Chapter 578 The Scene Was Chaotic
She blurted out, her eyes wide with disbelief, and immediately ran to Benjamin, excitedly exclaiming, "Oh my god! You're still alive!"
Alex, standing by, didn't have time to stop his girlfriend's actions. Hearing Sofia utter that name, he felt helpless.
He hadn't had a chance to tell Sofia something about Benjamin.
Who could have expected this encounter?
Although Sofia was carefree and outspoken, she quickly realized that things became awkwardly silent after she mentioned Antonio's name.
Sarah also felt embarrassed, wanting to dig her toes into the ground. She instinctively glanced at the man's serious face, then slightly panicked and quickly approached Sofia, pulling her aside and whispering, "You made a mistake, Sophia! He's not Antonio... really not."
Benjamin's calm gaze swept across the two women in front of him, with a slight crease in his brow.
He heard the names they mentioned, and a strange feeling quickly passed through his mind.
So Antonio was Sarah's husband's name.
The name she couldn't forget.
These three words crossed Benjamin's mind, causing a ripple.
Isabella Moore watched their reactions from the side, puzzled and confused.
Why did they not find it surprising that this lady mistook someone?
She felt like she had missed some important information but couldn't remember it for the moment.
Sofia Harris, still filled with doubt, continued to stare at him. No matter how she looked at it, this man looked exactly like Antonio!
Benjamin met her gaze without avoiding it and said, "Miss, my last name is Harrington."
The man's voice had a magnetic tone, almost like an electric current. Sarah quickly pulled on Sofia Harris from behind, then smiled. "This is the CEO of Harrington Group, Mr. Harrington, and his fiancée, Miss Moore."
After lowering her voice, she leaned closer to Sofia Harris. "He just looks a lot like Antonio, but it's really not him!"
Sofia Harris's clothes were still being tugged at from behind, but she managed to gather herself. However, she was still quite surprised and kept her mouth open for a while. How could there be two people that looked so alike in the world? Although this man had a scar at the corner of his eye, unlike Antonio, everything else was as if they were cut from the same mold! Anyone who knew Antonio would definitely mistake him!
Sofia Harris bit her lip and was about to say something, but Alex stopped her. "Take it easy."
She instinctively turned her head.
Alex smiled apologetically at Benjamin, then pulled Sofia Harris aside and briefly explained Benjamin's situation, sighing silently. "Since Sarah has already mentioned it, you can ask her later if you have any questions. For now, it's better not to ask her face-to-face to avoid making things difficult for her, okay?"
Sofia Harris thought about it and agreed. Sarah was definitely already feeling very uncomfortable, and asking more questions would only make the situation worse.
"I understand." She nodded at Alex. "Then, can we invite them to have a meal together?"
Alex looked helpless but ultimately agreed. Sofia Harris immediately turned her head and smiled at Benjamin and Isabella Moore. "I'm really sorry; my eyesight isn't very good, and I made a mistake! But since everyone knows each other, why don't we have a meal together? It'll be livelier with more people."
Sarah hadn't expected her to make such a suggestion. She turned her head and looked at Benjamin. To be honest, with this man's unpredictable temper, Sarah felt that he definitely wouldn't be pleased. Even Isabella Moore thought the same.
But Benjamin raised an eyebrow nonchalantly. "Since that's the case, let's eat together."
Everyone was somewhat surprised except for Sofia Harris, who seemed at ease. She raised her hand and instructed the waiter next to her, "Excuse me, could you please cancel the table we reserved and upgrade the private room they reserved to a slightly larger one?"
She then gave the waiter their names.
"Alright, please wait a moment."
Led by the waiter, they all entered a large private room. After they took their seats, the waiter removed the extra chairs and poured water into the glasses. Unknowingly, the atmosphere in the enclosed space became more subtle.
Sarah was sitting in the middle of the five people, and luckily, Sofia Harris was sitting next to her, which somewhat comforted her anxious heart.
"Since Mr. Harrington has been abroad all this time, why did he suddenly think of the capital's development?" Sofia Harris asked, looking straight at him.
Benjamin casually picked up his glass of water and took a sip. "The domestic economy is doing well, and Harrington Group also intends to expand from the south to the north. I came here to explore the path."
"Oh..." Sofia Harris exclaimed with a meaningful tone. The rising intonation seemed intentional. "So that's how it is!"
Sarah was horrified, afraid that she would say something even more inappropriate, so she quickly pulled her under the table. "Have you ordered the food? Shall we order first?"
"Of course we have!" Sofia Harris had just finished speaking when the private room door sounded again, and the waiter began serving the dishes.
Sofia Harris exclaimed, "You see, not only does this restaurant taste good, but their efficiency is also very high. Later, you can take a look, and if there's anything else you want to eat, we can order it again."
Sarah breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.
The dishes they were eating were not the main focus. The main thing was to temporarily shift Sofia Harris' attention away from Benjamin. Otherwise, with her personality, she would find ways to get to the bottom of things.
But what Sarah didn't expect was that as they started eating, she was once again sandwiched in the middle.
On the left, Isabella Moore was always serving Benjamin, her soft voice attentive to every detail.
On the right, Alex was peeling shrimp for Sofia Harris, being meticulous. Even the bones were removed from the ribs before putting them in her plate.
Sarah sat alone in the middle, feeling lonely.
Sarah tried to keep a low profile, not glancing around and focusing all her attention on the food on the table.
But no matter how much she ignored it, the voices beside her still reached her ears.
Especially Isabella Moore's gentle words, and although the man's voice was soft, he would still respond.
Sarah suddenly put down her fork.
