"I don't mean to discourage your passion... but, may I speak something that is a little bit harsher? I hope you don't mind?" the old man paused and his tone become cautious.
Sofia shook her head ad replied, "Not at all. I'm all ears, sir."
"Ehem! I can clearly see the spark in your eyes, young lady. It's the same glow of enthusiasm back when me and my wife started to sell cakes. I'm glad to see a young talent joining the business industry!" the old man started softly.
"Thank you for the compliments. We just want to try and see how far our success could go," Sofia earnestly said while looking at the elder couple with a friendly gaze.
"Listen here, okay? I have been in this industry for so long. And we are quite successful. So, I must tell you this. Ahhm, consider this like a fatherly words or an elder giving you some speech," the old man continued.
