"What if I disguised myself to be a man?"
Sophia replied confidently, "It's impossible. A man and a woman are quite different in their body figures."
"Ha-ha! You did study me carefully, Ms. Lawson. Please take a seat."
Sophia calmly sat down.
"I've ordered dishes. Ms. Lawson, are you willing to drink with me?"
Sophia didn't feel offended. "Of course. It's my pleasure."
A waiter served the dishes and the wine. It turned out the King of the Underworld had ordered the same dishes for them.
Sophia was confused. The King of the Underworld had agreed to meet her, but he still didn't plan to let her see his face.
She wondered if that was his plan in the beginning.
"You must be wondering why I don't meet you face to face after agreeing on our appointment, right?"
Sophia was taken aback as she hadn't expected him to read her mind, wondering if the King of the Underworld was telepathic.
"Exactly. I don't think you are sincere enough to meet me."
The King of the Underworld chuckled, "Ms. Lawson, this is my first time agreeing to meet someone in person. Since I never want to tell others who I am, I'll never disclose my appearance to others."
"From your words, I can tell you must be someone I know."
Drake froze. He knew his wife was intelligent, but much to his surprise, she captured the keywords easily.
"You are right. You know me."
Sophia's heart tightened. She looked at his shadow in disbelief.
Although she couldn't see his face through the screen, his words had made her deadly curious.
'Who the earth is he? Drake?'
Sophia denied her thought again.
The faces of Flynn, Bailey, and Rashad flashed through her mind.
She could accept either Flynn or Bailey as King of the Underworld. However, when she thought it might be Rashad, her face darke
"I want to know why you've agreed to meet me."
"I've never helped anyone out of kindness. Ms. Lawson, you are special to me. I've helped you a few times without asking for anything. I know you must want to repay me. Thus, I agreed to meet you."
Sophia clenched her fists tightly. "Well, now you've seen me in person. What requests do you have?"
"Requests?" The King of the Underworld chuckled, "You want to repay my kindness, don't you? I'm curious to know how you'll do it."
Sophia admitted, "You are right. I want to repay your kindness, but I don't know who you are and what you want. I hope you can give me some hints."
"Do you mean I can name any requirements I want?"
Sophia drawled, "Sure, as long as they won't be against morality."
"Not against morality? That's too difficult. I like you, Ms. Lawson..."
Sophia smashed her glass onto the table.
"Please behave yourself, Mister. I'm married. Stop joking like that."
"What if I'm not joking?"
"Impossible!" Sophia's face was full of anger.
"I heard your husband, Drake Riley, had been removed from the Riley Group. Although he could gain the annual dividends, you should find another man who suits you better. Why is it impossible?"
