Mr. Xenos. I couldn't possibly accept. How would I, a pretentious and gold-
digging woman, be worthy of you?”
She paused for a moment before continuing, “Please don't send me any more flowers. I won't accept
them.”
Sophia retorted with the very words he had said to her.
With that, she turned around and walked away.
However, Alexander suddenly grabbed her wrist and refused to let her leave.
“Why?”
Sophia arched her eyebrow and tutted softly. “What do you mean, why? Ask yourself, not me.
Alexander, if my memory serves me right, I asked you the same question all those years ago.”
She had just gotten married to him back then. She had asked for his reasons when Alexander had
moved out of the Xenos residence and into his own apartment.
“Why?”
He had retorted, “Why? Sophia, are you worth it?”
Tsk, it had been many years since then. Yet, it's still fresh on my mind. The words had been
unforgettable.
Sophia wrenched her arm from his grasp. “Alexander, are you worthy of me?”
With that, she turned around and left.
This time, Alexander made no attempts to make her stay.
Sophia's five-centimeter-heel boots clacked loudly as she strode away. She tossed her long hair over
her shoulder.
It felt exceedingly great to throw back his words to him after all these years.
Alexander stood rooted to the spot. His face was thunderous.
Felix had seen the whole scene play out by the side. At that moment, he felt that his boss was terrifying
but also somewhat pitiful.
Alexander made his bed, and now he had to lay in it.
It was a pathetic sight.
You reap what you sow.
When Felix realized he had strayed off in his thoughts, he hurriedly pinched himself. He carefully went
over to Alexander and said, “Mr. Xenos, Ms. Yarrow has left.”
Alexander glared at him coldly. “I'm not blind.”
Poor Felix was speechless.
Alexander had an excellent memory. Hence, he, too, remembered what she had said all those years
ago.
Back then, he truly disliked Sophia. Therefore, he moved into his own apartment on the night of their
wedding.
Sophia came to him a month later. She asked him why he refused to stay with her, even though they
were a married couple.
“Sophia, do you think you're worthy of me?” was what he said to her back then.
Three years later, she threw the humiliating words back at him.
Alexander had been unable utter a single word.
Why was I such a fool?
Naturally, Alexander did not have an answer to that question.
He knew he had done many foolish things back then.
Alexander returned to the company in a foul mood. His demonic expression terrified all the workers
who encountered him.
However, there were some people who did not value their lives. The person in question was Samuel
Schild.
Samuel enjoyed riling Alexander up, and this time was no exception.
Brusquely, Alexander asked, “Are you free?”
Samuel, who loved gossip, momentarily did not sense Alexander's odd mood. “I'm all right. It's almost
time to get off work.”
Alexander loosened his necktie and laughed coldly. “Great. I haven't been to the boxing gym in some
time.”
Samuel's expression froze. “Alex, a gentleman uses his words and not his fists...”
“I have no qualms about raising my fist against you.”
Samuel was speechless.
