“I’ve already arranged several new projects to replace the ones from Empire Group,” Elias said.
Sophia stared at him in shock.
He set his coffee down on the table.
“Centurion Hall won’t suffer any losses from those cancellations. Everything has already been handled.”
Sophia looked at him as if he had just descended from heaven.
“You… already fixed it?” she asked in disbelief. “Are you serious?”
Elias nodded calmly.
“Yes. Everything has been taken care of,” he said. “You don’t need to worry anymore.”
Sophia immediately slid her arm around his.
“Oh my God, you’re a lifesaver!” she exclaimed. “How are you this talented? You fixed everything in less than a day?! I didn’t even know you were working on it!”
Elias still had a faint smile on his face as he gently pulled his arm away from her grip.
Then he added casually, “Did Magnus really think Centurion Hall would collapse just because the Empire Group withdrew its support?”
“Yes!” Sophia said honestly.
She looked at him with wide eyes, almost like she had discovered a hero she didn’t know existed.
She grabbed his hand that was resting on the table.
“I can’t believe this,” she said excitedly. “You fixed everything so easily.”
She shook her head in disbelief.
“And here I was begging that arrogant monster to help Emma,” she added bitterly. “You solved the whole problem so easily!”
Sophia sighed deeply.
“I can’t believe I wasted my time begging him.”
Elias let out a short laugh. He gently patted Sophia’s hand and reassured her in a soft voice.
“Don’t worry,” he said in a soft, reassuring voice. “Everything is fine. I’ll take care of it. It’s not that big of a problem.”
Sophia smiled at him gratefully and nodded her head.
Neither of them noticed another figure entering the restaurant.
Magnus walked in through the glass doors, with Isabella following closely beside him.
Isabella was hurrying slightly to keep up with his long steps.
“Magnus, don’t worry,” she said softly as they walked inside. “I’ll take care of the documents Gregory asked for. I just need you to verify a few things.”
Magnus gave a brief nod.
They stepped further into the restaurant when Magnus suddenly came to a complete stop.
Isabella almost walked into him.
