Chapter 230 Let's Wait and See
"We four can work together to kick his ass!"
Bard's words made Sophia laugh.
"Well, got it. Thank you!"
Now that her family had agreed, Sophia had no worries.
Then, they hung up and went on with their own work.
After dinner, Sophia went back to the company.
"Ready?"
Chloe came over with the document and said, "Yes, it's ready. Let's go!"
Arriving at the bidding room, the two of them saw Abby coming over, Chloe asked strangely, "Why do I
get a feeling that Ms. Pearce hates you? I don't remember there any feud between the two of you."
Sophia whispered to her ear and told her about last night.
Chloe was a straightforward person who immediately said, "So shameless!"
Her voice was so loud that a lot of people looked over.
Abby looked at her. "Miss, who were you calling shameless?"
"She's a smart person who knows herself. I was calling whoever has just answered me shameless."
Chloe was sharp-tonged.
Abby walked straight up to them.
Chloe was not afraid of her.
"Have I offended you, Miss?"
"You don't need to offend me. Don't you know what you yourself have done?"
Abby took a look at Sophia. "I admit that I do like Mr. Riley who is not married yet. How does liking a
single man make me shameless?"
"You know that he will only marry Sophia but still insist on seducing him. Doesn't that make you a
bitch?"
Abby smiled and did not respond. Instead, she looked at Sophia and said, "Ms. Lawson, is this your
demeanor? Although I have not known you well, but your bad manners have impressed me."
Chloe was unhappy upon hearing her words. Just as she was about to say something more, Sophia
stopped her.
"Ms. Pearce, this is my best friend and she has always been a hot-tempered person. I apologize on
behalf of her if she has said anything that offended you."
Clearly, she was defending Chloe.
Abby took a cold look at Chloe. "I will see you at the tender meeting."
"Okay! Think I'm afraid of you?" Chloe couldn't help saying.
"Well, Chloe, I know you are doing this for my sake, but don't ruin your image because of this," Sophia
said with a frown.
"Have I said anything wrong?"
Sophia suddenly laughed. "No."
There were many people in the bidding. Even Drake, Flynn and Bailey were here.
Zain Berry, the person in charge of the bidding, was the younger brother of Mr. Berry. As soon as he
appeared, he won everyone's attention.
"I am very grateful for the government who has entrusted me with the project. I believe that all of you
are familiar with what you are bidding for. Although I am Mr. Berry's brother, I will be an equal judge
here today and won't favor my brother."
"All of you have equal opportunities to compete. I'd like to be presented with each of your tenders and
make a fair choice. Now, let's get started!"
Flynn's company was the first. While Flynn was presenting, others nodded in compliment about his
tender.
Then it was Abby Pearce.
She got onto the stage with confidence.
"That's my tender."
Although everyone had come with a tender, they didn't mention their bid offer. However, everyone here
had had a general guess,
When Abby came down the stage, she took a look at Drake.
A lot of people noticed that she seemed to have a crush on Drake.
After Abby, it was Sophia's turn. When Sophia was about to walk up to the stage, Abby hit her shoulder
hard. "I'm sorry, Ms. Lawson!"
Drake had wanted to get up, but hearing Abby's apology, he stopped.
Everyone felt the tension.
Sophia steadied herself and smiled. "Since it was an intentional act, why apologize? It's so fake and
disgusting."
Wow!
If it were not for the fact that they were at a bidding meeting, everyone here would like to applaud.
Abby was a tough woman with a powerful aura, but Sophia had a stronger vibe than Abby.
Sophia then stood on the stage and stated her ideas. The confidence that she exuded attracted all the
present members.
If it weren't for the fact that she was Drake's beloved woman, the men here would like to pursue her.
Although Abby had tried to suppress her jealousy, she failed. She didn't want to admit it, but Sophia
was really an excellent woman.
After they each stated their tender, Zain walked out. "Alright now. I have seen all your tenders. Now,
ladies and gentlemen, let's have a short break before I make my final decision."
Drake was about to walk up to Sophia when he was stopped by Abby.
"Mr. Riley, I wonder if you have time later. Let's have lunch together!"
Everyone looked at them, as if watching a show.
"You have to ask my fiancée if she agrees."
Fiancée?
When did Drake have a fiancée? If he meant Cecelia, hadn't they broken off the engagement already?
Abby looked at Sophia. "You haven't been engaged, have you?"
Drake's eyes had been fixed on Sophia. "For some couples, engagements can be broken. Even if I
didn't announce my engagement to Sophia, we would end up being together forever."
Since Drake had said that, it meant he had admitted that Sophia and he were in a relationship now. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
"Sophia, do you have any time for lunch?"
"Since you have invited us, it would be impolite to reject you, Ms. Pearce. Let's go have lunch
together."
Abby's face darkened.
Chloe snickered in the back.
Bailey suddenly walked to her, "Chloe, you just like to see this kind of stuff, don't you?"
"How fun it is!"
"Fun? Will it be fun if I found you a rival in lov..."
Before his words were finished, Chloe gave him a warning gaze.
Alright! He didn't say anything!
"You don't want to invite me to lunch, Ms. Pearce?"
Abby was still with a long face. "Of course not. Since I have invited you, it's settled."
"You don't mind me bringing my assistant with me, do you?"
Though Sophia was pushing her luck, Abby managed a polite smile, "Of course not."
"Thank you, Ms. Pearce."
Sophia won again.
After Abby left, Drake walked up to her with a smile. "You are a tough opponent."
