Sophia looked at him, "You don't know him. If I do leave, he will destroy my companies."
"You know how important these companies are to me, they were all founded by me. I can't just stand by and watch them being destroyed."
"And there are so many employees working for me, where should they go after losing their jobs?"
Noah couldn't believe it. "So, you know this is Drake's trick, and you insist on staying and handling it?"
"Since he wants me to stay, it means he hasn't given up on me yet. I think I should stay and make him."
Noah had been fixing his eyes on her.
After a while, he asked, "So, this is what you have been thinking?"
"Yes. I have said that I won't get back together with him. What happened last night won't change a thing."
It seemed that Sophia was determined.
Noah thought about it and said, "Okay, Sophia. I will stay here with you. After you finished handling work, we will go back together."
Sophia looked at him. "You should go back now. If you don't leave, he might hurt me."
Drake was a jealous and petty man.
Noah thought about it. "I can go. But my proposal..."
Sophia solemnly said, "Noah, I'm sorry, I can't marry you."
Noah smiled with self-mockery. "See? I have known the answer but I just want to hear it from you. It doesn't matter. Anyway, you won't get back together with Drake. I can wait for you to fall in love with me."
Sophia didn't know what else to say.
"I will leave now. Sophia, I will be waiting for you in Pinkerton."
Sophia didn't say anything.
Noah knew that she didn't have any feelings for him until now, but what did it matter? As long as she didn't get back together with Drake, he stood a chance.
After Noah left, Sophia went back to work.
Chloe said angrily, "Sophia, what happened? Why did Drake do this?"
Sophia said indifferently, "I slept with him last night."
Chloe's mouth was wide open in shock.
"What? What were you thinking, girl?"
Sophia shook her head helplessly. "It's all because of alcohol. I stayed at Ms. Glass' place last night and walked back into the wrong room after I went to the bathroom. I didn't know it was Drake's room that I walked into."
"And what happened then?"
Sophia took the initiative?
Chloe couldn't believe it.
"I fell asleep. Maybe I woke him up, and he kept touching me." Sophie recalled, "Actually, I was awake then and I saw Drake, but I thought I was dreaming. You know I always dream of him. Sometimes the dream is sweet and sometimes painful..."
Chloe took the tumble. "So you thought, 'Anyway it's a dream. Why not sleep with him'? But you didn't know you were actually sleeping with him?"
Sophia nodded her head with a sigh.
If she had known it, she wouldn't have done it.
Chloe gave her a thumbs up, "Girl, you're awesome!"
Sophia regretted it, but it had happened and she couldn't change it.
"By the way, did you say anything to him last night?"
