After eating, Drake glanced at the time. It was time to go back to work. Before he left, he warned Sophia again.
"Don't let me see you eating other things in secret. If your stomach doesn't heal within half a year, I'll 'punish' you strictly!"
Sophia stuck out her tongue cutely again. What gave her away? How did he know what she wanted to do?
"Did you hear me?"
He roared very harshly in the end.
"Yeah! Just go!"
Drake leaned over and bit on her lip. "I hope you've learned your lesson!"
He then turned around and went out.
He didn't even give her a chance to complain.
"Come on!!" Chloe, who was idle and bored, walked in. "Someone is so different after being deeply in love!"
"You have been too bored recently, right?"
Chloe replied casually, "Send me to the branch in Africa then. Anyway, your brother Bard is there. But you can't. You need me to stay here and help you!"
"Damn girl!"
Chloe wore a triumphant smile.
In the afternoon, Sophia buried herself in work. It was indeed a bit difficult for her to quit alcohol. She had just taken over this company. She needed to visit some old clients. If the client insisted that she should drink, she couldn't really refuse.
Also, though the title of Mrs. Riley was useful, she couldn't use it as an excuse all the time. After all, she and Drake hadn't really married yet.
Sophia asked Chloe to prepare what she needed and then started to visit the clients one by one.
"Sophia, actually you don't have to visit those clients, I can do it for you."
"I think I should visit them in person. We will work together many times in the future, and the situation is different from before. After taking over Abby's company, I have completely taken root in Sealand. I don't want others to think I'm a cocky person."
Chloe looked at her helplessly. "But what can they do to you even if you are?"
"I'm the young lady of the Pinkerton Thomas family. My visit is already an honor for them."
Sophia smiled. Since she was a child, she had seemed to be the dominant one among them. They seemed to be her followers and they were willing to be.
But to Sophia, they were not her followers but friends.
So, she couldn't ask them to do things for her all the time. She should do things in person when necessary.
"Let's go!"
However, Sophia didn't explain much.
Chloe understood what Sophia was thinking, so she didn't say anything either.
When they arrived at the clients' companies, Sophia's appearance surprised some of the bosses.
"Ms. Lawson, I didn't expect you to be here in person."
"Of course, I should come in person. After all, the company is mine now. I come here with full sincerity, hoping we will cooperate well in the future."
Chloe's arrival already made them feel honored, not to mention Sophia's.
Neither of them was from Sealand, but they came from the prominent families in Pinkerton. Most importantly, they had a very strong bond with Sealand.
When the company was led by Abby, someone might think little of it. But now, things were different.
