Revenge On My First Love
Chapter 270 Roman Applied for the Job

"Money makes the mare go."

That was true.

Sophia sat down, "You have saved me a lot of time. Thank you, Drake!"

"I want to hear you call my hubby."

Sophia suddenly blushed, "Stop it!"

"I'm serious!"

"I won't!"

"It's not like you haven't done it before."

Yes, back in university, Drake had managed to have her call him hubby.

But after all these years, she couldn't do it now.

"I won't!"

"It's okay. I know how to make you do it." Drake was in no rush.

Sophia knew what he meant and her face turned redder.

"By the way, I have done so much for you. Shouldn't you repay me?"

Sophia rolled her eyes at him, "How could you say that? I can repay you if I want but you can't ask me to do so. Besides, I didn't ask you to do this, you did it in your own will. What does it have to do with me?" "Hey!" Drake didn't know what to say now, "You heartless woman!"

"Fine, what do you want? Say it!" Sophia didn't like to owe anyone anything, even if it was Drake.

"I have no boxers. Buy me some tonight."

Sophia was out of words.

She didn't expect that.

"Don't you have someone buying clothes for you?"

"I have you now. Besides, it's something rather private. You know my size, I will be waiting for the boxers you buy for me tonight."

Sophia was speechless.

She really wanted to punch him right now.

Although Drake hung up soon, Sophia was still blushing.

When Chloe walked in, although she noticed it, she didn't ask since she came for something else, "Sophia, Roman's here."

Sophia looked up, "What is he here for?"

"Don't know."

As soon as Chloe finished speaking, Roman came in.

He followed a secretary here, "I'm sorry, Ms. Lawson. Mr. Riley didn't..."

"It's okay. You may leave now."

"Yes, Ms. Lawson."

After all, Sophia was new here and the secretary had been worried she might be replaced or fired.

Roman had noticed Chloe here. He didn't like her. This woman was a stumbling block in his way to pursue Sophia.

But he couldn't ask her to leave, since she was Sophia's friend.

"Master Roman, what can I do you for?"

Roman handed her his resume, "I'm here to apply for your assistant."

Sophia glanced at it but didn't take it, "I can't afford to hire you, Master Roman. You are the heir to the Riley family."

"Sophia, I know you need help now. This company is not founded by you and you need men on your side. There are several forces here. You need your men inserted in this company to stabilize your position." Sophia showed him the several contracts, "That's not for you to worry. I have received cooperation contracts from the Riley family, the Price family, the Duncan family, my own family and the Greenspan family, the Thomas family and the Warburg family. I suppose the executives here will respect me for the sake of them."

If they were just contracts from normal families, the executives wouldn't care. But it was rare that all the prominent families would reach cooperation with this company all at once.

Roman took a look at the contracts and was surprised. He had thought he could help Sophia, but it seemed he came here too late.

Then he thought of something, "But Sophia, that's just help from outside the company. You need help inside the company and I think I'm a perfect choice."

"I do need my men working here, but don't worry, I have found good choices."

Roman turned his head, "You mean, Ms. Thomas?"

"Not only her."

Sophia had hired a lot of people who had been working in other companies. When she came, she brought them.

She was not that stupid as to come alone.

"So, you don't need me at all?"

Sophia nodded, "I have never needed you."

"It's okay. You don't have to pay me. I just want to help."

"Thanks, but no."

Roman was out of words.

Finally, he got a chance to be close to her. Did he have to give up like this?

"Sophia, I..."

"Chloe, see him out."

Sophia was out of patience and said.

Chloe had wanted to ask Roman out, but she didn't do so.

Roman knew that he couldn't force Sophia. Since she had turned him down, he'd better leave. Maybe there would be something else he could help her with one day.

As soon as Roman left, Sophia called Noah instead of getting down to business.

"Sophia, what a pleasant surprise!"

Sophia ignored the sarcasm and said, "Noah, I'm calling to thank you for the order. I owe you one."

Noah was silent for a while. "Sophia, we are friends."

"I know. But I owe you and I will keep it in mind."

Noah smiled, "I guess you must have received a lot of orders today and I'm the only one you called to thank, right?"

Sophia didn't answer. He knew her surprisingly well.

"I had always been worried we would become estranged if I told you my feelings for you. I was right."

Seeing that she still didn't answer, Noah continued, "Sophia, I didn't want anything in return. I just want to help you when you are in need. I know Drake's help would be more than enough. I just couldn't help wanting to do something for you."

"You can take it or refuse, but you can't stop me from doing it."

There was nothing Sophia could say.

"Okay. I see."

A while later, Noah asked, "When are you coming home?"

Sophia didn't know how to answer.

"I know the answer already. You won't come back any time soon."

"Noah, don't waste your time on me. It's not worth it."

"It's not your call, but mine."

Sophia was silent again.

"Okay now. If there's nothing else, I need to go."

Putting down her phone, Sophia noticed that Chloe had been here for a long while, "Sophia, I don't think you should feel you owe him anything. There's no need."
