Lily said calmly, "I was too embarrassed to call you, but I would be really happy if you could come and hang out with me from time to time."
Although Emma and Sophia knew Lily was lying, they didn't nail her lie.
"Call me at any time. When I just came back to Sealand, I didn't have any friends as well. I understand how boring it could be"
They began talking.
But they were actually on pins and needles.
After they talked for some time, someone came home.
Drake walked in from the outside. When he saw Sophia, Emma, and Lily in conversation, he smiled.
Although he raised no objection to Sophia's promise to Rashad that she would visit Lily often, it bothered him a lot.
Just now, someone sent him an anonymous message, telling him to come back home and have a look.
Drake knew that the anonymous sender just wanted him to come back and see how close Sophia and Lily were.
He didn't have to investigate to know who sent him the message.
But now that he had come back, he didn't mind taking a photo and sending it to Rashad.
Sophia turned her head and saw Drake, "Drake, why are you here? Shouldn't you be in the company now?"
Drake said, "Someone wanted me to come home; I couldn't let him down."
Everyone knew who he was referring to.
Lily hadn't had time to inform Rashad, so he didn't know what was happening. She said calmly, "Rashad told you to come home, didn't he? He's always worried about me. Just tell him I'm fine."
Drake recorded her words and sent it to Rashad.
He came over. "It's okay, Lily. I'm not so busy with work recently. Rashad is talented in business and management. He has helped me a lot. I have much time to visit you now."
He believed Lily could understand the hidden meaning of his words.
"You overestimate him. He doesn't know much. He's only good at operating computers. As he has just started in business, he has a lot to learn. Besides, it's your grandfather who wants him to run the company, so he'll do his best not to disappoint your grandfather."
Drake smiled, "Lily, you know very little about my cousin. After a day's observation, I can see he's very talented. After all, as a member of the Riley family, he's supposed to be very clever.
Lily suddenly did not know what to say. After a long while, she said, "Drake, you have a lot more experience in business while he's a rookie. I'd appreciate it if you could help him out.
"Of course I will."
They were all very clever with what they said.
As for Rashad, he had been looking at the surveillance video. He could see Sophia, Emma and hear Drake's words. Things seemed to be out of control.
It seemed that his plans had been seen through.
However, Rashad still sent a message, "Sorry, Drake, I was a hacker and used to sending anonymous messages. I will change this bad habit of mine."
