It had taken them a lot of efforts to get where they were today. Not all couples who had broken up before could get back together again after parting for so long. Drake cherished their relationship very much.
Sophia was moved before saying in a sweet voice, "Drake, don't get mad. I know you are just concerned about me, but I have to go. I know that you could handle everything for me even if I didn't do anything, but I want to handle it on my own."
"If I have to rely on you to handle everything for me, how am I supposed to take over my family business someday?"
It was true, but...
"Sophia, I think I need to tell you my opinions. The power and wealth of your family is what everyone salivates at. But Sophia, I can provide for you. You don't have to inherit your family business."
"Travis is doing well now. You can leave it to him and be my carefree wife."
Sophia knew that Drake simply didn't want her to work so hard. It was rare for a man to say those words.
"I will think about it, but can I go to work today? I do have a stomachache, but I have had an IV drip. And I promise you I will have another IV drip today. Maybe you can make me a doctor's appointment at noon?"
Every time Sophia said to Drake in such a soft tone, Drake would give in to her.
He took a look at her and said resignedly, "Are you sure you will go there at noon?"
Sophia nodded.
"Fine. I will believe you once."
There was nothing Drake could do to change her mind.
Sophia smiled.
Drake was so pissed that he didn't know what to say. He glared at her.
Sophia walked over and hugged him, "Don't be angry. You are the best."
Drake hugged her so tightly that she almost couldn't breathe.
"Ouch! My stomach is alright now. Are you going to suffocate me?"
"Maybe!"
After this incident, the two seemed to be closer.
At the company, everyone was surprised to see Sophia. They had all assumed she might not come to work today after having so much wine last night.
But she came, and even looked spirited. It was as if the liquor didn't have any influence on her.
In the office, Chloe looked at her up and down and said, "I didn't call you and you didn't call me. I knew you would come to work. But you really push yourself too hard. You drank so much wine last night and yet you came to work today."
"I have to be here. It's my battle with Spencer. I can't lose to him anyway."
This was the business world.
Sophia would never give Spencer what he wanted!
"But Sophia, you should have taken me with you last night. I would have taught Spencer a lesson for you!" Chloe was mad at the thought of Spencer.
"No. We had anticipated he would set a trap. How could I drag you down with me? It's not worth it."
Sophia paused for a second.
"Moreover, even if I couldn't come today, at least one of us would be here."
That was exactly why Chloe didn't follow her yesterday.
"By the way, has Spencer come to work?"
"How could he come after what Drake had done last night? However, I suppose he would be pissed after knowing that you came."
Sophia chuckled.
"By the way, are you feeling well?"
"Of course not. I had a terrible stomachache!"
