Chapter 231 She Kissed Him
Sophia glared at him. "Stop seducing women!"
Drake shrugged. "I didn't do anything!"
"Your face is captivating!"
Drake touched his cheek and said innocently, "What could I do about it? I was born handsome. Didn't
you fall in love with me because of it?"
Flynn got goosebumps. "Drake, can you stop being so cheesy?"
"Stay away from us if you can't stand it!"
Flynn was out of words.
Drake had really changed! The old Drake would never say something like this. But now, it seemed he
could do anything to please Sophia. It was all because he was afraid she would leave him.
The break was soon over. Zain came to the front of everyone. "Just now, all the tender were presented.
And I believe you can guess the winner. I will not keep you in suspense. I have decided that we will use
the tender of Sophia from Slylane Group!"
In an instant, everyone applauded.
Drake, Flynn and Bailey smiled.
Sophia stood up and bowed to everyone. "Thank you. I will cherish this opportunity!"
When she was about to walk onto the stage, Abby suddenly stood up and asked. "Mr. Berry, I have an
objection. I want to see the Ms. Lawson's bidding price."
In an instant, everyone started expecting a dramatic turnout.
Zain had expected this, so he calmly said, "Of course. I can frankly tell you that Ms. Lawson has given
a bidding price lower than yours. However, she has presented me with such an excellent tender, which
was why I had a conversation with the executives during the short break just now."
"The price is important, but there are some other factors that are equally important. And after careful
considerations, we decided to give the opportunity to Ms. Lawson."
"Ms. Pearce, is there anything else?"
Abby had been confident in their tender. She was confident that she would win the bidding even in the
face of such strong opponents like the Riley Group, the Price Group, and the Duncan Group.
She wanted to show Drake that even though Sophia had a powerful family background, it was all she
had. She wanted him to know that she was the only person who could help him in business.
But she did not expect that she would lose so completely. It was embarrassing.
Abby suddenly said, "Let's go!"
Sophia stopped her in time, "Ms. Pearce, you have just invited us to lunch."
Abby stiffened. After a while, she said, "Congrats on wining the bidding, Ms. Lawson. I will have to skip
lunch today. But don't worry, the table has been reserved, I will pay for the meal."
Then she left in her high heels.
Zain smiled at Sophia. "Congrats, Ms. Lawson. Your tender is really excellent. The Skylane Group is
thriving in Sealand."
Everyone else also came to congratulate Sophia. She was really something to defeat the Riley Group,
the Price Group and the Duncan Group to get the bidding.
"Thank you, Mr. Berry. I hope we have more chances to cooperate in the future." Sophia wanted to
shake hands with him.
"Of course." Zain had wanted to shake hands with her when Drake walked over and gave him a
warning look.
Zain could only withdraw his hand.
Sophia had been used to it, so there was no expression on her face.
"Well, I have to go now. Bye." Zain immediately left.
Mr. Berry, Zain's elder brother, came over and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Ms. Lawson. Your
tender was outstanding."
Of course, his sincerity was questionable. After all, he had lost a chance to make a fortune. However,
he wasn't jealous.
"Thank you, Mr. Berry. But you should go all out next time."
"Of course!"
The two laughed. Mr. Berry dared not take too much of Sophia's time. After all, Drake's gaze gave him
chills.
After a few words, he said goodbye and left.
Sophia looked at Drake and asked, "Shall we go to lunch?"
"And make Ms. Pearce pay?"
Sophia arched her eyebrows, "You feel sorry for her?"
Flynn and Bailey gloated.
Drake held her into his arms. "Of course not. It's a free meal. I can't skip that!"
"Oh? So, you wanted to have lunch with her? Shall we leave you two alone?"
Drake was speechless.
Flynn had been holding back his laughter.
Sophia might be the only person who could beat Drake at arguing. She was really Drake's vanquisher.
After a while, Drake finally gave her a pitiful look, admitting defeat. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Sophia smiled proudly. "Huh! Don't try to challenge me. I have a lot of ways to teach you a lesson."
Drake nodded repeatedly.
Chloe was also wearing a smile.
She had to admit that a different side of Drake could only be seen when he was with Sophia.
Perhaps they were meant to be together.
After lunch, Abby got a message, saying that the meal had cost her hundreds of thousands of dollars.
She was pissed.
"Sophia! Let's wait and see!"
The Skylane Group had won two of the biggest bidding in Sealand. She worked until 9 o'clock at night.
Coming out of the office building, she saw that Drake's car was already waiting for her there.
Sophia walked over quickly. "When did you come?"
"After getting off work, do you believe me?"
Drake could make a lot of money every minute. It had been over three hours since he got off work. He
had waited for her here for three hours.
Of course, he might have gone somewhere else during this period.
Sophia soon asked, "Have you just got off work?"
Drake closed his laptop, "Do you not have any trust in me?"
Of course, she trusted him. But she could feel less guilty if he had been waiting for just a short while.
"Get in, you should be hungry now. What do you want to have for dinner? It's my treat."
Sophia couldn't pretend that she didn't know he had been waiting for her for three hours.
When she got in, she asked, "So, you did come right after you got off work at six?"
"Yes."
Somehow, Sophia got an impulse to kiss him on the cheek and she did.
Drake looked at her in surprise.
Although she had given him a lot of surprises recently, this was beyond his expectation.
Out of instinct, he hugged her and kissed her passionately.
The driver immediately lowered the partition and was hesitating if he should leave them alone when he
heard Sophia say, "Alright. It's late now and I'm really hungry."
