Chapter 274 We''ll Be Your Followers
It had taken them a lot of efforts to get where they were today. Not all couples who had broken up
before could get back together again after parting for so long. Drake cherished their rtionship very
much.
Sophia was moved before saying in a sweet voice, "Drake, don''t get mad. I know you are just
concerned about me, but I have to go. I know that you could handle everything for me even if I didn''t do
anything, but I want to handle it on my own."
"If I have to rely on you to handle everything for me, how am I supposed to take over my family
business someday?"
It was true, but...
"Sophia, I think I need to tell you my opinions. The power and wealth of your family is what everyone
salivates at. But Sophia, I can provide for you. You don''t have to inherit your family business."
"Travis is doing well now. You can leave it to him and be my carefree wife."
Sophia knew that Drake simply didn''t want her to work so hard. It was rare for a man to say those
words.
"I will think about it, but can I go to work today? I do have a stomachache, but I have had an IV drip.
And I promise you I will have another IV drip today. Maybe you can make me a doctor''s appointment at
noon?"
Every time Sophia said to Drake in such a soft tone, Drake would give in to her.
He took a look at her and said resignedly, "Are you sure you will go there at noon?"
Sophia nodded.
"Fine. I will believe you once."
There was nothing Drake could do to change her mind.
Sophia smiled.
Drake was so pissed that he didn''t know what to say. He red at her.
Sophia walked over and hugged him, "Don''t be angry. You are the best."
Drake hugged her so tightly that she almost couldn''t breathe.
"Ouch! My stomach is alright now. Are you going to suffocate me?"
"Maybe!"
After this incident, the two seemed to be closer.
At thepany, everyone was surprised to see Sophia. They had all assumed she might note to
work today after having so much winest night.
But she came, and even looked spirited. It was as if the liquor didn''t have any influence on her.
In the office, Chloe looked at her up and down and said, "I didn''t call you and you didn''t call me. I knew
you woulde to work. But you really push yourself too hard. You drank so much winest night and
yet you came to work today."
"I have to be here. It''s my battle with Spencer. I can''t lose to him anyway."
This was the business world.
Sophia would never give Spencer what he wanted!
"But Sophia, you should have taken me with youst night. I would have taught Spencer a lesson for
you!" Chloe was mad at the thought of Spencer.
"No. We had anticipated he would set a trap. How could I drag you down with me? It''s not worth it."
Sophia paused for a second.
"Moreover, even if I couldn''te today, at least one of us would be here."
That was exactly why Chloe didn''t follow her yesterday.
"By the way, has Spencere to work?"
"How could hee after what Drake had donest night? However, I suppose he would be pissed
after knowing that you came."
Sophia chuckled.
"By the way, are you feeling well?"
"Of course not. I had a terrible stomachache!"
"You didn''t go to the hospital?"
"I am going to, at noon."
"Good."
Chloe was relieved to hear that.
Not long after Chloe left, Mr. Martin and several executives walked in.
"Ms. Lawson, thank you so muchst night."
Sophia knew why they were here. "You are wee. It''s good that you weren''t implicated."
Mr. Martin looked at her in surprise, "Ms. Lawson, how did you know Mr. Porter would take revenge on
us?"
"You didn''t expect it?"
They all shook their heads in embarrassment.
Mr. Martin spoke, "I had guessed he would, but I didn''t expect it to be so soon."
Sophia gave a light smile, "It''s easy to understand. Think about it. Last night at dinner, you put him in
such a tough spot. How could he not be angry? Moreover, you chose my sidest night, of course he
would want to take revenge on you."
That was true.
Although they had seen a lot of schemes in the business world, they hadn''t been able to see through
human nature, while Sophia was really smart.
She had found ways to cope, which was admirable.
On behalf of the other executives, Mr. Martin said, "Thank you for your helpst night, Ms. Lawson. If
not for you, we might not be able toe to work safely today."
"You are wee."
Sophia didn''t think it was a big deal.
"We mean, we are your followers from now on, Ms. Lawson!"
Although this was what Sophia wanted, she didn''t think it was important. After all, since these people
had betrayed Spencer once, they might betray her someday.
Sophia had a backup n. It was the best she could win their support; if not, she wouldn''t be afraid.
After the speech, these people left.
At noon, Sophia met Drake when she just walked out of the office.
She instantly knew why he was here, smiled, and said, "Drake, you are here."
"Well, are you going now?"
"Yes, of course. I have kept it in mind. Are you here to apany me?"
When Drake was in his own office, he had been worried she might not go to the doctor, so he came.
But he was satisfied to see that she was going to keep her promise.
"Let''s go!"
Because she had a gastroscope to do, Sophia didn''t eat anything.
She was somewhat nervous.
Drake noticed that she was grabbing his hand tightly and asked, "You are not even afraid of drinking so
much wine but you are afraid of having a gastroscope?"
Sophia nodded. " I heard that having a gastroscopy is terrible, so of course I am afraid."

"Rest assured. I have asked about it for you. It used to be painful, but not now anymore."
"Really?"
"Yeah!"
"Well, I will believe you this time."
