Revenge On My First Love novel Chapter 227

"Are there a lot of men at dinner? Sophia, you should stay away from such occasions from now on," said Drake in a masterful manner.

"You mean, from now on, the Riley Group will be in charge of keeping my companies alive?"

"Sophia, I did not mean that. You might be taken advantage of on such an occasion. Don't you know?"

"Now everyone knows that you are my protector. No one would be bold enough to lay a finger on me."

"Not necessarily. What if there is?"

Drake hated to see Sophia dine with other men.

"So, you think I'm not tough enough to protect myself?"

It was true that Sophia was a tough woman.

But that was not what Drake was worried about.

"Drake."

Suddenly, Sophia called his name seriously.

Drake felt the seriousness in Sophia's voice.

"If you want our relationship to work, you should respect me. Let me do what I want to do and don't stop me. Otherwise, you should not show your face to me from now on."

Drake didn't know what to say.

Sophia was no longer the pushover she used to be. Now she would do what she thought was the right thing to do.

"Got it. Call me if you need me."

Sophia nodded.

Hanging up the phone, Sophia got into the car and drove to the restaurant where the dinner party was held.

When she arrived, some people had been waiting. Sophia walked in with confident steps and Mr. Berry, the initiator of the dinner, immediately stood up and said with a smile.

"Ms. Lawson, it's my great honor to have you here. Please take a seat."

Sophia came over. Seeing Drake here, she was somewhat surprised. They exchanged looks.

Mr. Berry, as a sophisticated man, immediately said, "Oh, my apologies. I didn't tell you the attendees because I was afraid you might not come so as not to bump into each other."

"I have made a lot of efforts to get you two in the same room with us. You wouldn't mind, Ms. Lawson, would you?"

Sophia came to herself. "Of course not."

She sat down next to Drake.

Others were stunned for a moment and Mr. Berry laughed. "I knew you wouldn't mind it for the greater good. Alright. Since everyone's here, waiter!"

The waiters came over one by one to serve the dishes.

When Mr. Berry was about to pour alcohol into Sophia's cup, Drake stopped him. "She's a woman. She shouldn't drink."

Everyone else was stunned.

Sophia smiled. "Why can't women drink? There can be no special cases at a business dinner. Fill my glass."

In others' eyes, tensions between Sophia and Drake seemed to be growing.

As far as they knew, Sophia and Drake used to date. Although Drake had said that he would marry no one else but Sophia, there was no news that they had got back together. Therefore, in their eyes, Drake was being nice to Sophia, but Sophia didn't care about Drake at all.
