Drake wished to pry open Sophia's scalp and check what was in her mind. However, Emma stopped him from talking to avoid a misunderstanding between him and Sophia.
"Sophia, please don't mind my honesty. You knew them years ago, so you were influenced by the first impression they had left on you. Therefore, your judgment is different from ours. Think about it. Why do we all think that way?"
"You may think we're unfriendly towards them, but you should know me well. I'm the only one who can think about this matter objectively."
Sophia furrowed her brows.
"Think about it. Rashad and Lily seem to have similar characters. They are both easygoing and gentle. However, have you thought about the hidden meanings of their words?"
"They couldn't have hidden meanings."
"Why not? Sophia, you probably think we've overthought. In the future, when you are with them, you must pay attention."
Of course, Sophia would listen to Emma. She believed Emma didn't make up such things for no reason. Therefore, Sophia nodded her agreement.
Drake looked helpless. It turned out Sophia only listened to his mother at the critical moment, which meant his wife only trusted his mother the most.
After sending Emma and Aria home, the family of three returned to their house.
The following day, Drake and Sophia went to work as usual. Much to Sophia's surprise, Rashad called her during office hours.
"Busy, Sophia?"
"Not really. What's up?"
"I'm too idle, so I want to visit your company. Will I interrupt you?"
"Are you kidding me, Rashad?"
"Of course not."
"Are you on the way to my company?"
"I've arrived at the entrance."
"Why don't you tell the front desk and enter?"
"They've never seen me before. I don't think they'll let me in. That's why I'm calling you."
"OK. Wait for me. I'll go pick you up."
Sophia ended the call and walked out of her office.
When she returned, Rashad was with her.
On the way, Sophia talked about her company with him and showed him around. They chatted and laughed all the way, attracting others' attention.
"Who is that man? He looks close to Ms. Lawson."
"Haven't you got used to it? Ms. Lawson is such an outstanding businesswoman. Of course, she's attractive to handsome guys."
"He's not as handsome as Mr. Riley."
"Bullshit! They are the same handsome with different styles. When Mr. Riley stands there, you'll feel stressed. However, this man is more easygoing."
Sophia took Rashad into her office and asked her assistant to make him coffee.
Rashad sat down, his gaze sweeping around. "Your company looks good," he remarked.
"I didn't start working until recently. Chloe has helped me a lot."
