“Do you think he'll succeed?”
Charles glanced at Alexander, who raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Samuel not far away.
“Fifty-fifty.”
Charles grinned. “You're quite optimistic about him.”
Alexander withdrew his gaze. “There's no denying that he has a good face.”
“That's true.”
However, the handsome Samuel was deeply regretful. This pretty lady could've been anyone in the
world. Why did it have to be Sophia?
Sophia finished a round and was planning to rest. When she turned her head, she saw that Samuel
had appeared beside her without her knowing.
“Hey there, Sophia.”
She unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle and tilted her head to take a sip before looking at
him. “What a coincidence, Mr. Schild.”
Her tone was indifferent. It was clear that she had not wanted to run into him there.
Samuel looked back. He could not see Charles' and the others' expressions because of the distance,
but he could guess.
No, I can't admit defeat!
“Are you playing alone?”
Sophia looked at him with a vague smile. “Of course not. Can't you see the other person playing with
me?”
It's obvious that I'm playing alone, yet he's asking that meaningless question. Jeez.
Samuel chuckled sheepishly. “There are a few of us. Would you like to join us?”
“I don't like crowds.”
“Alex is here today too. Aren't you going to go over to say hello?”
Sophia gave him a look and raised her eyebrows. “Isn't it more appropriate if I don't say hello to
Alexander?”
“No, I mean, we saw you playing earlier and thought you were quite good. Charlize is a horrible player.
Why don't you teach her?”
Sophia glanced at the caddy who came back from picking up the ball. “Thanks. Let's take a break.”
Then she turned back to Samuel. “Thanks, but I don't know how to teach others. The golf course has
people who specialize in teaching. I believe Mr. Johnson should know better than I do.”
Sophia was clearly adamant. Samuel could not persuade her at all.
However, he was rather thick-skinned.
He threw caution to the wind and said, “I'll be honest with you. I made a bet with them.”
After he finally confessed, Sophia looked at him and laughed. “I could tell.”
“But you—”
Was she deliberately teasing me earlier?
Sophia knew what he was thinking. “You're overthinking, Mr. Schild. I'm just not a helpful person.”
All the words that came out of her mouth were words of rejection, but he asked doggedly, “Is there
really no room for negotiation?”
“What did you bet on?”
Samuel told her everything.
Sophia clicked her tongue. “How interesting. It's quite like something that you would come up with, Mr.
Schild.”
For a moment, Samuel could not tell if she was complimenting or belittling him. “Come play with us,
yeah? Think of it as doing me a favor. I'll return it to you next time!”
Sophia raised her brows at his words, and her eyes curved up. “I won't help you, but if you're willing to
give up the copyright for Silk Stream to Specter Entertainment, I don't mind going over there with you.”
The smile on Samuel's face instantly disappeared. “How did you know that we bought the rights for Silk
Stream?”
Midway Media had only won the copyright for Silk Stream last Thursday. No one knew about it except
him and the manager of the copyright department. The fact that Sophia knew about it was not a trivial
matter.
“We also approached the author of Silk Stream, but the other party refused to let go of it no matter what
price we offered.”
Money was something that everyone wanted, but the author was unmoved no matter how much was
offered. The only explanation was that the copyright was no longer in their hands.
Samuel looked at her and could not help but admire how calculative she was.
He gritted his teeth and said, “I can't possibly give you the copyright for Silk Stream, but if you're willing
to accept, I can give you fifteen percent of it.”
Sophia knew that she was basically committing a daylight robbery. Samuel would be an idiot if he really
agreed to hand over the rights.
I just wanted a share of the pie. Samuel is already very generous to offer me fifteen percent of it.
Midway Media won't skimp on money during the development phase. Even if I throw some money into
the project, it's guaranteed to rake in profits.
“Sure. I look forward to working with you, Mr. Schild.”
“Likewise!”
Samuel reached out to shake Sophia's hand.
Sophia smiled a little and looked back at the caddy. “Let's go over there.”
Samuel did not expect that he would lose tens of millions by making a bet.
He finally reacted when they were halfway there. “Sophia, you did it on purpose, didn't you?”
Sophia cocked her head to look at him. “Are you having regrets? We haven't gone over yet, so I can
turn back if you regret it.”
Then she turned around to walk away.
Samuel knew that she was a woman of her word and was afraid that she would back out on their deal.
He hurriedly said, “I'm not regretting it! I just wanted to ask you if you were really planning on getting
the copyright of Silk Stream.”
It was only now that he realized that he had taken her bait.
Sophia gave him a side glance. “Do you want to hear the truth or lie?”
“The truth, of course.”
Sophia laughed at his words. “Then I'll tell you the truth. I never wanted the copyrights of Silk Stream.”
Samuel was speechless.
Sure enough, the truth hurt. It was another day of him being brutally tricked by others.
While speaking, they arrived in front of Alexander and Charles.
Alexander's expression obviously shifted for a moment when he saw the woman. “Sophia?”
Sophia looked at him and nodded graciously. “What a coincidence, Mr. Xenos, Mr. Johnson, Ms.
Johnson.”
Charlize was also very surprised to see Sophia. “Ms. Yarrow, it's you.”
When Samuel saw their surprised faces, he felt that the tens of millions he lost were worth it. He looked
at Charles smugly. “I've invited her over. Are you willing to accept your loss?”
Charles glanced at him. “A bet is a bet.”
Samuel raised his brows and was just about to say something when Charles dragged him to the side.
“What are you doing?”
Charles gestured him to look at Alexander. “Do you want to be the third wheel?”
Samuel thought about it and shook his head. “Nope.”
He wouldn't dare.
Charles and Samuel stood to the side, and Charlize also tacitly followed them.
They walked a couple of meters away, leaving Alexander and Sophia together on the other side.
“I thought you weren't free during the weekends?”
Sophia did not feel embarrassed at being exposed. “Yes, I made plans to play golf.”
Alexander looked into her charming eyes. There was a ripple in his heart. “Your golf skills are quite
good.”
“They're average.”
“How about a match?”
Sophia had just finished playing a round and had rested for a few minutes. After thinking about it, she
said, “Sure.”
She was in a good mood, having just made tens of millions.
“Shall we make a bet?”
Alexander tilted his head to finish the bottle of mineral water in his hand before looking at her.
Sophia raised her brows. “What do you want to bet on, Mr. Xenos?”
“Tonight's dinner.”
“And if you lose?”
“You can ask for anything you want.”
“Anything I want?”
“Yeah,” he answered crisply. He was sure that she would not make a request that would embarrass
him.
Sophia smiled. “Sure. If you lose, you'll have to go with Mr. Johnson, wait at the entrance of the course,
and kiss the second person who walks out.”
Alexander was speechless.
Samuel really is full of bad ideas!
