Felix watched Samuel enter the car before heading back upstairs.
Sophia was signing a document when she saw Felix returning. "What did you talk about with Mr.
Schild?"
Instead of hiding the truth, Felix informed her everything he told Samuel.
Sophia smiled. "Samuel may be a little hotheaded sometimes, but he's a good friend to Alexander."
Felix nodded in agreement. "Of course. I heard from Mr. Schild that they were already friends when
they were babies."
In response, she raised her eyebrow. "It sounds like they're almost like brothers."
Then she picked up her bag. "It's raining right now, and it's already half-past eleven. We should set off
for the hotel right now. It won't be nice if we're late."
"All right, Ms. Yarrow. I'll go and grab the files."
"Mhm," answered Sophia before lowering her sight and smirking at the picture on the phone. Whoever
took this picture clearly has ulterior motives. Even though Alexander has an easily recognizable face,
they managed to take a photo of him without including any of his distinct facial features.
Concurrently, Samuel was also staring at Alexander's picture. I still feel like I'm dreaming, but this
picture and the files in my hand are undeniable proof that I'm in reality. That man really is Alexander. I
have known him for thirty-three years. Even if he has plastic surgery, I'll still recognize him. Of course, I
didn't expect him to undergo one. If Sophia didn't tell me, I wouldn't have recognized him. Also, I'm
angry at the photographer who took this picture. While the side of Sophia's face was only visible in the
photo, those who had met her before would be able to recognize her. On the other hand, Alexander's
face was nearly entirely obscured. His head's lowered, so only his jawline can be clearly seen.
Additionally, his eyes are blocked by his hair, and I can barely make out part of his nose. I don't want to
admit it, but the photographer is pretty skilled.
He realized he was crying when he brushed his hand on his cheek.
It was only natural since he had known Alexander for more than three decades. Ever since they could
crawl, their grandfathers made them playmates. Even though he was a few months older than
Alexander, the latter was always the one helping him clean up his mess.
Before Beau passed away and before Zachary and Kristen moved into the Xenos residence, Samuel
always hid in Alexander's home whenever he did something wrong. His father would often chase after
him rowdily with a stick into the Xenos residence but could never find him.
Samuel was inseparable from Alexander during their time in school. Even after Alexander studied
overseas, Samuel would visit him once every month.
In other words, it was Samuel's first separation from Alexander for more than half a year. He almost
thought Alexander was gone.
Hence, after he learned Alexander was found alive, the emotions bottled up in his heart over the past
six months finally erupted. He allowed it to happen because he was alone in his car.
He thought it was embarrassing for a thirty-something-year-old single man to cry, so he stopped after a
few seconds. Swiftly, he contacted Charles and Justin to inform them of the news.
After starting a voice group chat, he immediately told them Alexander was still alive, astounding
Charles and Justin.
When Justin asked him for more details, he smugly explained the situation.
Once Samuel finished the tale, Charles, who had been silent, questioned, "So you really went to
confront Sophia?"
"I just got a little angry. That's all," answered Samuel.
Charles snorted. "You're an idiot."
Samuel was dumbstruck by his friend's words.
Just as he was going to retort Charles, Justin added, "You should think about how to apologize to
Sophia. Otherwise, you may spend six months in the ICU when Alex recovers his memory and learns
what you did."
Samuel was speechless for a moment before uttering, "Are you serious? Yes, I know I should've
listened to you two in the morning when you advised me not to confront Sophia, but we're buddies."
Charles remarked, "It's because we're buddies that we kindly offered you advice. Anyway, I need to
attend a meal now. Bye."
With that, Charles left the groupchat.
Justin did, too. Of course, before he left, he reminded Samuel to apologize to Sophia.
Fury and joy danced in Samuel's heart as he put away his phone. Overall, I'd say this is a happy day.
After all, I learned that Alexander is alive and well! Sure, he doesn't have his memory, but it's better
than him being dead.
When his train of thought ended there, his mood was lifted. After stacking the files neatly, he left
Odyssey in his car.
Meanwhile, Sophia and Felix arrived at the hotel two minutes past noon.
The moment she stepped into the private room, she apologized, "I'm sorry for making you wait, Mr.
Hofstadter. There was a traffic jam on the road."
Jonathan chuckled. "No need to apologize, Ms. Yarrow. You arrived just in time. I was the one who
reached here too early."
Smiling, Sophia set her coat aside and sat.
Due to her latest status, she wasn't a figure to be trifled with. Even if she wasn't in charge of Odyssey,
the fact that she was Sunshine Group's Suny meant that no one in the industry would dare to mess
with her.
While Jonathan was usually quite the playboy, he didn't dare to look at Sophia inappropriately.
The lunch proceeded smoothly. Both sides had already hammered out the details prior to the meeting.
Thus, they were only there to confirm all the details and sign the document.
As Sophia didn't drink wine, Jonathan didn't order any. It was just a typical lunch.
Less than an hour later, Sophia and Felix left the private room.
It was still raining outside. Sophia glanced at Felix and stated, "I need to use the restroom."
"All right, Ms. Yarrow. I'll wait for you at the entrance."
Sophia nodded, left Felix, and headed to the restroom.
At that point, many patrons were leaving after finishing their meals.
Therefore, when Sophia exited the restroom, she bumped into a group of people who had just left their
private room.
She glanced at the elevator and stopped. Since I can't enter the elevator, I may as well wait here
instead of with a group of strangers.
After a while, she headed to the central staircase. She was on the fourth floor, so reaching the bottom
wouldn't take her too long.
Upon taking a turn, she heard someone talking about her.
"I told you, didn't I? That Sophia has a new lover! It's only been a little over six months. I pity
Alexander."
"She's a winner in life already. Who can do better than her, the person in charge of Odyssey and the
chairman of Sunshine Group?"
"I wonder if she's responsible for what happened to Alexander when he went to Doveston with her.
After all, he seemed fine before their journey."
Just as Sophia planned to check out who was badmouthing her, someone was one step faster than
her.
