Revenge On My First Love novel Chapter 297

Sophia was speechless.

The clients were surprised, "What? Miss Lawson doesn't want to marry you yet, Mr. Riley? She must be the only woman to say no to your proposal!"

"Ha-ha, I think, Mr. Riley needs to work harder!"

Sophia had wanted to say something, but seeing that their responses eased the awkwardness, she didn't say anything more.

During lunch, they were still talking about work, but Drake didn't ignore her and talked to her from time to time.

Maybe because Sophia was a businesswoman, those clients would join in the conversation with her.

They had a pleasant meal.

After lunch, the four clients left, and Sophia was about to go back to work when Drake grabbed her hand, "Have I allowed you to leave?"

Sophia checked the time on her watch, "I need to start work soon."

"We haven't had time to be alone, and yet you want to leave so soon?"

Sophia looked at him resignedly, "I shouldn't have come at all."

"How dare you not come!"

Sophia felt that he was really childish now and had a headache.

"I have work to do as well, but I want to spend time with you more."

"You can spend time with me at night."

"But I gotta sleep at night and I can't watch you all the time."

Sophia smiled and said resignedly, "So... you miss me that much?"

"Don't you miss me?"

Why was he so clingy? Sophia recalled what he had said when they were in university -- "Though we're not in the same department, I want to see you anytime. You should go meet me right after classes are over."

Even after all these years and all those things, he didn't change at all.

"Drake, has anyone ever said that you're very clingy?"

"I am only clingy to you."

"So, should I feel honored?"

"Shouldn't you?"

Fine!

Sophia didn't want to retort upon him.

"Come on, let me kiss you!" Then he put his hands around her slender waist.

They were on the street and he wanted to kiss her now?

As if reading her mind, he asked, "Why can't I kiss my girlfriend on the street? Why should I kiss you only when we are in private spaces?"

That was weirdly reasonable.

However, Sophia knew that if she didn't let him kiss her, he might do something even weirder.

So, she kissed him.

Drake was pleased, and then deepened the kiss.

After a long while, he finally let go of her.

"I hate to see you go, but I can't keep you here. Go, I will see you off."

"And you'll go back to work after that?"

"Yeah!"

Fine. There was nothing Sophia could say now.

When they arrived at Sophia's company, Drake kissed her again on her forehead before he reluctantly left.

Sophia watched his back and chuckled. What a cute man!

When Sophia went back to the office, Chloe walked up to her like a gossipy girl, "Sophia, I heard that Rodneycame to you again."

"He won't give up until he achieves his goal."

Chloe nodded, "But I don't quite understand. Since he is Spencer's man, why didn't they film what had happened at noon and post it online to sabotage your reputation?"

Sophia smiled, "If they make that move, it will alert me and Drake, and Drake will kick Rodney out of my company and that's not what Spencer wants."

"So, they would not post it. On the contrary, they would cover it up for Rodney so that he could keep doing what he's doing."

Chloe was enlightened and cursed, "What a cunning man!"

"It's okay. I am not afraid of him."

Chloe looked at her sympathetically, "Sophia, it's so tough for you!"

"It's okay. Rodney is just a foolishly confident man, he's easy to deal with."

The news that Rodney had been pursuing Sophia had spread in the company and Spencer must have heard about it.

When he met Sophia, he said calmly, "Mr. Lawson, I'm really sorry. I know you two knew each other before, but I didn't expect he would..."

Was he playing dumb? Sophia could play dumb, too.

"It's nothing. Although Rodney has a bad character, he has brought us a lot of incomes. You have a wise judgement in talents, Mr. Porter."

"I am really sorry to hear that. I have told him before that he should behave himself at work. But he told me he really loves you and I..."

Spencer looked embarrassed.

"It's not a big deal, Mr. Porter, don't take it personally. I can handle it."

"Sorry to cause you trouble."

As Spencer said, he kept observing the expression on Sophia's face.

However, she didn't reveal any negative expression that he was hoping to see at all. Sophia was really a tough enemy.

But he wasn't anxious at all. He was sure he could find a way one day.

After saying a few more words, Spencer left.

When Rodney appeared in front of Sophia again, he carried a banquet of flowers and walked towards her with a ingratiating look on his face.

"Sophia, this banquet is for you. Do you like it?"

Sophia ignored him and kept walking.

Rodney didn't give up and followed her, "Sophia, look at me. I know you don't like grand gestures in front of so many people, it's okay. We can go somewhere quiet and you can do whatever you want to me."

Sophia was speechless.

This man was a rare weirdo!

"I got 11 roses for you, representing my eternal love for you."

Sophia felt like puking.

Suddenly, she stopped walking.

Rodney looked at her with a smile, "Sophia, I knew you would fall for me! No one can stop me from loving you!"

"Can't I?"

Drake's appearance surprised both Rodney and Sophia.

Although Sophia had known Drake would run into Rodney sooner or later, she didn't expect it to be so soon.

When Rodney saw Drake again, he could feel the pressure from him. Back then, in university, when he met Drake, he was scared by Drake and his fear of Drake only grew after all those years.

He wanted to flee!

But he couldn't!

"It's you?"
