Sofia took a deep breath as she read the comments online. Who would have thought that her grandmother would one day face

these comments? Luckily, it seemed like her grandmother didn’t mind it at all. Sofia glanced at the older woman who was sitting

to her.

Both of them were now preparing for Sofia’s birthday event. While Sofia’s makeup artist was doing her hair. Eulanda was doing

her makeup. She had her eyes closed while listening to a podcast.

“Stop staring at me or | would melt.” Eulanda uttered, her voice still calm.

“The news about you are you not concerned about it?”

“Why would ” Eulanda opened one of her eyes. “Doesn’t matter...” she uttered. “Do you truly think that the opinions of those

people matter to me?”

Sofia pursed her lips. It is not about other people’s opinions that worries her. It was the opinion of the shareholders.

“Why can’t you just enjoy your day?” Eulanda said, smiling. “Whoever released that news wanted to ruin your day, and it seems

that it was affecting you. Besides... today is your birthday and the one who will escort you later was still not here.....

Sofia looked at her reflection. In fact, she was already getting worried as Alexander had yet to inform her of his arrival time. She

let out a sigh.

“Don't tell me you have not received any updates from him?” Euanda asked. In response, Sofia shook her head.

“Then call him!” Eulanda said.

Actually, Sofia had debated if she would call Alexander. She did not want to impose too much on him. To Sofia, the man has

helped her a lot. He was running a business empire yet he had always been there for her. She felt like she had yet to show him

her sincerity.

Naturally, she knew he was only doing this for the shares, but sti

Alexander doesn’t actually need those shares to secure his position. She felt like their transaction was no longer fair to Alexander

at all.

Luckily, her grandmother did not pry anymore, and Karina arrived for her very own makeup and hair styling. Karina, Sofia, and

Eulanda will be arriving at the venue together.

“Happy birthday...” Karina beamed the moment she walked in. Then she handed her a small box. “Open it tonight. After the

party.”

“Thank you... you didn’t have to-

Besides was not a part of his responsibility at all.

Son enough, the trio arrived at the venue of the event, and justas they expected, those who were invited were already there

waiting for them

The venue was super fancy, like those places you see in movies. Everything was all black and gold, shiny and sparkling The

walls were draped in these classy fabrics, and fancy chandeliers were hanging from the ceiling. The atmosphere was rather

posh, something that she already expected as her grandmother personally involved herself in this event.

In the muddle of the room there was this massive cake, standing six feet tall It was all decked out in black and gold too.

utching the theme On top of the cake, there were 26 candles all lit up, making it look like a birthday dream.

The tables were all set with fancy black and gold tablecloths, and there were these cool centerpieces that looked like golden

sculptures The whole place had this vibe like. Wow I’m in some ritzy party

As Sofia walked in, she couldn't help but feel a bit overwhelmed by how extravagant everything was. It was like stepping into a

whole different world. People were already there, chatting and happing on fancy drinks, all dressed up to the tunes.

Seeing this, she tried to shake off the disappointment about Alexander not being there yet and decided to focus on enjoying her

birthday bash. After all, it wasn’t every day you turned 26 and had a cake towering over you like a skyscraper

“Congratulations on your birthday, Miss Lockhart, an older gentleman who she knew was her grandmother’s friend. Mr. Rames,

smiled at him

“Mr. Rames it is a pleasure to see you again” Sofia smiled. She had met the older man in passing when she was younger.

However, since she was not that close to her grandmother, she did not have any intention of getting close to her grandmother’s

contacts.

However, tonight is different.

Sofia had the intention of enjoying the night and knowing a lot of people

“Rames it is a pleasure to see you again” Eulanda united. She was standing next to Sofia, and since they arrived, she had been

introducing a few people to her-something that Sofia was very thankful for

“You look dashing as always. Mr. Rames said “Ah, this is my grandson, Leandro Rames. He is going to be the future of Rames

Corporation.”

Sofa blinked Leo was tall man with black hair and browneves. He is definitely someone that could become an actor by today’s

standards but for some reason, she found him not as good-looking as Alexander.

The fact that she was ently comparing this man to Alexander made her horrified. However, just before she could accept Lis offer:
