#139 “All Right Then, Woo Me.”

Sophia and Alexander had traveled in a taxi to Lisa’s restaurant.

“They kidnapped me because I had decided to help them by putting them in touch with a lawyer friend of mine,” Sophia explained during the ride.

Alexander pulled her close, and she wearily rested her head on his shoulder.

“Sandro told me,” Alexander remarked. “And to be honest, I wasn’t at all surprised that you suggested it.”

Sophia smiled sweetly at him.

“I was going to ask you for something when we got there,” Sophia continued.

“Anything,” Alexander replied, kissing her forehead.

“Lisa’s food is great, but this Daniel has ruined her business and driven away most of the customers,” Sophia began. “I’m sure she would have been very happy if you had written something nice about the place on your social media.”

Alexander laughed and nodded.

“You didn’t even have to ask me for that, Sophie,” he told her gently.

The taxi stopped in front of the restaurant, and Sophia was about to pay the driver when Alexander overtook her. She frowned and glanced at him.

“Don’t you dare,” Alexander said as he left a hefty tip for the driver. The two got out of the taxi and headed towards the entrance.

“And what now, Mr. Stone? You’re going to pay for everything?” Sophia raised an eyebrow quizzically.

“Yes, and it is not subject to discussion. Let me be a gentleman,” he replied to her.

“I can pay for myself.”

“I have no doubt, Sophia. You can turn the whole world around on your own, but I wanted to be gentle with you. I wanted to woo you. Let me take care of you, not because you can’t do it alone, but because I wanted to be your peace of mind.”
