Chapter 31
Sophia turned off the rm and slept through until over ten o''clock the next morning.
She felt light-headed due to the hangover from drinkingst night. Hence, she woke up in a bad mood.
Yvonne was indeed the best secretary. The former had asked around and reckoned that Sophia would
have woken up at this hour. Her call came in right when Sophia just finished washing up.
“What''s the matter?” Sophia asked in a calm tone. Even though she was in a bad mood, she was not a
superior who liked to vent her emotions on her staff.
Despite that, Yvonne still answered very cautiously, “Ms. Yarrow, people from Midway Media would like
to meet you.”
“Let them dream of it then.”
Once Yvonne heard those words from Sophia, she could instantly tell that thetter was in a foul mood.
Therefore, she wisely shut her mouth. “All right. I won''t disturb you then.”
“Hmm,” Sophia grunted a reply and hung up. She then headed downstairs to have breakfast.
Meanwhile, in the office of Midway Media''s CEO, Samuel was in a good mood after seeing Alexander
humiliated the day before. At the thought of thetter''s reminder, Samuel had ordered his secretary to
contact the mysterious person, Suny of Sunshine Group, early in the morning.
Nevertheless, his had secretary warily reported to him a few moments ago, that Suny had refused to
meet him.
Samuel was rendered speechless.
He had never encountered someone as conceited as Suny before.
He made a wild guess that Suny was most likely a foreigner, who had no idea about the basic etiquette
in Chanaeans'' business world.
With such a thought in mind, even though Samuel was unhappy about it, he could only reluctantly
forgive the unappreciative Suny.
However, Samuel remained curious about the legendary Suny. Therefore, once he heard that there
would be things going on in Sunshine Group recently and that Suny would be attending the directors''
meeting as well, he did something extremely childish, which was to wait for Suny''s appearance.
It was indeed silly for the CEO of Midway Media to wait at the office building of anotherpany,
attempting toe across their chairwoman by luck.

Having nothing to do, Samuel called Alexander.
Alexander, who had juste out of the conference room, hang up Samuel''s call right away.
Nevertheless, Samuel continued calling him again and again. When he picked up the call, Samuel did
not give him any chance to blow a fuse. “Alex, guess where I am now?”
“Samuel, don''t you have anything else to do?”
Samuel automatically ignored his words. “I''m at Sunshine Group! They''re having a directors'' meeting
today. I''m sure I''ll be able to meet Suny now that I''ve resorted to waiting for her right here at her office
building.”
The corner of Alexander''s lips twitched slightly. He sneered, “You really have too much time on your
hands.”
Just as he finished, Samuel suddenly cursed and said, “Sh*t! Am I seeing things? Why is Sophia
here?”
Alexander''s expression instantly changed upon hearing the name. He held back the urge to hang up
the phone and asked, “What about her?”
Nevertheless, the call ended with a beep.
Samuel, you''re such a jerk!
Samuel immediately hung up the phone and got out of the car when he saw Sophia. He walked up to
her and greeted, “Ms. Yarrow, what a coincidence! It''s an honor to meet you in person, Suny.”
I see. So Sophia is Suny. No wonder she wants to sell the copyright of “Dreams” toary Media to
step on my nerves!
While Samuel thought he had figured out the truth, Sophia looked at him as though he was a fool. “Mr.
Schild, what nonsense are you talking about?”
The corner of Samuel''s mouth froze. “Aren''t you Suny? The chairwoman of Sunshine Group. You''ve
been hiding it well!”
While he sounded sarcastic, Sophia''s expression remained unchanged. “Well, if that''s what you think,
then there''s nothing I can do about it.”
She appeared overly indifferent, without revealing a single trace of awkwardness from being exposed.
In fact, she even looked at Samuel in a rather mocking way.
Samuel was instantly dumbfounded. “If you weren''t Suny, what''re you doing here today at Sunshine
Group''s high-level meeting?”
Sophia tutted. “Well, Mr. Schild, don''t you know what kind ofpany Sunshine Group is?”
Samuel could sense Sophia''s disdain. “Are you saying... that you''re nning to invest in Sunshine
Group?”
With her eyebrows raised, Sophia asked, “Can''t I?”
“S-Sure. You can.”
D*mn it! I''ve made a fool out of myself!
Rather abashed, Samuel tried toe up with ways to save himself from embarrassment. “Ahem. In
that case, did you get to see Suny?”
Sophia nodded. “Yes. Mr. Schild, do you want to meet Suny too?”
Samuel gritted his teeth. “I do. I haveve to see who on earth Suny is. I still haven''t managed to meet
her after requesting several times.”
Sophia pondered for a moment and looked at Samuel while replying with a straight face, “She is pretty
and has a nice personality. However, there''s a shoring with Suny. I heard that she''s someone who
fawns over good looks.”
She paused momentarily and nodded in feigned seriousness. “Since she''s refused to meet you several
times, it''s probably because your look isn''t to her liking.”
Even though Sophia said so tactfully, Samuel could understand that she was indirectly calling him ugly.
What''s going on? Why has Sophia be so cocky after getting divorced from Alexander?
Samuel felt a lump forming in his throat. Before he could find the words to retort Sophie, thetter
quickly said, “I have something on, so I''ll take my leave first. As far as I know, Suny hasn''t left yet. Mr.
Schild, you can continue waiting here. Who knows, you might be fortunate enough to run into her!”
Samuel was truly intrigued by Suny right now, so he did not bother haggling with Sophia for calling him
ugly. He believed he would be lucky enough to meet Suny.
“All right. You may leave first. Thanks!”
Sophia replied briskly, “No need to thank me.”
With that, she walked straight to the car not too far away.
Meanwhile, Yvonne, who was following behind Sophia, had been trying hard to hold back herughter.
She could not hold it in any longer and burst outughing once they got into the car.
Sophia tilted her head to look at Yvonne and smiled as well.
Yvonne was a call and rational secretary, after all. She resumed her usual elegance afterughing for a
few seconds and asked in concern, “Ms. Yarrow, will it be okay for you to lie to him like that?”
Sophia lifted a brow. “If he believes what I said, then he can only me it on his low IQ.”
Yvonne thought for a moment and nodded in ordance. “Well... Mr. Schild''s intelligence has indeed
exceeded my expectations.”
Sophia huffed in agreement.
“Ms. Yarrow, do you really n to keep it this way?”
Sophia pondered for a moment. “We''ll see. I don''t want to have everyone pestering me.”
Sophia could imagine themotion that would happen in Jadeborough once others came to know
that she was the chairperson of Sunshine Group.
Sophia and Yvonne soon got down to business after they were finished talking about personal matters.
Magic Sense, thepany which Sophia invested in under her name two months ago, hadunched
their first-generation app and started publicizing it over the inte, and the response was great. Once
its poprity among theizens grew, Magic Sense would then be able to develop the relevant
marketing feature as well as other rted functions.
It was undeniable that the foresight of Robert''s team was excellent. With Evil had made use of the
advantage of big data. By marking the position after analyzing the photos uploaded by its users, the
app could provide a friendly reminder to the users ordingly if any perpetrator appeared around them
next time.
Once the app garnered sufficient users and fell into ce, they could then develop the app by
expanding the types of services it provided, thus increasing the users'' dependency on it for daily
necessities.
Sophia was quite satisfied with that. “Keep your eyes on it.”
The greatest challenge for an investor was the amount of funding they should invest to further develop
a business.
Businesspeople could make the most out of the smallest amount of money, and the same applied to
Sophia.
With that, Yvonne nodded and got out of the car after the contract was signed.
Before leaving, Sophia nted her head to nce at Samuel, who was still waiting in his car. She could
not help but chuckle.
Pfft! I can''t believe there''s a fool like him by Alexander''s side.
