Besides, it was surely a good thing Emma and Baron got back together.
For Drake, who had lacked love from both of his parents, this should be a good thing.
"I know you are still worried about Ms. Glass. But Ms. Glass won't let herself get hurt twice. You don't
have to worry."
After a while, Drake smiled. "You might know my mom better than I do."
"Of course, she has been my teacher since I was five years old. Sometimes, she took me as you."
Thinking of this, Drake held Sophia in his arms. "So, you are destined to be my wife. You can't escape
that."
Sophia had to admit that.
At the same time, she was also very happy that fate had bound them together at that time. That was
amazing.
During the meal, Drake tried several times to tell Emma about Baron, but Sophia stopped him.
Emma smiled. "If you have anything to say, just say it!"
Sophia smiled too. "No, Ms. Glass!"
Emma looked at Drake and motioned for him to speak, yet unexpectedly, her son obeyed whatever

"Oh, Drake, you no longer listen to me!" Emma sighed.
Drake was helpless. "Mom, what are you talking about!"
"What am I talking about? You are so obedient to Sophia."
Drake said confidently. "If I dare to go against her wishes, aren't you worried that she would abandon
me for someone else?"
Emma said, still smiling, "You are right, my son. As your mother, I feel very happy."
Sophia blushed.
What the hell!
Seriously!
The next day, at the company, Chloe told Sophia that several clients invited her to dinner and asked
her if she would go.
Sophia asked who they were, and agreed. "I'll go. Many of them are old clients of Asco Group. It'll be
rude if I refuse the invitation."
"Okay, I'll tell them."
At night, Sophia called to inform Emma and Drake, but Drake didn't answer the phone, so she sent him
a message.
When Sophia arrived at the place, everyone was waiting for her. "Ms. Lawson, you finally came, I
thought you wouldn't come today!"
Mr. Barnett, who organized the dinner, got up and greeted her warmly.
Sophia had a professional smile on her face. "Of course, I gotta be here. Since I agreed, I will definitely
come. However, I remember the time is six o'clock, but now it's only five fifty. Are you sure you guys
didn't come too early?" Sophia said in a joking tone.
Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing that.
Mr. Barnett echoed. "That's right, we came ahead of time!"
Under Mr. Barnett's arrangement, Sophia sat down beside Mr. Nash after greeting them all politely.
Mr. Barnett asked the waiter to serve the food.
When Mr. Barnett was preparing wine for everyone, Sophia said apologetically, "I'm sorry, gentlemen. I
hate to say that, but I have a bad stomach and I am in therapy for that. So, I am afraid I can't tonight."
These people knew that Sophia wasn't against alcohol. Some of them drank with her.
So Sophia's words couldn't be an excuse.
Mr. Barnett didn't try to persuade her. He called the waiter, "Since she can't drink alcohol, please bring
up some juice or something!"
Sophia hurriedly added, "Some plain water will be perfect, thank you!"
The waiter didn't know what to do for a moment.
Mr. Barnett said. "Just do what Ms. Lawson said!"
The waiter went to prepare the water.
After a while, the water was delivered, and the waiter helped to pour it.
Mr. Barnett smiled. "Ms. Lawson, since you can't drink today, you have to make it up next time. We'll all
remember that!"
Seeing that their attitudes were nice, Sophia naturally agreed. "Okay, Mr. Barnett, and everybody, don't
worry, I'll keep my word. When my stomach recovers, I promise I'll drink with you!"
People appreciated Sophia's attitude.
Sophia had a glass of water with the wine glass. Then she noticed the taste was weird, so she asked,
"What type of water is this? Why does it taste so different?"
The waiter didn't know what to say, his eyes flickering. Mr. Barnett quickly replied, "I asked them to
prepare the best water for you. Ms. Lawson, since you can't drink alcohol, you must drink some good
water. This is the latest water brand. Is it good?"
Sophia said calmly. "Not bad, thank you, Mr. Barnett!"
"You're welcome!"
Seeing nothing usual from her eyes, Mr. Barnett breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, everyone started eating and chatting.
Sophia wanted to take out her phone and send a message to Drake, but she never had the chance.
After about three to five minutes, Sophia got an obvious headache.
She looked at Mr. Barnett with caution. In fact, she also felt that Mr. Barnett was looking at her as if
observing her changes.
Sophia thought about it. There was no feud between her and Mr. Barnett. Why did Mr. Barnett want to
harm her?
But she would get into trouble if things went on like this, so she stood up, "Excuse me, gentlemen, I
have to go to the restroom."
Mr. Barnett immediately stood up, "Ms. Lawson, there is one in this box, you don't need to go out."
Sophia was in urgent need of informing Drake to save her.
Though anxiously, she said calmly, "Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks for reminding me, Mr. Barnett!"
"It's nothing! Don't mention it, Ms. Lawson."
Sophia took her phone and was about to go.
Mr. Barnett smiled, "Ms. Lawson, why do you have to bring your phone? Are you afraid that we will
steal it?"
Sophia said with a light smile, "Of course not. But I got to handle something. Excuse me, everybody."
Sophia went in with her phone.
Mr. Barnett's eyes gradually changed.
People seemed to feel that something went wrong.
On the way to the restroom, Sophia was on guard against Mr. Barnett, afraid that he would approach
suddenly, but luckily he didn't.
Sophia went to the restroom and quickly closed the door. Her mind was not very clear, but when she
took out her phone to send the message, she heard Mr. Barnett talking to the waiter outside.
"Do you have the key? Can you go in and have a look? I'm afraid something is happening to Ms.
Lawson!"
