Chapter 283 Something Wrong Happens to the Purchasing Department


    Sophia felt the same about this.


    "Reckon that it''s not his own idea. Perhaps, Olivia deliberately told him to get closer to me. When it''s


    time for me to choose, I will be stuck in a quagmire. Once I choose to be your enemy, we may hold a


    grudge against each other, and we will gradually be apart."


    Drake tossed a nce at her. He knew she was smart, but her savvy was still beyond his expectation.


    "You''re right. It''s possible. Since that is so, you should know that once you refuse them, they will find


    ways against you!" warned Drake.


    Sophia curled up her lips, "Yes, they will. But I''m not afraid because I have you."


    "I think you will be on their side!"


    Sophia raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you serious?"


    Drake hurried to beg for mercy.


    Sophia snorted. This man still yed a joke on her at such a time.


    Now that they had known about what each other thought in mind, they had nothing to worry about.


    Then Drake, with Sophia, drove to the garage and got off.


    Emma saw theme back with a smile on her face.


    While Sophia was changing her clothes in her room, Emma quickly drew Drake to her and asked, "You


    two spent a lot of time in the car. What happened?"


    "Nothing, mom. We just talked about some work stuff," said Drake.


    Emma observed his expression carefully but found nothing weird, and finally, she felt hugely relieved.


    "Get along well with Sophia, don''t hurt her, will you?"


    Drake said resignedly, "Mom, who''s your biological child, I or she?"


    "Of course, she. You''re nothing!"


    It really hurt!


    Well, there was nothing wrong with that. He used to be worried if Sophia and his mother would get on


    well together. Unexpectedly, their rtionship was much better than those rtionships between other


    mothers-inw and daughters-inw.


    So, he was relieved.


    In the next morning, no sooner had Sophia reached thepany than Chloe approached her and


    whispered in her ear, "Sophia, something wrong happens to the purchasing department. The


    purchasing goods cannot be supplied in time and our products cannot be put on shelves, which leads


    to the suspension of the whole supply chain."


    Sophia was not surprised about it, and she asked, "Have you contacted with the supplier?"


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    "Yes, but he says hispany has got into trouble recently so he''s unable to help us solve this


    problem."


    Sophia smiled scornfully, "They can''t help us solve this problem? Or he''s sitting by and watching on


    purpose?"


    Chloe also thought about it and asked, "Does somebody pull the strings deliberately?"


    "Someone hates to see me lead an easy life. It''s understandable for him to plot against me."


    "Do you mean Spencer?"


    Sophia said, snorting, "Only him. Does hee here?"


    "No. He asks for sick leave and still stays at home."


    "Buy some fruit. I''ll pay him a visitter."


    Chloe knew her intention and went to prepare it.


    Mr. Martin also heard about this. He walked up to Sophia and said, "Ms. Lawson, I have known what


    happened. It must be someone who gets us into trouble on purpose. We have cooperated with that


    supplier for long. I can find a new one for you. What do you think?"


    Mr. Martin was showing his good faith. However, if Sophia epted his suggestion, he might take full


    control of the purchasing departmen like what Spencer did before.


    After all, Spencer''s men were in charge of the purchasing department before. Although Mr. Martin


    looked nice, he might just pretend to be nice and do something bad behind Sophia''s back.


    "Mr. Martin, thanks for your suggestion. If youe to me earlier, I will ask for your help. But now, I


    have coped with it."


    "Really?" Mr. Martin looked at Sophia in surprise. He wondered how she could deal with it in an hour.


    Sophia exined, "My fiance, Drake, heard about it and provided me with the supplier of the Riley


    Group. He tells me that my business is of priority."


    Hearing that, Mr. Martin was impressed by how intelligent Sophia was.


    He couldn''t argue with that, so he had to say, "I''m relieved to hear that. Ms. Lawson, we''re like a family.


    If you have problem at work, please tell me. I''ll try my best to help you."


    "Thank you, Mr. Martin."


    "You''re wee."


    Then Mr. Martin left.


    Hardly had he got out when some people slid into his office. They asked him, "How''s it going? Does


    that girl agree with your suggestion?"


    "She''s tricky. Abby is nothingpared to her." Mr. Martin then told them what just happened.


    "Ah! She''s putting pressure on you by using Drake. She indeed has some tricks up her sleeves."


    "It''s seemingly impossible to gain other benefits from the business!"


    Mr. Martin sighed, "Well, all we want is benefit. Now that she can bring us more, we just follow her for a


    time!"


    They didn''t talk too much. After all, they were different from Spencer. They merely wanted to make her


    a figurehead instead of recing her. And now that they couldn''t make it, they would just quit this idea


    since Sophia could give them more profits.


    With a fruit basket in her hand, Sophia knocked at the door of Spencer''s home.


    It was Mrs. Porter who opened the door. She only met Sophia for one or two times and thought Sophia


    looked familiar, but she failed to remember who thetter was.


    However, such a beautifuldy made her have a sense of crisis.


    "Hello, you are..."


    Sophia introduced herself with a smile, "Mrs. Porter, I''m Sophia, the new boss of thepany where


    your husband works."


    Then Mrs. Porter remembered it and hurriedly weed her.


    In the room, Spencer heard Sophia''s voice. He frowned and seemed to be puzzled about why Sophia


    came here.


    Sophia handed the fruit basket to Mrs. Porter and said, "Last time, Mr. Porter drank with Drake. I think


    Mr. Porter must suffer a lot. And Ie here to visit him on behalf of Drake!"


    Mrs. Porter understood her intention, and she said impassively, "Oh! Don''t worry. He''s a little old now.


    And he has problems with his stomach since he''s been working for long before. Thus he didn''t turn up


    to work these days."


    "I''m very sorry to have youe over here in person."


    Sophia smiled. "It''s not a big deal. We work in the same ce, and he has contributed so much to the


    Mrs. Porter had never dealt with such a shrewd girl like Sophia.
