She had googled the chess rankings and saw Mitch's photo. With her memory, if she saw someone in a photo, she could recognize that person at once.
Mitch was happy to meet someone who could communicate with him. He looked happy and said to Sophia, "Miss, can you change my money?"
Sophia shook her head, "No. I don't have much money on me. You can just go to a bank nearby to exchange!"
She glanced at what Mitch had in his hand. It was just a bottle of water. She said to the cashier, "I can pay for it!"
The cashier relaxed, took the soy sauce in Sophia's hand, and checked it out with the water in Mitch's hand. She paid and gave the water to Mitch, "Here you go!"
Mitch took the water and handed some money to Sophia, "Thanks. This is for you!"
Sophia didn't take the money. A bottle of water was not even worth a dollar. But the money in Mitch's hand was one hundred euros. She didn't want to take advantage of this foreigner.
"No, no, really."
