Sophia sighed speechlessly. That one time she fell ill, he happened to be there. He insisted on feeding her, and he had been dwelling on this incident for several years.
With a sense of helplessness, she picked up the serving chopsticks, grabbed a piece of Kung Pao chicken, and lifted it into mid–air:
“Ah–”
Owen couldn’t eat spicy food.
But he didn’t realize what it was at all.
He arrogantly raised his eyebrows, his eyes sparkling with a bright light, and swallowed it down graciously.
Afterwards, he/she was so spicy that his/her face turned red and he/she was panting, unable to speak.
Sophia succeeded and couldn’t help but laugh.
This cheerful and dazzling scene when seen through the eyes of others, became a different matter.

Pierce exuded a cold, gloomy aura all over his body.
The gaze, dark and cold, was fixed on the two people by the window.
The towering rage inside was almost too overwhelming to suppress.
How could this woman manage to seduce him one moment, and then chat and laugh with a young gigolo the next?
The customer next to him took a look, but didn’t recognize who
it was.
Just felt that this scene was very harmonious and beautiful.
He chuckled and said:
The young couples nowadays really know how to have fun, always sticking together as if they can’t bear to be apart for even a day. My daughter is just like that.
“By the way, Mr. Clement, how old was your child?”
The male customer had heard long ago that Pierce was married, it was impossible for him not to have children after all this time.
As soon as the question was asked.

Just watched as Pierce’s face suddenly changed.
His eyes darkened in an instant, subconsciously looking towards the woman sitting not far away.
Autumn water trimmed her pupils, as brilliant as the proud sun.
A dense wave of pain surged through his heart, causing him a moment of suffocation.
He remembered everything that Kasen had said.
They once had a child, but the child was gone.
After he lost his memory, he knew nothing, but at this moment, this kind of pain came so fiercely and directly.
It caught him off guard.
He had forgotten, but the pain remained, his body’s physiological instinct still remembered for him.
The male customer noticed something was off about him. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Pierce suddenly stand up and walk out.
He paused for a few seconds before he stood up and left.

After Sophia and Owen finished joking around, they glanced at a spot not far away, which was completely empty.
She smiled nonchalantly, looking at Owen:
“Did you have a satisfactory day today? When are you going back to work?”
Owen raised an eyebrow, “When the old man got anxious, he sent me back.”
Sophia nodded, took a sip of water, and pulled out that card from her bag:
“Take the card, give it back to me later.”
Owen laughed, revealing his clean, white teeth, his smile was hearty:
“Alright, I have it. You thought I was completely broke? The old man’s reputation is still useful. The penalty for breach of contract was even waived. I have enough money.”
Sophia didn’t stand on ceremony either, she took it back again.
“Alright, come find me again when you run out.”

They grew up together since childhood, but their pocket money was always fixed, no one could spend it recklessly. Their family was strict, if someone spent too much, they would turn to another person for help.
This was as ordinary as it could get.
Sophia paid the bill in the past.
The waiter politely said:
“Just now, our boss said he would give you a free order.”
“Your boss?”
Sophia was surprised, she didn’t know the owner of this store, she looked at Owen.
Owen was even more clueless.
The shop hadn’t been open for long, but it was frequented by the rich and affluent. The owner behind it was mysterious and extremely wealthy, and it was said that no one had ever seen him.
Just for a moment, a person flashed through her mind.
She pursed her lips, her eyes growing colder.

“Thank you.”
She wasn’t exactly rich with nowhere to spend her money, she wouldn’t come again in the future
She said so and then walked out.
Owen noticed her sudden unhappiness and immediately went after her:
“Could it be that the mysterious boss was my fervent fan? So they purposely gave us a free meal?”
Sophia couldn’t help but look at him, thinking that even a fool has his advantages.
The resentment in her heart dissipated, she looked at the store across the street, raising an eyebrow:
“Since I wasn’t able to treat you to a meal, let’s use this money to buy you a gift instead!”
Owen watched her happily sway her hips as she entered the luxury store.
He touched his head, tentatively asking:

“Did you really want to hire me?”
It wasn’t that it couldn’t be done.
Sophia didn’t hear his words, she chose a sapphire blue button for him, and compared it on his body:
“Did you like it?”
She didn’t wait for Owen’s response and directly handed it to the waiter:
“Wrap it up.”
Owen: “……
That generous and extravagant demeanor, it looked more like a rich woman taking her son out for a stroll.
The waiter went to settle the bill with utmost respect.
Owen was carrying her bag in one hand and the gift she bought in the other, trailing behind her. The more he looked, the more awkward it seemed.
The waiter’s gaze must have been even more awkward just now!

He pursed his lips, letting out a frivolous laugh:
“Didn’t you think I was like a little puppy?”
Handsome and nurturing!
Sophia gave him a skeptical look, immediately shaking her head in denial:
“You didn’t resemble, you resembled an Erha, a middle–aged Erha.”
Not too young, but stupid enough.
Owen: “……‘
He got angry!
There was something to do in the afternoon.
Sophia returned to the company.
Aylen didn’t forget to feed Lucky for her.
When she went back, Lucky was lying in the doghouse, belly exposed, comfortably basking in the sun and sleeping.

Sophia chuckled before she started preparing for the Codepath Tech project.
Although this project seemed to require a large initial investment, the income was shared with two other parties, which didn’t seem quite worth it.
However, in the long run, this was a vital link in holding the lifeline of Codepath Tech.
Because artificial intelligence had reached a certain height, taking one more step forward meant breaking through limitations and seizing the market’s initiative.
If the Cruise Group had abandoned this project, it would have been eliminated from the market or even disappeared in ten or twenty years.
So she would absolutely not give up.
Sophia found Lydia’s number and called, but no one answered.
She pulled out WeChat, typed a few lines and sent them, but there was no response.
A slight sinking feeling settled in Sophia’s heart.
If Lydia couldn’t make it here, she would have to go find Pierce.

But what if Lydia and Pierce had made arrangements?
She was somewhat irritable.
She felt that seeing Pierce at that restaurant at noon had affected her mood.
The afternoon meeting was held as usual.
Frank appeared in the meeting room, catching everyone by surprise.
However, when Sophia came in, the enthusiasm with which he voluntarily stood up to pull out a chair for her instantly explained the reason for his existence.
Thinking about that apology letter, it simply became the laughing stock of the entire company.
You should know, before this, Frank was the project director with the best prospects, the biggest temper, and the most advantages in the company.
He was most concerned about saving face.
Yet he could bend down, put aside his pride, making people feel both admiration and disdain.

The other people who didn’t come to the meeting in the morning had also all arrived.
It was only after they saw Frank’s letter of self–criticism that they realized how serious the consequences were.
They were afraid that Sophia would settle accounts after Autumn.
Sat there trembling with fear.
Sophia glanced over, speaking softly to Aylen, saying:
“Let’s begin.”
Frank had mentally prepared himself thoroughly, and in front of so many people, he read his self–criticism again, even adding, “I hope everyone takes me as a warning!”
