After I left, the twin Alphas went crazy novel Chapter 178

One of them, a man in his early thirties with glasses and an easy smile, leaned forward and said, “Miss Sophia, your involvement will elevate this project. We promise full transparency—you can follow the progress anytime, even have a say in selecting the cast.”

“Actors?” I repeated, my tone neutral. I hadn’t given it much thought.

My main focus was the return on investment, not who would play which role.

“Yes,” he said with a nod. “We believe in collaboration. If there’s anyone specific you’d like to recommend, we’re open to your suggestions.”

I shook my head slightly.

“I don’t have anyone in mind. Frankly, I don’t care much about the names. Sometimes fresh faces bring more authenticity to a role than seasoned actors.”

The man exchanged a look with his team, their expressions tinged with approval.

The meeting flowed effortlessly after that, and Zoe and I stayed longer than planned, chatting about the project over coffee.

When everything was laid out, I decided not to waste time. “Zoe, let’s finalize this.”

She glanced at me, her lips curving into a knowing smile. “Straight to the point. I like it.”

The paperwork was swiftly arranged, and with a few signatures, the deal was done.

I felt good about this decision, like I had finally closed the chapter on yesterday’s frustration with Alina.

Back at the hotel, I had barely kicked off my shoes when my phone buzzed.

The caller ID flashed Alina’s name.

I debated ignoring it but curiosity got the better of me.

“Sophia,” Alina’s voice barked the moment I answered, her tone sharp and accusatory. “I heard you signed the investment with someone else?”

Her words were so forceful that I instinctively held the phone a little away from my ear.

“Excuse me?” I replied, baffled by her hostility.

“Didn’t you promise to invest in our company yesterday?”

she demanded, her voice rising.

“And now you’ve turned around and signed with someone else? What’s the meaning of this?”

I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Oh, that,” I said with deliberate slowness, drawing out the moment. “Didn’t you tell me yesterday that if I didn’t apologize, you’d make sure my investment went to waste? Why are you suddenly in such a rush now that I’ve taken my money elsewhere?”
