Chapter 211 He Pestered Sophia
Chapter 211 He Pestered Sophia
"Miss Lawson, you are wise not to reconcile with him. You are single and free. Why don't you consider
me?"
"I wonder if you are free tonight. Shall we have dinner together?"
Sophia kept silent all the time. Finally, she answered, "Mr. Riley, I did receive your flowers, but I've
asked the cleaner to toss them into the trash can."
"Thank you for your kindness. I don't think I have the honor to dine with you tonight. I'm too busy. Bye."
She ended the call directly.
On the other end of the line, Roman was so furious that he almost smashed his phone.
"Bitch! If Drake hadn't liked you, or you hadn't been the daughter of the Lawson family, think I would
have pursued you? I'll gain your heart and dump you. Let's wait and see!"
Sophia put away her phone with a sneer. Before she sat down and continued to work, a man stood
before her.
"What's the..."
When she raised her head, she saw Drake.
They locked eyes.
Sophia was too surprised to utter a word, wondering if he had seen what had happened.
Somehow, she felt guilty.
Drake stared at her with a smile. Sophia was obsessed with his charming face.
"You accepted the bouquet upon hearing it was from Mr. Riley. After learning it wasn't from me, you
dumped it. Sophia, do you look forward to a bouquet from me?"
'Without doubt, he saw what had happened.'
"What are you talking about? I would also throw the flowers into the trash bin without hesitation if they
were from you."
"Really? Would you?" Drake asked as if he was confident that she would not.
"Why not?"
Sophia tried to keep calm and not let him see through her.
Drake, however, seemed to read her mind. Keeping a smile on his face, he fixated on her, which made
her nervous.
After a long while, Drake chuckled without saying a word.
Sophia couldn't understand what was on his mind. She just felt pretty uneasy.
Chloe carried another bouquet, entered the room, and broke the silence. "Sophia, Roman Riley didn't
give up. He sent another bouquet. He's pestering you."
However, Sophia didn't think this bouquet was from Roman, as the latter couldn't be so shameless.
She was sure it was from Drake.
Sophia looked up at him, only to find Drake was still smiling. Then he looked at Chloe and explained,
"It's from me."
Chloe was taken aback. Then she took the tumble and put down the bouquet. "Well, I'm too busy. Let
me leave you guys alone."
Sophia stood up, held the bouquet, and walked to the door to dump it.
However, Drake seemed to have known her purpose and dragged her arm to stop her.
"I dare you to throw them away."
Sophia wasn't that stubborn. While she put down the bouquet, she said, "All right. I won't throw it away.
I'll put it here and take it for a house plant. Since it was sent to me, I wouldn't mind watching it at work."
Drake was staring at her all the time. "Sophia, did you mind I'd never sent you flowers before?"
"That's all up to you. You can decide to send me flowers or not."
Sophia was intellectual, so she would never admit it.
However, Drake knew that women often said what they didn't mean. The more indifferent Sophia
looked, the more she actually minded it.
"I'm sorry, Sophia. I didn't know before. I'll make up for everything that I missed in the past."
Sophia sat back down. "If there's nothing else, you may leave now. I'm still busy."
"You are right. I got nothing else to do, so I would like to stay here for a while longer. Please go back to
your work."
Sophia ignored him as she was indeed busy.
Drake sat on the couch opposite Sophia's desk.
Instead of using his phone, he gazed at Sophia. This was the first time that he had watched her
working.
It was said men looked most handsome at work. In his opinion, Sophia looked extremely attractive at
work.
Six years ago, when they first met, Drake thought the naive, pure-minded little lady would suffer many
losses after she started working. However, he was willing to keep her home and fend for her.
He had never thought they would break up. Nor did he think about what Sophia had been through to
run so many companies simultaneously.
Drake imagined what would have happened if they hadn't broken up back then, lost in thought.
Sophia wouldn't feel anything if it were another man sitting in her office. However, it was Riley.
She was overwhelmed by the discomfort. Somehow, she felt hot all over her body.
She wanted to send him away but was afraid he would use it as evidence to convince her to reconcile
with him. Therefore, she kept silent.
Fortunately, Charles returned shortly after.
When he stepped into the office, he saw Drake at a single glimpse and asked, "Why is he here,
Sophia?" NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Before Sophia answered, Drake answered, "I was fired. I'm too idle, so I dropped in."
"Do you have fun here?" Charles asked hostilely.
"Yes, I do."
Charles was rendered wordless.
Sophia darted a glance at Drake helplessly. Drake was the cheekiest man she had ever seen. She
guessed that was also why he was so successful.
Ignoring Drake, she asked, "Have you finished handling your things, Charles?"
"Ehn. Done your work? Shall we have dinner together?"
"OK."
Sophia wished to leave her office long ago. If Drake kept gazing at her, she would definitely go nuts.
Drake stood up naturally. "I haven't had dinner yet. Let's go."
Charles gazed at him. "Did I ask you to join us?"
"I don't care. I'll go with you."
"What if I refuse?"
"Who will pay the bill if you refuse?"
"I don't lack money."
"I will still go with you."
Both Charles and Sophia were rendered speechless.
They were impressed by how shameless Drake could be.
No one could stop him, so he followed the Lawsons for dinner.
Edwin, Bard, and Helena joined them. This was the first time Drake had dinner with them all.
Suddenly, he felt he had been accepted by Sophia's family and friends.
However, Edwin and Bard were not happy about his appearance.
"Why is he here, Sophia?"
Drake chimed in, "They refused to let me join you, but I insisted."
