De Silva was sweating and didn't know how to respond. After a long while, he asked, "What do you want now? Do you want that notebook?"
"No! I'm not interested in immortality. I just want to grow old naturally. Just give Sophia to me."
"She's not an object. How can I give her to you?"
"Break up with her, and I'll take care of the rest myself."
"Why? If you really want to meet a girl, I can introduce you to one. Why do you have to compete with me for Sophia?"
While the two were arguing, Alena came over, "Brothers, what are you two talking about?" The two brothers shut up at the same time. De Silva smiled and said, "Alena, why are you here?"
"Mom asked me to call you to have breakfast." Alena is taller than her two brothers. She has a model-like figure, long golden hair, and a beautiful face.
"Alena, what kind of job are you going to find after you return home?" De Silva asked, changing the subject.
"I haven't decided yet. I plan to take a break before I decide."
"Mom's company needs people. You can try!"
"She mentioned to me that she also hopes that I can take over the family business, but she is afraid that you two and my father will disagree." Alena said with a smile, and her eyes were fixed on De Silva's reaction. "Will Miles disagree? Why?"
"He is mainly afraid that you will object. This is the company passed down by your grandfather." De Silva's company specializes in a product called "Reel Anti-wrinkle and Anti-aging Skin Care Products". This is a skin care product invented by his grandfather Ronnie, and it has very good sales. Their family relies on this product to have their current life. The De Silva brothers are not interested in skin care products and think they are women's things. Nicola is getting older and older, and she plans to hand over the company to the next generation.
"I won't object, what about you?" De Silva turned to Afastin.
Afastin didn't say anything, just shook his head. "Do you agree or not?" De Silva asked again.
"I hope Sophia will take over my mother's job."
"Sophia? Who is Sophia?" Alena had long forgotten the woman she had only met last night.
"You saw her at the party last night. She is my girlfriend." De Silva explained.
Alena suddenly realized, then frowned slightly, and said to Afastin very dissatisfiedly, "I am your sister, but you support an outsider instead of me."
Although she is his girlfriend, De Silva also thinks that Nicola is right, and he does not want an outsider to interfere in family affairs. He nodded, "Forget about Sophia, our mother will not agree."
Sophia runs a flower shop in the small town of Burano, two kilometers away from De Silva's home. The conversation in the morning made Afastin more determined to pursue Sophia. He felt that De Silva did not love this woman, at least not as deeply as he did. He dressed up on purpose, shaved his face clean, and held flowers in his hands. He forgot that the girl he was going to meet today was the one who ran the flower shop. Standing at the door of the flower shop, he smoothed his collar, took a deep breath, and kept comforting himself in his heart, "Don't be nervous, I just happened to pass by." After entering, there was only one customer in the store, and Sophia was introducing the varieties of flowers to the other party. He could only stand aside and wait. After five minutes, she finally sent the customer away. Sophia walked towards him, and Afastin took a few steps forward and introduced himself, "My name is Afastin, I am De Silva's twin brother, we have met twice."
"Are you also 27 years old?" Sophia looked at the face of this middle-aged man with a look of disbelief. "No, I'm 40 years old this year." Afastin told the truth. "Then how can you and De Silva be twins?" Sophia became more and more confused. "You should ask De Silva, he will explain it to you." After Sophia knew the information, she was no longer in the mood to chat. She hurriedly closed the store and prepared to find De Silva to ask clearly. Afastin volunteered, "Take my car!"
The two got in the car and drove straight to the villa by the lake. De Silva was very surprised to see them together. Just as he was about to ask, Sophia spoke first, "Have you been lying to me?"
When De Silva heard this question, he knew that Afastin had betrayed him, and he told everything in one go. When Sophia saw a round bald head appear in front of her, she was immediately furious, and there was only a clear sound of "slap". She waved her hand and slapped De Silva, then turned around and covered her face and ran away. "Wait for me!" Afastin shouted anxiously and followed quickly. At this time, De Silva stood there like a wooden chicken. After a long time, he touched his cheek and said to himself, "Finally freed, it's really tiring to lie to people." In the following days, Afastin launched a fierce pursuit of Sophia. Chasing girls requires money, and he has no job, so he has to ask his mother for it, "How much do you need?" Nicola asked.
"Three hundred thousand shillings." Afastin demanded exorbitantly. He may not know that his younger brother De Silva's monthly salary as a professor is less than two thousand shillings. "What do you want to do? Why do you want so much money?"
"I want to buy a sports car for Sophia."
Afastin has never been in love until he is 40 years old. Nicola thought for a moment and agreed. Alena was very dissatisfied when she knew it. She only spent more than 20,000 shillings in three years of studying abroad. She found Nicola and said, "Mom, you can't spoil him like this. He is an adult. Can't he make money by himself?"
When Afastin drove a luxury sports car in front of Sophia, she shouted happily, "Are you really going to give it to me?"
"Of course, this is what I picked for you personally. It can be fully automatic. It is the latest model this year."
"It must be very expensive, right?" Sophia asked, pointing at the car.
"Don't worry about this. I have plenty of money." Afastin straightened his back proudly.
In the past, Afastin could not say two words in three days. Since he got a girlfriend, he suddenly became eloquent and made Sophia tremble from time to time. De Silva saw this and thought sadly, "Their relationship is progressing really fast."
Nicola saw that the two got along so well and felt that she had done the right thing and that the money was well spent. She was most worried about Afastin before. After the two had been dating for more than a month, Sophia said to Afastin, "My store's business is getting worse and worse, and I can't hold on any longer."
"Then you can go to my mother's company, which is very suitable for you. It makes skin care products."
"But I don't know anything, what can I do?" Sophia asked with bright eyes. Afastin said, "You don't have to do anything, just sit there, I will arrange it."
Sophia blushed and asked, "How much does your company pay me a month?" Afastin has been spending his family's money since he was a child, and he has no idea about the income of each industry. In order to show his ability, he held up five fingers, "Five thousand?"
"No, it's fifty thousand." Afastin corrected.
