After Drake finished speaking, he left.
"Hey! How arrogant you are. Just admit you like me ..."
Before Edwin could finish the latter words, Chloe pulled him and whispered in his ear.
Sophia was talking to several presidents over there when she heard Edwin slamming the table and shouting, "Shit, Drake, that's you!"
Of course, Sophia understood what that meant. It must have been Chloe or the others who had told Edwin the whole story, but now was not the time to make a scene, she gestured at Bard.
Just as Bard walked out, Edwin came this way.
"Drake, come over here!"
The Lawsons' got a fiery temper.
Everyone looked at Drake.
Drake just sat there expressionlessly, as if it wasn't him who had been called.
Sophia said apologetically, "Excuse me, guys, I'll go talk him out of it."
Walking out, Sophia pushed Edwin to the side. "Edwin, what are you doing?"
"What do you think I'm doing? I have long said that if I see that person who hurt you at the beginning, I'll tie him and beat him with a whip. Today I finally see him, of course I gotta keep my word!"
"Well, just put it aside. It's dinnertime!" Sophia gestured for him to keep his voice down.
But Edwin didn't take it seriously and continued to say loudly, "So what?"
He was wondering why he could always see this man named Drake. It turned out he came for his sister.
"Edwin!"
Sophia, of course, knew very well that her four brothers were not impulsive but knew the proper things to do on such an occasion. Edwin acted so rashly just because of her.
"Let's wait until afterward to settle anything."
Chloe and Helena also kept stopping him.
Edwin thought about it. "Okay, for your sake, I'll let him go today."
Then, he sat down.
Sophia walked over with Bard and apologized to Mr. Watts and the others.
"I'm sorry, Edwin is such a type, he gets extra emotional whenever he handles my business."
Mr. Watts smiled, "Ms. Lawson is so charming, always surrounded by handsome men."
Sophia smiled, not admitting or denying it. "Let me propose a toast to all the presidents present."
Everyone raised their glasses and drank wine together.
But the glass was still in front of Drake. He did not raise the glass. Sophia did not care, so she put the glass into her mouth and drank up.
Drake's eyes were always on Sophia. The first time he met her in Sealand, he knew that she drank too much. Then he thought, back then, Sophia was not a good drinker, she would be drunk after drinking some alcohol. Also, he did not like women who drank too much, so he forbade her to drink.
But now it was different. Sophia was doing a great job in socializing with people and showing good manners.
Even after drinking a glass of wine down, her face did not change color.
Time, really, was a very surprising thing.
Sophia smiled and said, "Well, enjoy yourselves, we're going back over there."
Then those presidents said goodbye, and Sophia and Bard walked back.
Edwin pointed to Drake over there and asked irritably, "Is that him?"
"Edwin, pay attention!"
