Chapter 13 Drake, I Owe You Nothing
However, Drake was getting closer and closer, and their bodies were about to cling to each other.
Trying to keep calm, Sophia asked, "So, are you avenging your fiancée?"
"It's business between us. Do not mention those irrelevant people," Drake said, getting on top of her.
Why was he so tall? He seemed even heavier than before.
"Mr. Riley, I will call the police!"
Drake smiled, but his smile was cold.
"Since you have said so, I should do something to do to make it true, shouldn't I?"
His hand was already on her collar, as if to unbutton her clothes.
Sophia was shocked.
Did he mean it?
Drake was stunned for a moment. He had thought Sophia had slept with a lot of men for money. Why did she look scared when he touched her?
Sophia had grabbed an empty vase and hit it hard at his head.
Drake was dumbfounded.
Sophia took the chance to push him away and ran quickly to the door.
But just as she ran for a while, she stopped and turned to look at him.
Drake was sitting on the ground and touching his head which was bleeding.
Now he looked like a criminal that broke into her room and tried to rape her.
"Sophia!"
Sophia had wanted to run when Drake called her. "Do you want me to call the police over and arrest you?"
Sophia did not know what went wrong. She was almost raped! It was self-defense instead of a criminal! But seeing his bleeding head, she couldn't help walking back to him.
"I will take you to the hospital!" Sophia helped him up.
It wasn't very serious, in fact. But when Drake stood up, all his weight was on Sophia.
Why was he so heavy?
When Sophia finally brought Drake out of the apartment, she had wanted to leave him to the staff here. After all, she did not know how serious it was. But when she walked out, there was no one here. Therefore, she managed to get him into the car and drove to the hospital.
Without being noticed by Sophia, Drake secretly sent a message to the real estate manager. "All of you will be given a salary raise for this."
In the Sales Department, everyone was cheerful upon getting the news.
Sophia finally got him to the hospital. After some physical checkup, she confirmed with the doctor again and again, "Doctor, are you sure he's fine?"
"Yes. He has to be careful not to get the wound infected."
Sophia was finally relieved. In that case, she would not be suspected of committing a criminal.
Back to the ward again, Sophia remained expressionless. "Well, since you are alright and I have paid the medical expenses. I need to leave now."
Her wrist was grabbed.
Drake pointed at the wound on his head, "How do you think I should explain this to my employees or family?"
Sophia was rendered speechless. "In a way that pleases you! Of course, you can also tell them that you were hit because you attempted to rape a woman. I don't care!"
It was ridiculous. She was kind enough to send him here.
"Drake, I don't owe you anything anymore, goodbye!" said Sophia, who then walked away.
Drake smiled with self-mockery. What was he thinking? Did he think she was still Sophia he used to know? Who would shed tears seeing him hurt?
Sophia soon moved to her new apartment. Although she had said in front of Drake that she would open a door in between the two apartments, she didn't intend to do so. She lived alone, so one apartment was big enough.
In her apartment.
Sophia was Facetiming with her friends. "Guys! My apartment is big! You can come stay in one of these rooms for as long as you want if you need a place to stay or just want to hang with me! I won't charge you!"
"Thank you for your generosity!" Chloe rolled her eyes. "You have that much money and you were charging us? Shame on you!"
"By the way, you haven't paid me the 20 grand you owe me!"
Sophia squinted at them, "Consider your money gone forever! I am not paying you back, honey!"
"Sophia, you are indeed the biggest profiteer in the world! Just so you know, I don't mind taking an apartment instead if you don't have any money to pay me back," Chloe was amused and spoke.
Sophia sighed, "Alas, I had wanted to buy a car for myself and you, since you want this apartment, the car..."
"Stop there!" Chloe immediately understood. "Are you going to buy me a car?"
"Helena, you want one?"
"I'd love to have a new car!"
"Twenty minutes later, see you in the 4S store!"
Sophia didn't have to do any shopping. There was all necessary stuff she needed in the apartments. After putting the clothes in the wardrobe, she left the apartment.
By the time Sophia arrived at the 4S store, Chloe and Helena were already waiting for her.
Sophia looked at them with a smile, "You came so fast? It seems you two really want the car! Normally when we were hanging out, you would at least keep me waiting for half an hour!"
Chloe smiled, "That's not the same! I came here for you! The car is your generous gift!"
"Speaking of gifts," Sophia reached out her hand, "Don't you have gifts for me? I have just moved to a new apartment!"
Chloe and Helena looked at each other, and they each took out an envelope at the same time. "Happy moving!"
Sophia took them and opened them. There were two credit cards in there.
"Thank you! Come! Let's buy you cars!"
"Let's go!"
The three walked in.
There were a lot of 4S stores here and they could see all kinds of luxury cars.
They started looking at the cars.
Fortunately, they had known something about cars, so they knew what they wanted to buy.
Besides, Sophia would pay the bill. Chloe said, "Sophia, can I pick whatever car I like?"
Sophia retorted, "Now you are being polite with me?"
Helena had taken a fancy to a car, but unlike ordinary cars which had fixed configurations for the customers to choose, luxury cars offered different choices for each configuration. Thus, a specific price would be given by the buyer only after the client made choices for each configuration.
Soon, they had decided on which car they wanted.
Chloe was a little impatient. "Is there any car I could just drive away? I don't want to make a choice."
"There is one, but..."
"But I'm going to buy it."
Just then, two people came in from outside.
Chloe looked over, "Oh, what a small world! You two again?"
Aria pointed her finger at Chloe, "What's that attitude of yours? How annoying you three are! Why are you everywhere?"
