Revenge On My First Love

Chapter 271 A Tough Cake

"But I really don't want to owe Noah too much."

"You don't owe him. Do you owe us for our help?"

"It's different!"

"What's the difference? The four of us had always been close, right?"

"But he..."

"If you really feel uncomfortable accepting his help, you can help him back if he's in need, right?"

Sophia knew that Noah might actually need her help someday according to the Greenspan family's

current situation.

"Well, don't think so much. Go to work, although you have had a good start, it won't be easy to take full

control of this company."

Of course, Sophia knew that.

It was her first day in office, of course, she had to invite the shareholders to dinner in the evening.

They had dinner in the most luxurious box in the Sealand Grand Hotel.

When the chairman and senior executives arrived, they all smiled and said, "Ms. Lawson, you are so

generous, treating us to dinner here."

"Yes, Ms. Lawson, we can see how seriously you take us."

Sophia wore a professional smile on her face, "I'm glad you like it. I was worried you might not like this

place."

"Ms. Lawson, how could we not like it? This is just a get-together. It has been a long time since the last

time we all got together."

"Come, take your seats!"

When everyone sat down, they suddenly realized something, "Hasn't Mr. Porter come?"

The person next to him kicked him and he was confused. Did he say anything wrong?

Then, everyone thought of something, Sophia didn't even invite Spencer to this dinner, right?

Sophia smiled, "I called him, but he hasn't come yet. Maybe he won't come tonight."

Just then, Spencer walked in, "How could I not come? It's your treat. I was caught in a traffic jam and

got here a bit late. You wouldn't mind, Ms. Lawson, would you?"

Sophia wore a sophisticated smile, "Of course not. I am flattered to see you here, Mr. Porter."

Spencer sat down next to Sophia naturally. It Sophia hadn't been here early, he would have taken the

host's seat.

When Sophia sat down, she politely asked, "Mr. Porter, we have ordered some dishes before you

arrived, is there anything you'd like to add?"

"Oh, there is."

If it weren't Spencer but someone else, he might politely refuse.

But Spencer obviously wanted to make Sophia bleed money. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Sure enough. When everyone heard the dishes he ordered, they all gasped.

He ordered five dishes that cost ten thousand dollars.

After he finished ordering, he put the menu in front of Sophia. With a sly smile, he asked, "Ms. Lawson,

you wouldn't mind me ordering so many dishes, would you?"

"Of course not. Since you love the dishes here, you should have more." With that, Sophia said to the

waiter, "After the meal, pack those dishes for Mr. Porter."

The waiter was a little confused. Although there were all rich people that dined here, what they ordered

was just too much, could he really finish all those dishes?

Seeing that the waiter didn't reply, Sophia said with a frown, "What's wrong? Did you hear me?"

"Yes, ma'am."

The waiter turned around and left.

Sophia smiled and looked at Spencer. " Since you love those dishes, share them with your family."

"Thank you, Ms. Lawson." Spencer narrowed his eyes.

"You're welcome!"

Sophia won the first game.

The dishes were soon served, and the wine was also ready. Spencer picked up the bottle of wine

before Sophia could and said, "I am grateful that Ms. Lawson is treating us to dinner here. On behalf of

everyone, I'd like to propose a toast."

Of course, Sophia knew what he was doing. She raised her glass, smiled and said, "I'd like to drink

with, Mr. Porter, but before that, I'd like everyone to raise their glasses first."

"You can drink with everyone else later. Ms. Lawson, I have just proposed a toast to you. If you don't

drink with me now, you will have to have three glasses of wine later!"

Sophia almost wanted to curse him.

But she kept a smile.

"Mr. Porter, you are making things difficult for me here."

"Not at all! We are all businessmen and we are all equal. In the business world, we earn our status by

our abilities. Moreover, I have been working in the company for years, Ms. Lawson, do I have the honor

to drink with you now?"

His speech put Sophia in a difficult position. If she drank with Spencer first, it would mean she had less

respect for everyone else. If she refused to drink with Spencer, she would have to have three glasses

of wine later on."

But she had no other way.

"Okay. I'll have three glasses of wine later."

Sophia then raised her glass at everyone, "Everyone, thank you so much for attending the dinner. We

will be colleagues from now on. I am new here and I have a lot to learn from you. I'd like to propose a

toast to you!"

Everyone couldn't help nodding. Although Sophia was only a young woman in her 20s, she could be

very eloquent.

And she seemed to be more capable than Abby.

Everyone had high expectations for her.

They all raised their glasses and drank with her. They all drank half the glass while Sophia had a full

glass of wine. After all, she was the boss and she wanted to show her sincerity at their first meal

together.

But this was not beer, but liquor.

Mr. Porter took the opportunity and said, "Fill Ms. Lawson's glass!"

The waiter immediately did as he was asked.

Spencer laughed and said, "Ms. Lawson, you have promised me! Three glasses of wine!"

Sophia smiled, "Of course. I remember my words!"

She grabbed her glass and clinked it with Spencer before drinking it up.

Everyone was stunned.

It was liquor, not beer! Sophia had drunk two glasses of wine and it was impressive!

The waiter kept her glass full and Sophia raised her glass again without any fear. She drank two more

glasses of wine, facing Spencer.

Everyone was shocked. Four glasses of wine in a row?

Spencer had been watching her and saw no change of expression on her face. He gave her a thumb

up and said, "Ms. Lawson, I am impressed!"
