"It's good to see him leave. Otherwise, I can't help but doubt whether the company belongs to me or him."
Chloe understood quickly and said, "Sophia, don't mind it. Drake is outstanding. He can upstage every man even though he stands still without saying a word."
That was true though!
In fact, Sophia was not that angry. She just thought he needed to be taken down a peg in case he would be smug in front of her.
"Oh, an auction will be held in the evening. I hear there's something good. Shall we go together?"
Auction?
It sounded fun!
"Sure!"
After work, Sophia and Chloe intended to go to the auction. Unexpectedly, Drake, Bailey, and Flynn were waiting for them.
Chloe asked, "We're going to an auction. How about you?"
Bailey said, "What a coincidence! We come to drive you there."
Sophia and Chloe looked at each other. In a case like this, they could only go with them.
Soon, they arrived at where the auction held. When they five got off the car, they met Julia and Graeme, the two people they were "familiar" with.
Jesus, a coincidence again!
Julia was in a luxurious suit, with her chin up like a proud peafowl.
She was walking towards the venue with Graeme arm in arm.
When Julia noticed them five, she said with a scornful look, "Sophia? Chloe? What are you doing here?"
Last time, Chloe had known how pretentious the woman was, and thus she didn't play nice with her, "Obviously, we're taking part in the auction!"
"Taking part in the auction?" Julia sneered, "How ridiculous! You can't even enter the auction, can you? Let alone afford any stuff!"
Drake whispered to Sophia, "The Frost family has gone bankrupt. Why is this man named Graeme Frost still so arrogant?"
"Last time I went home, Travis told me when the Frost family got into trouble, the branch family where Graeme lived in has cut ties with the Frost family, so they were not influenced. But they are not as wealthy as before."
Julia had no idea what they were talking about, but she guessed they were talking something bad.
"Hey, what are you talking about? Why not speak out!"
Sophia tossed a glance at her but didn't reply to her. Then, she took out an invitation letter and handed it to the usher.
After checking it through, the usher said deferentially, "Good evening, Ms. Lawson. Please come in!"
Julia hurriedly walked up to him and said, "Hey, what's wrong with you? Her invitation is counterfeit. Why let them in?"
The usher looked cold and said, "Miss, if you want to go inside, please show me your invitation. If not, please leave and do not disrupt the order."
"Do you listen to me? Their invitations are fake! Can't you verify them?"
"Surely, we can judge whether the invitation is fake or not. Miss, you can put your mind at ease about it."
Graeme came over and said, "Bro, do you know who I am? You don't want to work here? My name is Graeme Frost. I come from the Pinkerton Frost family. Pay attention to your attitude! Be nice to my lady. You know what, I can fire you with a phone call."
"Are you getting in?" The usher remained cold.
