Noah looked at Sophia expectantly.
Sophia didn't want to disappoint Noah, but she was really unwilling to do so. However, Noah looked at her with an entreating expression.
She had to agree helplessly.
"All right. Look here."
The waitress let them pose like they were in love, and Sophia refused.
The waitress convinced her, "Miss, please be cooperative. It's our restaurant's promotion. After taking a few photos, you can return to your table with the gift. I promise the photos will not be exposed."
Her words relieved Sophia.
Sophia put on a polite smile and took photos.
"Thank you both. Here is your gift."
Sophia and Noah took the gift box over, in which there were two matching mugs. Sophia shoved it in Noah's hands directly after a glance. "For you. I don't need it."
Noah watched her return to their table, his eyes full of sorrow.
He knew Sophia had never thought of becoming his girlfriend, but he didn't expect her to be so rational. She was even unwilling to act to be his girlfriend.
Noah couldn't force her to take the mug.
On the other side, Cecelia received their photos with a triumphant smile.
She sent them to a reporter to release a piece of news online. Then the news notification was sent to Drake's phone.
Meanwhile, Drake had an urgent meeting. Although his phone had been mute, its screen lit up when the notification was received.
He saw a line. "Mr. Riley's first love will get married soon."
Drake quickly tapped to check. All people in the meeting room could instantly feel the chill from him.
What was going on?
The senior executive who was giving a presentation panicked.
Had he made a mistake? He cast a glance at his coworkers for help.
Others were also puzzled. Shortly after, they all received the news notification on the phone and secretly tapped to read.
When they saw the photos of Sophia having dinner with another man, they looked at Drake subconsciously.
"What are you looking at? Continue!"
Drake smashed his phone on the table as he spoke.
Everyone felt horrified.
The low pressure in the meeting room suffocated them.
Sophia also read the news soon. After all, the notification popped on everyone's phone. Although her name wasn't mentioned, all people knew Drake's first love was her. Sophia was puzzled by the title.
She was enjoying dessert with her friends and wasn't impacted by this event.
Sophia walked in, smashed her handbag onto the table, and sat opposite the waitress.
The waitress looked at her with her friend, who looked scared when she saw Sophia.
When the waitress saw Sophia, she was surprised as she didn't expect to be found so quickly.
"Tell me. Why did you set me up?"
The waitress asked in confusion, "When did I set you up?"
"Stop acting. You are not good at it."
The waitress didn't expect Sophia to be such a tough nut to crack.
After she had done everything, the woman who asked her to do it reminded her to leave the restaurant ASAP.
Otherwise, she would be doomed after the woman named Sophia Lawson found her.
Thinking of that, the waitress stopped acting. "I know why you are here. I need to use the bathroom. We can talk later."
"Use the bathroom? Want to flee?" Sophia read her mind immediately.
"What are you talking about? I only want to answer nature's call," the waitress retorted, feeling guilty.
"I don't think it necessary. I don't understand. We've never met before. Why did you set me up? Who asked you to do so?"
