The actual person and the person in the photo don’t match at all! She practically photoshopped herself into an underaged girl! Moreover, she actually believes that’s how she looks!
On the other hand, Sophia only had eyes for the bigshot that was only one step away from becoming president of the country. Even if he failed to become the president, he’s still a very high-level bigshot!
Michael brought Sophia into the men’s social circle. Widening her eyes to look for the bigshot, she could immediately tell the man with the imposing aura apart from the crowd with a single glance.
The man was not that old; he was probably around Michael’s age. His back was straight and tall. His figure was dominating and his aura was extraordinary. Despite standing next to Harry, who relied on his looks in his career, he did not lose in any way. Rather, he had an air of maturity around him that came from the wisdom and experience he had accumulated over the years. Therefore, it made him stand out from the crowd.
Michael led Sophia over to the older man. The older man glanced at her without saying anything. Even so, his aura pressed down on her—so much so that she could barely breathe.
“Master Sam, this is my wife, Sophia Edwards.”
Although she didn’t know the identity of the man before her, he had to be very influential for Michael to address him as ‘Master’.
“Nice to meet you, Master Sam. My name is Sophia Edwards,” she said as she extended her hand toward him.
The older man reached out, and they shook hands.
Immersed in the joy of shaking hands with this bigshot, Sophia thought to herself, The Edwards Family annual meeting is truly on a whole other level! No wonder Judy always acts so stuck up whenever she attends the annual meeting! As expected of a bigshot—this bearing, this aura, this temperament… I need to become friends with more influential people. That way, I can pick up this powerful aura from them!
However, she failed to notice that two balls of flames suddenly ignited in the depths of the older man’s gaze. His heart that had remained calm for more than 20 years became turbulent at that moment.
“Hello, my name is Sam Edwards.” Outwardly, Sam looked calm and unaffected despite the surging emotions inside him. This girl looks like her… She looks exactly like her…
Faye and Judy stood by the side, observing them secretly. With their status, they had no right to even approach somebody as high-ranking as Sam. They could only get as close as they could to spy on them. Therefore, they noticed Sam’s expression when he looked at Sophia. Something is going on after all…
Meanwhile, Sophia handed her name card over to Sam. “Master Sam, this is my name card. Currently, my friends and I are working together to establish a gaming company. I hope to learn from you.”
Seeing that there were no changes in his gaze, she became very nervous. She was afraid that he might look down on her fledgling status and the meager company she established. To her surprise, he pursed his lips and asked, “What kind of games do you make?”
Sam is talking to me! Thus, she hurriedly answered, “We are an entrepreneurial team consisting of university students. So, our operating scale is not that huge yet. For now, we are producing several large-scale 3D online games and mobile games.”
He replied, “Not bad. Sunrise industries have a very promising future. Old men like us have much to learn from you youngsters.”
She’s so alike! Far too alike! When she isn’t moving, she looks similar. When she is moving, she looks even more similar! It’s as if she is a clone of that person! Even if that person has been gone for more than 20 years… I still remember the way that person smiled. At that moment, that person’s face was vivid in his mind. While speaking, he glanced at her name card. Ignoring the heavily photoshopped photo, her name ‘Sophia Edwards’ entered his vision.
Sophia… Sophia… Sophia Edwards! At that moment, it felt as if his heart had skipped a bit—so much so that he could barely breathe. Each letter of the name felt like fireballs burning into his eyes. I thought I had long forgotten that name. However, now that the person in question is standing in front of me, it feels as if I’ve met her before in another life!
