Sophia was wearing a casual dress as she walked alongside Alexander. The two of them looked like a
university couple on vacation.
Many people couldn't help but stare at them when they walked out of the elevator because of their
attractive looks.
Some even thought they were actors filming a scene for a drama. However, after waiting for a while,
and Sophia and Alexander had already walked away, the onlookers realized they were just two good-
looking people after not seeing a film crew.
Sophia hadn't played billiards in years. Katherine used to enjoy playing it when they were in junior high.
As a result, Sophia, Katherine, and Joshua would always gather at the shop behind the school and buy
a bottle of drink. Then, they would play billiards until it was time to go home for dinner.
Sophia and Katherine were gorgeous, and the shopkeeper developed a liking for them. Although the
three of them only spent around three dollars, many students came to the shop to buy snacks to catch
a glimpse of Sophia and Katherine, inadvertently boosting the shop's business. The shopkeeper even
offered them free drinks to encourage them to continue playing billiards there.
Joshua's family was not well-off, so he often had to help his classmates with their homework to earn
five dollars per subject. There were a few wealthy and academically challenged students in their school
who would always ask Joshua to do their homework.
After school, Joshua would be at the side, working on his classmates' homework while Sophia and
Katherine played billiards.
However, Katherine's billiards skills were terrible, causing Sophia to feel as though she was playing
with a child.
“What are you thinking about?”
Alexander's voice brought Sophia back to reality.
She collected her thoughts and smiled at Alexander. “I was just reminiscing about the times when
Katherine and I used to play billiards together.”
Over ten years had passed in the blink of an eye, and all three of them had achieved success in their
own ways.
Alexander chalked his cue stick and asked, “When did you learn how to play?”
“In junior high.”
Alexander glanced at her, and his gaze softened. “Precious, your skills must be quite impressive.”
They were the only ones left in the billiards room, but it was still a public space. However, Sophia still
couldn't help but blush when she heard Alexander call her “Precious.”
She quickly composed herself and smiled. “Not too bad.”
“How about a match between us?” Alexander suggested.
Sophia cast a glance at him and raised a brow. “Do you want to place a bet?”
“Yes.”
“What should we bet on?”
“If I lose, I will take you home after dinner. If you lose, we'll pick up Mr. Dawson together tomorrow.”
Sophia clicked her tongue. “You're rather bold, aren't you?”
He was openly abducting her in the Dawson family's territory without fear that Perrin would tear him
into pieces the next day.
“One needs to be adventurous in life sometimes.”
He paused and added, “The hotel bed is uncomfortable to sleep on. I had trouble sleeping last night,
but I wouldn't be if I was holding you.”
Sophia lowered her head and looked at the colorful balls, and her smile deepened. “Sure.”
He might not win against me, anyway.
Katherine's skills were terrible, therefore, accentuating Sophia's billiards skills. The adults playing at the
adjacent tables would play with Sophia frequently, improving her skills.
By the time they were in their third year of junior high, many people knew that Sophia was good at
playing billiards and came to challenge her.
Sophia felt it was annoying, so she mentioned that whoever lost had to pay her a hundred.
This statement did scare off many people who weren't confident in their skills, but there were still
people who thought that the rumors were exaggerated and challenged Sophia.
At that time, Sophia's allowance was only a hundred per month. To avoid losing all her allowance, she
even watched videos of international billiards matches.
Sophia's sharp memory and excellent psychomotor skills made her a fast learner. She was able to
learn these techniques after practicing them a few times.
Sophia was able to win more than three thousand from these billiards matches. Of course, she did lose
before. However, her billiards skills were still extraordinary, considering the fact that she only lost two
matches after playing around forty games.
Later on, more and more people came to challenge Sophia, and even billiards clubs went up to her
door and tried recruiting her.
Sophia was afraid that it would disturb her family. She didn't need the money, so she played against
Joshua and lost all three games.
After that, Joshua no longer needed to help his classmates with his homework since it was not
worthwhile when he could earn a hundred playing billiards for half an hour. It would take him more than
three hours to earn fifty by doing his classmates' homework.
Later, Joshua's reputation overshadowed Sophia's, and fewer people went to challenge her. She finally
had peace of mind.
Of course, Alexander didn't know about these things since he didn't ask.
Half an hour later, Sophia looked at Alexander and said, “You won.”
“Yes, I did.”
Alexander put down his cue stick and walked to her side. He lowered his head and gave her a kiss.
“What do you want to eat tonight?”
At this moment, a group of people walked in.
Sophia blushed crimson and looked up at him. “Let's eat in this hotel. I heard their signature dish is
pretty good.”
The group that walked in consisted of three men and two women. They were all dressed in luxury
brand clothing, probably from affluent backgrounds.
Since there were only Sophia and Alexander in the billiards room, they instinctively looked at the two
when they walked in.
Sophia's back was facing them, so the group didn't get a glimpse at her face. However, Alexander was
facing them. When the two women saw Alexander, they exchanged glances and started whispering
while staring at him.
The three men quickly averted their gaze and stopped looking at them.
The two women's scrutinizing gazes were too obvious, causing Sophia to move closer to Alexander.
Sophia and Alexander were standing so close to each other that it seemed Alexander was holding her
in his arms. It was evident they were a couple.
Despite that, a woman in a racy outfit still walked over and uttered, “Sorry to bother you guys.”
Sophia glanced at Alexander and smiled at the woman who came over. “Do you need something?”
Erika Moore finally got a clear look at Sophia's face. When she saw Sophia's appearance, she was
stunned for a moment but quickly recovered and raised her hand to play with her long hair. “We're not
very good at playing billiards. We saw you guys outside, and you guys seemed really good. Can you
teach us?”
Sophia didn't say anything. Instead, she looked up at Alexander.
Alexander replied coldly, “Sorry, we can't.”
“Oh. Sorry for bothering you guys.”
Erika glanced at the woman. She had been smiling the whole time throughout the whole interaction.
Feeling inexplicably nervous, Erika quickly turned and headed back to her group.
As soon as she got back, Jasmine Blaese pulled her and questioned, “How was it?”
Erika shook her head. “They are a couple. The man is too cold!”
Remus Cobb interjected, “The girl is so pretty! Is she a celebrity?”
Jasmine glared at her. “There's no one like her in the entertainment industry.”
Sophia glanced at the time and realized it was already past five. She didn't want to stay here any
longer, so she asked, “Should we head back now?”
Alexander agreed, annoyed that the men in the group kept looking their way.
The two put down their cue sticks and prepared to leave.
One of the men called out, “Hey. Are you guys not playing anymore?”
Sophia glanced at Alexander, and they both tacitly decided not to respond. They simply held hands and
left.
