Revenge Of The Billionaire Girl
Chapter 80 Drake, What Do You Want?

But Harris didn't notice what happened to them. He said with a smile, "Okay. Now, the ribbon-cutting ceremony begins!"

They started to cut the ribbon with scissors in their hand.

Harris called Sophia when she was about to leave, "Ms. Lawson, we need to take a group picture!"

Taking a group picture?

Yep, a group picture was to be taken after the ribbon-cutting.

But this time she had to stand beside Drake.

There was some space between Sophia and Drake. The photographer said, "Ms. Lawson, Mr. Riley, you two need to stand closer to each other." Sophia moved a little bit closer.

"Closer."

The photographer was speechless. Though Sophia moved a little bit, from his angle, the distance between Sophia and Drake was still the same. "Ms. Lawson..."

When the photographer was about to say something, Drake reached out his hand and put his arm around her shoulder. "Alright, take it now!" He then whispered in Sophia's ear when she was about to struggle, "Keep doing it if you want everyone's eyes on us."

Sophia didn't dare to move again.

What was worse, Drake exhaled hot breath on her ear, making her cheeks redden.

Luckily, the group picture was taken quickly. Then Sophia hurriedly walked down the step, but she was not steady on her feet and almost fell. "Sophia!" Chloe shouted over there.

Then Drake carried Sophia in his arms.

Everyone was looking at them. Harris smiled. "Wow, a hero comes to a beauty's rescue!"

The others echoed, "Yep, Mr. Riley is cute and Ms Lawson is gorgeous! What a good match."

"I've heard that you are both single. Why not try to date?"

Sophia was a little bit embarrassed. She stretched out her hand to hit Drake, "Drake, put me down."

He ignored her and kept walking forward in strides, "You can't walk easily in high heels. I got you."

"No need!" Sophia tried to struggle a few times.

"If you move again, I might throw you on the floor."

Sophia would rather be thrown on the ground than be carried by him. It was so embarrassing being watched by so many people.

"Be a good girl, all right?"

Drake stopped her.

Surprisingly, after what Drake said it, Sophia stayed put and let him carry her down the steps.

Her face blushed.

Drake ignored others' gazes and said directly to Harris, "Well, since it's done here, we should leave." "Sure."

Harris didn't ask them to stay as he knew they all had other work.

Sophia had struggled a few times in vain so she turned to look at Chloe for help.

But Chloe was stopped by Bailey and Flynn.

"Drake, what do you want?"

Drake put her into his car. He checked her bruised face and touched it slightly. Then he asked, "Feeling better?"

Sophia dodged his hand unconsciously.

So, it still hurt.

Sophia didn't reply. She was indeed hurt when Cecelia threw the bank card in her face that day. Thus, up to now, the bruise on her face hadn't faded. Well, it did look bad.

"Why didn't you dodge it then?"

Sophia laughed. "Drake, are you kidding me? Dodge? How? If I could, why hadn't I? Do you think I asked for it?"

That made sense.

"By the way, I don't need you to care about me. Get out of my way. I gotta get back to work." Sophia was about to get off the car when she said it. But Drake stopped her from doing so.

Sophia had to open the car door on the other side and got off.

This time Drake didn't stop her.

Chloe ran over and asked nervously, "Did he do something to you?"

"Nope, let's go." Then they got into their car.

Chloe took a look at Drake, Flynn and Bailey when she left.

Flynn looked at Drake with a confused look. "Drake, what were you thinking? Do you wanna get back together with her or just move on?" Drake curled his lips and said, "Even if I want to, do you think my family will agree? And is she willing?"

He didn't care about what others thought. He only cared about her...

Drake could sense how much he repulsed her.

"You might as well just move on while you can."

Well, Drake had been telling himself this, too. But how could he really move on?

Word got out that Ronan was shut out from show business. Basically everyone in business world had known it.

Chloe looked at Sophia. "What is Drake thinking about? Why did he shut Ronan out of the show business? Did he wanna rekindle old affairs with you?" "Even if he wants to, I don't," Sophia said without hesitation.

"But, Sophia, your mind is not shaken at all?"

Even a hardhearted person would be touched by what Drake had done, let alone Sophia. Besides, Chloe felt that Sophia never forgot about Drake.

"To be honest, you should try to date if you two still love each other. I feel it sad looking at you two torment each other."

"His family wouldn't allow us to be together."

Chloe took a glance at Sophia resignedly. "That's because they don't know your true identity. I can assure you the Old Riley will regret it if he knows the truth."

Sophia looked at Chloe. "Even so, you think that's what I want?"

Of course, Sophia wanted more than that.

At that time, Sophia went to Amerosia for further study with a fake identity because she wanted to experience how it felt to live as a common person. She had to admit that common people lived a seemingly happy yet hard life. "What are you gonna do then? Be alone forever?"

"I don't know yet."

Chloe could tell that Sophia had lost the courage to love someone else. But Chloe thought she wouldn't do better when she put herself in Sophia's shoes.

Around off-duty time, Travis called and asked Sophia out for dinner as he had to come here on a business trip.

Sophia agreed.

She said with a smile, "Chloe, you and Helena should come."

Helena had not met Travis since she came to Sealand. They were all from Pinkerton but had been working on their careers when they grew older. Meeting each other had become the most difficult thing for them. Besides, Travis wasn't a young boy anymore. He had to date someone and get married.

Chloe soon got the point and said with a smile, "Okay! We'll be there tonight."

Bard was scared to death when he heard that his elder brother Travis was coming over.

"Shit! Travis will definitely give me a lecture again if he sees me. Sophia, could you just tell him I have to work tonight and can't come?"
