Chapter 492 Your cousin is so much like an angelic bitch
Sophia was more worried about Rashad, of course. Seeing that the man had disappeared, she went back to Rashad.
"Rashad, let's go to the nearest hospital to get your wound dressed!"
"Alright!"
While Sophia was waiting for Rashad in the hospital, Drake called.
"Everyone is here. Where are you? What's up?"
"There was a sudden accident. I'll be there right away!"
Drake got worried. "What happened?"
"Nothing serious. I'll tell you later!"
"Alright!"
Sophia hung up the phone. Rashad's wound had been dressed. He walked up to her and asked, "Is Drake getting impatient?"
"Not really. By the way, Rashad, why were you there just now!"
Rashad said calmly, "I passed by after getting off work. I saw that the lights in your office were still on, so I guessed you haven't left yet."
"I wanted to go in, but you came out. I was about to say hello but then I notice a weird guy."
"I wasn't sure what he was planning to do, so I didn't talk to you first. But, Sophia, it's too dangerous for you to be outside alone so late. Ask Drake to pick you up next time."
"I see. Well, Rashad, thank you for what you've done just now!"
Rashad smiled. "It's no biggie. If Drake can wait, would you like to have dinner with me before going back?"
Sophia said apologetically. "I am afraid I can't because Travis... Oh, you haven't had dinner, right? Why not join us?"
"You mean Travis is here?"
Sophia nodded.
"I haven't seen him for a long time. Would it be too abrupt if I go there?"
Sophia wouldn't take him there in other cases. But today he saved her life, and according to him, he hadn't had dinner yet. Thus, she should take him to dinner in return.
"It's okay. Let's go!"
...
When Sophia entered the room, Chloe stood up and spoke. "Sophia, what's wrong? You proposed the get-together dinner and now you are late..."
Before she finished speaking, she noticed the person following Sophia, and she asked in confusion, "Sophia, why is he here?"
The look in Rashad's eyes changed.
Everyone saw him but none seemed to be glad to see him there.
Sophia knew that they would blame her, so she explained, "Just now when I was getting on the car, a robber wanted to attack me. Rashad saved me and got injured because of this. He hasn't had dinner, so I take him here."
Rashad knew what they were thinking about, but he kept smiling. "I'm sorry to bother you!"
Chloe rolled her eyes as if to say, "Why did you come here then?"
Travis stood up. "Since you saved my sister, take a seat. Let's eat together!"
Rashad smiled and stretched out his hand. "Mr. Lawson, it's been a long time. I didn't expect that we would meet in such a way after so many years."
Travis shook hands with him. "Come on, sit down. Let's start eating!"
Rashad was not angry. He withdrew his hand with a gentle smile on his face.
Rashad was sitting next to Sophia while Drake was on the other side of Sophia.
Sophia glanced at Drake secretly, and asked in a low voice, "Are you angry?"
"I dare not!"
Sophia was confused.
Why was he being sarcastic?
Many people were in the room, Flynn, Bailey, Chloe, Aria, Paul, and of course, Drake, Sophia, Rashad, Helena, and Travis too.
Aria smiled and spoke. "This is a tradition, right? My brother and Bailey both treated us to dinner before. Now it's Travis' turn. So next time, my Paul, it's your turn!"
Paul blushed hearing the way she called him.
Chloe burst out laughing, "Your Paul? That sounds kind of cute!"
Aria grabbed Paul's arm with a proud face. "Yea! That's my Paul."
"I am so envious!"
Although Chloe said so, she was relieved to see that Aria and Paul were doing good.
Paul had never eaten at the same table with so many distinguished people. Inevitably, he got nervous.
Aria's words were a good starter of conversation. Soon, people started chatting.
They all stayed in Sealand for a long time, and therefore had a lot of common topics. Rashad couldn't really fit in.
He would be lying if he said that he wasn't upset.
Rashad, however, took the initiative to talk to Chloe. "Chloe, I remember that you were very good at sports. I guess the baby you are carrying will get this talent from you too."
Everybody liked nice words. Chloe was put in a good mood for talking.
"I know! At that time, I was not good at studying, unlike Sophia who was a straight A student. Helena was talented in literature and art, while I spent my time on sports. "
"You are being humble. I remember you won a trophy for our school as long as there was a sporting contest. You were really amazing."
"Yeah, I thought so at that time!"
Chloe felt nothing, but Bailey looked at her angrily.
Flynn, who sat beside Drake, whispered, "Your cousin is so much like an angelic bitch."
"He could be more like it! You haven't seen it yet." Drake responded in a low voice.
Rashad, as expected, looked at Helena beside him. "By the way, Helena, I remember that you also won a lot of honor for our school back then."
Helena, whose name was suddenly called, subconsciously looked at Travis.
Travis said, "Mr. Witt, you have a quite good memory."
"You're flattering me, Mr. Lawson. I remember that you went to watch every contest. At that moment we all thought you were present because of Sophia. Now I recall it. I guess you have fallen in love with Helena at that time. Am I right?"
Chloe, who was carefree, joined the dialogue, "Yes, I remembered Travis was the most frequent viewer of our contests. We had thought you were present because of Sophia back then."
Helena recalled the past and looked at Travis.
Travis admitted it directly. "You're right. I was present not for Sophia, but Helena."
