#19 “It All Makes Sense Now.”
“I’m certain now that Alexander will transfer his deposit into Emily’s business,” Benjamin remarks as Sophia closes the door to her office, seeking comfort in the familiar surroundings.
Feeling a sense of reassurance in her sanctuary, Sophia settles herself and replies, “I agree. StoneTech Companies holds great significance for Alexander, so it’s no surprise he’s investing all his money there. But why?”
As they both find their places on the couch, Benjamin offers Sophia a glass of water and continues, “During the flight, I did some research. The Stones and the Williams have been family friends for generations. Their relationship runs deep.”
Sophia lets out a sigh, her memory triggered.
“Yes, he mentioned something about that when I first met Emily. Alexander offered her a position in his company as a way to give her a head start, to protect her,” I think were the words he used.”
Benjamin nods in agreement. “That may be true, but let me tell you, Sophia, while Alexander Stone is undoubtedly powerful, his family and even Emily’s family hold far greater influence. They are well-guarded by strong family alliances.”
A flicker of worry crosses Sophia’s face, catching Benjamin’s attention. He despises seeing her frightened and instinctively wraps his arm around her for support. Sophia briefly relishes in his comfort before sitting up again, determined. “I have to crack this puzzle.”
Meeting her gaze with sincerity, Benjamin assures her, “Sophia, I promise to assist you and do my best to shield you from Alexander’s harassment for as long as I’m in town.”
