Sophia stared up at him in disbelief. "How amazing! I never expect you to beg me for help."
"I don't think my mother and Aria could get along soon. Aria needs to be taken care of, so she must stay in this villa. I can tell she has become obedient to you after you rescued her. Sophia, can you please come to see them often from now on? I'm a man, and sometimes I lose my temper. You are different. I'm sure Aria will listen to your suggestions."
"Besides, if my mother doesn't feel well, she could tell you. Although we've been in touch over the years, you are closer to her than I am."
Sophia was amazed again as she hadn't expected to hear Drake talk so much in her life.
"What if I say no?"
"You won't. I know you care about my mother."
He was right. Sophia couldn't leave Emma alone. Even if Drake didn't ask her, she would visit Emma occasionally. However, since Drake said so, it became a favor.
"All right. I'll come here often."
"Ehn."
"The trouble you've made to my company..."
"I'll solve it."
No matter what, Sophia couldn't leave Sealand for the time being. Therefore, Drake didn't need to do anything to her company.
"All right."
When Sophie returned to her office, Chloe felt Sophia had again fallen into Drake's trap.
Although she didn't know anything, she remarked, "Sophia, believe it or not? You'll never escape from Drake."
Sophia glanced at her without replying.
"What's that look for?"
"I can't agree with you more."
Chloe continued excitedly, "I knew it! I could tell you must have had an agreement with him. He has stopped making trouble for our company, but you don't look like you are leaving Sealand. I guess he must have done something to you. Sophia, tell me. I'm strong to take it."
Sophia told him what had happened earlier.
Chloe gaped at her in disbelief. "So you agreed?"
"I had to. I can't leave Ms. Glass alone after such things happened."
Her words made sense.
"Noah..."
"I'll talk to him," Sophia answered.
However, she had a migraine when thinking about Noah's stubbornness.
By the end of the day, Sophia called Noah out for dinner.
Noah was delighted. However, a bad hunch rose in his heart after he met Sophia.
"Sophia, Edwin and Bard told me you would return to Pinkerton either today or tomorrow. Do you want to tell me you'll stay?"
After all, they grew up together, so Noah could easily read her mind.
"Exactly. I will stay here and cannot go home for the time being."
"What did Drake do to you again, Sophia? Why can't you see through his purpose?"
"No, thanks. It's on me."
When Cecelia passed by the restaurant, she saw them.
With an evil smile, she had an idea suddenly.
Then she sneaked in and talked to a waitress.
Since Cecelia gave her a lot of money and told her she wanted to surprise the two, the waitress agreed and did as she was told.
The waitress walked to Noah and Sophia. "Excuse me, mister and miss. Congratulations! You are at the 88th table in our restaurant. We provide a gift for our 88th diners. I can tell you are lovers, so we'll give you the gift if you play a game with us."
Sophia denied, "I'm not his girlfriend."
Noah glanced at her.
The waitress asked in surprise, "Aren't you? You look like a perfect match."
"Sorry..."
Before Sophia finished her words, Noah interrupted with a smile, "She's right. We're not in love yet. I'm pursuing her."
"It's alright. You can still play the game and gain the gift. The gift is valuable and meaningful. Please follow me."
Sophia was unwilling to go, but Noah dragged her. "Come on, Sophia. We're lucky today. Let's play the game."
He dragged her into following the waitress.
The waitress explained, "If you can take some group photos as we ask, you'll receive the gift soon."
