Chapter 276 Drake Came in Person
After eating, Drake nced at the time. It was time to go back to work. Before he left, he warned
Sophia again.
"Don''t let me see you eating other things in secret. If your stomach doesn''t heal within half a year, I''ll
''punish'' you strictly!"
Sophia stuck out her tongue cutely again. What gave her away? How did he know what she wanted to
do?
"Did you hear me?"
He roared very harshly in the end.
"Yeah! Just go!"
Drake leaned over and bit on her lip. "I hope you''ve learned your lesson!"
He then turned around and went out.
He didn''t even give her a chance toin.
"Come on!!" Chloe, who was idle and bored, walked in. "Someone is so different after being deeply in
love!"
"You have been too bored recently, right?"
Chloe replied casually, "Send me to the branch in Africa then. Anyway, your brother Bard is there. But
you can''t. You need me to stay here and help you!"
"Damn girl!"
Chloe wore a triumphant smile.
In the afternoon, Sophia buried herself in work. It was indeed a bit difficult for her to quit alcohol. She
had just taken over thispany. She needed to visit some old clients. If the client insisted that she
should drink, she couldn''t really refuse.
Also, though the title of Mrs. Riley was useful, she couldn''t use it as an excuse all the time. After all,
she and Drake hadn''t really married yet.
Sophia asked Chloe to prepare what she needed and then started to visit the clients one by one.
"Sophia, actually you don''t have to visit those clients, I can do it for you."
"I think I should visit them in person. We will work together many times in the future, and the situation is
different from before. After taking over Abby''spany, I havepletely taken root in Send. I don''t
want others to think I''m a cocky person."
Chloe looked at her helplessly. "But what can they do to you even if you are?"
"I''m the youngdy of the Pinkerton Thomas family. My visit is already an honor for them."
Sophia smiled. Since she was a child, she had seemed to be the dominant one among them. They
seemed to be her followers and they were willing to be.
But to Sophia, they were not her followers but friends.
Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.
So, she couldn''t ask them to do things for her all the time. She should do things in person when
necessary.
"Let''s go!"
However, Sophia didn''t exin much.
Chloe understood what Sophia was thinking, so she didn''t say anything either.
When they arrived at the clients''panies, Sophia''s appearance surprised some of the bosses.
"Ms. Lawson, I didn''t expect you to be here in person."
"Of course, I shoulde in person. After all, thepany is mine now. Ie here with full sincerity,
hoping we will cooperate well in the future."
Chloe''s arrival already made them feel honored, not to mention Sophia''s.
Neither of them was from Send, but they came from the prominent families in Pinkerton. Most
importantly, they had a very strong bond with Send.
When thepany was led by Abby, someone might think little of it. But now, things were different.
Not long after Sophia started chatting with the client, Drake called.
To show her respect for the client, Sophia did not answer the call but hung up directly.
The client sitting across from her noticed it. "Ms. Lawson, why didn''t you answer Mr. Riley''s call?"
Sophia smiled. "It''s nothing important. Let''s go on."
"It''s okay, I can wait."
Sophia knew that the client wouldn''t like to wait if it wasn''t Drake''s call.
Sophia thought missing one call was no big deal, and yet Drake soon called again. So, she said
apologetically, "I guess I have to answer it now. Please go on with Chloe."
"Alright."
Sophia came out and answered the call.
Before she could speak, Drake asked, "Why did you ignore my call?"
"I was talking with a client!"
"A client? Who?"
Sophia said resignedly, "I am not alone. Chloe is here too. You know, I just took over thepany. I
have to do something to keep my clients."
"Where are you?" Drake didn''t sound very good.
Sophia was busy. She didn''t want to quarrel with him, so she told him the location. "Is it okay? I have to
go now."
"Okay!"
Sophia went back without thinking much more.
With a professional smile, she said apologetically to the client, "Sorry, I''m done."
The client mentioned Drake intentionally or unintentionally.
After all, a lot of peoplecked an opportunity to meet Drake. They wanted to, but they couldn''t find a
way to. Now, they thought Sophia might be able to create this opportunity for them.
Sophia understood what the client was thinking. So, she mentioned Drake from time to time.
To everyone''s surprise, after a short time, a person walked in from the outside. "Sir, a man surnamed
Riley wants to see you!"
A man surnamed Riley!
When the client heard this, he quickly said, "Let him in, now."
Sophia looked surprised. Why was Drake here? Was it because he got jealous and was afraid that
someone would flirt with her?
Chloe whispered in her ear. "Nice, you even invited Drake. I believe the rest of the talk will be a very
smooth one."
Very few clients refused to meet with her. After all, most people knew that Sophia was Drake''s woman.
But did Drakee over because of this?
As soon as Drake appeared, the client in front of her quickly stood up and stretched out his hand
excitedly. "Mr. Riley, it''s such an honor to meet you here!"
Normally, Drake would ignore the person in front of him. Yet at that moment, he reached out and shook
hands with the other person. Then, he walked to Sophia. But in the client''s eyes, it was already exciting
enough.
Drake nced at Sophia, and sat beside her, "Guys, please go on. I''m just dropping by to have a look
at her."
The client immediately understood what it meant. Drake could create values of billions of dors every
minute. Yet now, he dropped by just to keep Sophiapany.
Those who refused to see Sophia didn''t think she and Drake would make it to the end. Although
Sophia''s family background was strong, her family was rooted in Pinkerton after all. They didn''t need
resources in Pinkerton, so they weren''t afraid of offending her.
