Revenge On My First Love

Chapter 227 PDA

"Are there a lot of men at dinner? Sophia, you should stay away from such occasions from now on,"

said Drake in a masterful manner.

"You mean, from now on, the Riley Group will be in charge of keeping my companies alive?"

"Sophia, I did not mean that. You might be taken advantage of on such an occasion. Don't you know?"

"Now everyone knows that you are my protector. No one would be bold enough to lay a finger on me."

"Not necessarily. What if there is?"

Drake hated to see Sophia dine with other men.

"So, you think I'm not tough enough to protect myself?"

It was true that Sophia was a tough woman.

But that was not what Drake was worried about.

"Drake."

Suddenly, Sophia called his name seriously.

Drake felt the seriousness in Sophia's voice.

"If you want our relationship to work, you should respect me. Let me do what I want to do and don't

stop me. Otherwise, you should not show your face to me from now on."

Drake didn't know what to say.

Sophia was no longer the pushover she used to be. Now she would do what she thought was the right

thing to do.

"Got it. Call me if you need me."

Sophia nodded.

Hanging up the phone, Sophia got into the car and drove to the restaurant where the dinner party was

held.

When she arrived, some people had been waiting. Sophia walked in with confident steps and Mr. Berry,

the initiator of the dinner, immediately stood up and said with a smile.

"Ms. Lawson, it's my great honor to have you here. Please take a seat."

Sophia came over. Seeing Drake here, she was somewhat surprised. They exchanged looks.

Mr. Berry, as a sophisticated man, immediately said, "Oh, my apologies. I didn't tell you the attendees

because I was afraid you might not come so as not to bump into each other."

"I have made a lot of efforts to get you two in the same room with us. You wouldn't mind, Ms. Lawson,

would you?"

Sophia came to herself. "Of course not."

She sat down next to Drake.

Others were stunned for a moment and Mr. Berry laughed. "I knew you wouldn't mind it for the greater

good. Alright. Since everyone's here, waiter!"

The waiters came over one by one to serve the dishes.

When Mr. Berry was about to pour alcohol into Sophia's cup, Drake stopped him. "She's a woman. She

shouldn't drink."

Everyone else was stunned.

Sophia smiled. "Why can't women drink? There can be no special cases at a business dinner. Fill my

glass."

In others' eyes, tensions between Sophia and Drake seemed to be growing.

As far as they knew, Sophia and Drake used to date. Although Drake had said that he would marry no

one else but Sophia, there was no news that they had got back together. Therefore, in their eyes,

Drake was being nice to Sophia, but Sophia didn't care about Drake at all.

Mr. Berry smiled and said, "Mr. Riley, one glass of alcohol is harmless."

Drake did not speak. He had been staring at Sophia, as if implying that he didn't allow her to drink.

Sophia said to Mr. Berry without looking at him, with a smile, "Fill my glass!"

Mr. Berry immediately poured alcohol into Sophia's glass. However, he could sense that Drake had

been staring daggers at him. He got a chill down his spine and only filled half of Sophia's glass before

he stopped.

Putting down the bottle, Mr. Berry raised his glass, "I'd like to propose a toast to all of you. Thank you

for joining my dinner party."

Sophia held up her glass and drank it.

Because it was liquor, she didn't drink much.

Mr. Berry hurriedly said, "Try the dishes here. They are delicious."

Sophia was about to eat when Drake picked food for her and put it into her plate.

"You love fish. Try the fish here. It's really good.

They all knew Drake but had never seen him pick up food for anyone.

If they didn't see it with their own eyes, they would find it unbelievable.

Mr. Berry said with a smile, "Ms. Lawson, Mr. Riley is so considerate! We had been thinking about what

Mr. Riley would look like if he had a girlfriend, and now we know. He's so thoughtful in love."

Sophia took a look at Drake, "Mr. Riley is indeed a considerate person."

Drake picked up some food for Sophia again.

However, Sophia noticed that a woman had been looking at her with disdain.

Sophia knew this woman. She was one of the few female entrepreneurs in Sealand. Her last name was

Pearce. Obviously, she liked Drake.

When eating, Drake had been picking up food for Sophia, which made others surprised.

When Drake said he was going to the bathroom, Mr. Berry hurriedly smiled and said, "Ms. Lawson, we

have never seen Mr. Riley being so gentle to anyone else. Are you really not going to date him?"

Sophia smiled. "I believe in fate. If he and I are destined together, we will be. If not, I can't force myself

to be with him."

Everyone nodded and agreed.

Sophia then said she wanted to go to the ladies' room before leaving the private box.

Little had she expected to see such a scene—

Abby Pearce stood in front of Drake and said, "Mr. Riley, I can see that Ms. Lawson has been

indifferent to you. In that case, why do you have to be hung up on her?"

"I know the reason you said to the public that you would be waiting for her all your life. You were trying

to protect her, right?"

"A man like you is a real man. I think a man like you deserves someone better. Mr. Riley, you should

know me, I suppose."

"Although my company is not as big as Ms. Lawson's, it is growing. If you think I'm not bad, why not

consider dating me, Mr. Riley?"

Drake's eyes fell on Sophia. Seeing a playful smile on her lips, he couldn't help smiling faintly.

But as Abby saw it, his smile meant he was thinking about it.

And Drake's smile was so attractive. It made Abby even more determined to get him.

"Ms. Pearce, you really think I'm that good?"

Abby smiled. "You are the Prince Charming in the hearts of women in not only Sealand but also the

whole country. However, few women deserve you."
