Sophia tiredly looks around the room for Benjamin. It has been a long evening, and she is ready to return to her apartment, have a glass of red wine, and snuggle up in bed. Not seeing Benjamin, she orders another glass of champagne from the bar and takes the corner seat."Hello," a voice says from a man taking the seat next to her. "I would offer to buy your drink, but these shindigs with their open bar really damage my pick-up lines." The man laughs, obviously delighted with his joke.Sophia turns to him, offers a polite but dismissive smile, and pulls out her phone to check emails.The man does not take the hint and continues, "You don't need to be intimidated. I am just like any other guy.""Excuse me?" Sophia questions.Moving closer to Sophia, the man chuckles, "Yes, I am THAT Davis Reeceman.""Who?" Sophia asks, feigning ignorance.

Do you play?"He chuckles softly. "No, but I have spent a great deal of time in Prague, which I am sure you know is where the Smetana Hall is."Sophia nods, impressed that he knows the prestigious classical music festivals held there. "Yes, I've attended some of those concerts before," she admits.Their conversation flows, and time flies by as they talk about music and their shared fondness for classical performances.

With a polite nod, she refrains from probing further or pushing for more information.Alexander takes a moment to reflect, seemingly contemplating his choice of words about Michael. However, as he begins to speak, his words flow resolutely. "Let me be clear, Michael is far from being a kind individual," he confesses, his words deliberate and unwavering. "We harbor unresolved conflicts from our history. I strongly advise you to keep your distance from him." Recognizing the potential impact of his authoritative delivery, he swiftly interjects, "To put it mildly, I strongly urge you to stay away from him. Believe me when I say it is genuinely in your best interest."Sophia shifts her attention from the road to Alexander, offering him a reassuring smile. However, deep down, she knows she won't be heeding his advice. He is

I will not say a word to anyone."Sophia nods her head in acknowledgment, but the apprehension still lingers in her eyes. As she starts to turn her gaze out the window, Alexander presses on. "Look, I know that you don't like me. That's very obvious."Shifting back to face him, Sophia holds his gaze, her expression guarded. She remains silent, waiting for him to continue."Well, at least you're not denying it," Alexander remarks softly. "Can you at least tell me what I did to deserve such distaste from you?"Sophia chuckles, a mix of exasperation and amusement in her voice. "Are you serious?" she asks incredulously."Yes," Alexander replies sincerely. "I feel like I deserve an explanation for all the animosity."Sophia takes a moment to collect her thoughts before responding, her tone becoming more assertive. "You know that Evelyn Crimms is my best friend," she

Sophia appeared on the screen, doing her best to evade the reporters. As usual, her posture was straight, and she displayed no signs of concern.
