Chapter 1 Hey, You Look a Lot Like My Ex-boyfriend
Chapter 1 Hey, You Look a Lot Like My Ex-boyfriend
"Are you all right, Sophia? Shall I go with you?" Chloe Thomas asked worriedly, standing at the door of
a premium KTV suite in Sealand. Her bestie, Sophia Lawson, was almost hammered after drinking.
"No, thanks. I'll go to the bathroom. I'm not drunk. Enjoy yourselves."
Sophia flicked her hand, held the wall, and staggered out of the suite. She wore a black dress that fully
expressed her gorgeous body figure.
Exhaling, she had to admit those people were good at drinking.
The suite's restroom was occupied, so she had to use the public one outside.
After coming out of the ladies' room, Sophia looked baffled, wondering about the suite's number.
She studied the numbers and doors carefully but failed to see any difference, so she randomly walked
to one of them.
When she pushed the door open, she found colorful neon lights sparkling in the dark room. Sophia was
too drunk to see things clearly. Her eyes blurred.
To cover her awkwardness, she grabbed a liquor bottle and yelled to others, "Come on! Let's make a
toast!"
Other people in the suite gaped at her in confusion.
'Who is she?'
However, Flynn Price recognizes her.
"Drake, isn't she..."
The man elegantly sitting in the center emanated an icy aura, although the room temperature had been
low enough earlier.
Once Sophia appeared in the suite, he recognized her.
Seeing nobody move, Sophia circled while holding the liquor bottle and asked, "Why don't you drink?
Are you afraid of getting drunk?"
Suddenly, her gaze fell on a charming man. As if she was sure he could drink with her, Sophia kicked
away the legs in her way, swinging toward him.
Then she naturally sat next to Drake Riley.
The atmosphere became tense.
Drake smelt her familiar scent that he had missed for many years.
Although he looked calm, no one could tell how hard he was repressing his surged emotions.
Approaching him closer, Sophia faintly saw a familiar face. Her gaze trailed from his handsome
eyebrows, intense eyes, straight nose bridge, and perfect lips. He was a cold, self-restrained man.
Suddenly, she raised his chin with a perfect outline with her index finger, stared at him, and remarked,
"Gee... You look like my ex-boyfriend."
Flynn's lips twitched, wondering if Sophia was drunk or faked it.
Holding Drake's face, Sophia studied him carefully. The man in her memories used all possible means
to break up with her three years ago.
First, he asked his mother to give her a check. Later, he let all his family and relatives bully her. Even
his servants and maids insulted her.
Besides, it turned out he had a fiancee. However, he pursued Sophia and lied to her that he would only
marry her all his life.
The thought sent Sophia into a rage. She slapped the man across his face.
"You scumbag, Drake Riley!"
Seemingly she hadn't vented her anger. The next second, she poured the bear in her glass onto
Drake's head. Soon, the yellowish liquid stained his gorgeous face.
Others gaped at the scene. Drake was the wealthiest man in Sealand. After taking over his family's Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
company, he had already monopolized Sealand's economic lifelines in three years.
He only had a fiancee. No other women dared to approach him. Those who boldly hit on him ended up
miserably.
Therefore, others covered their eyes, having no courage to watch the next scene.
Sophia overlooked Drake's deadly gaze on her. She pulled out some cash from her handbag with
difficulty and tossed it onto his face.
"Think you are awesome because you are rich? Think you can bully me, huh? I just hit you. This is the
compensation."
She tossed all the cash with coins onto Drake's face as she spoke.
Then she sighed a breath in relief, feeling relaxed.
Sophia picked up a glass on the table and took a sip in satisfaction. Waving them goodbye, she said,
"Girls, boys, have fun. I'm super happy today. Please excuse me. See you."
Then she swung out of the suite delightfully as if she had experienced something joyous.
The suit was blanketed by pin-drop silence.
No one dared to check on Drake, wishing they were blind.
Drake clenched his fists tightly. 'Bravo, Sophia Lawson! It's been three years. You impressed me.'
The next morning, Sophia was woken up by the ringing tone of her phone. She felt a slight migraine
from the hangover the previous night.
"Why are you calling me so early, Chloe? I'm still sleeping."
"My princess, you've offended Drake Riley, the demon of Sealand. How can you still be in the mood to
sleep?"
Sophia almost stopped breathing.
"What did you say? Who did I offend?"
"The demon of Sealand, Drake Riley." Chloe couldn't explain to her in detail. "Sweetheart, do you have
enough money? If not, I can lend some to you. Buy a flight ticket and run away. Hurry!"
'Drake Riley?'
Sophia wondered if she had seen him the previous night.
"You don't have time now, girl." Chloe ended the call.
Shortly after, she wired Sophia 4,000 dollars.
Before Sophia rang the bell, she heard the doorbell ring, thinking it must be her older brother.
Therefore, she didn't change her lace nightgown but put on the slippers before opening the door.
A tall, sturdy man was standing outside. She gaped at his familiar look, overwhelmed by his mint scent.
It wasn't her older brother but Drake.
When she returned to her senses and was about to slam the door shut, Drake entered her house,
trapping her against his chest and the wall. His eagle-sharp eyes were fixed on her in jest, a faint smile
playing on his lips.
"Don't you recognize me?" he asked mellowly, his voice reminding her of the cello.
Her heart started racing.
Sophia knew he was handsome but looked more charming than three years ago.
"We met last night. How can you forget me? Do you need me to help you ring the bell?"
His heated breath stuttered across her neck, stiffening her body.
With a lethal smile, he added, "It's been a long while. I didn't expect your sensitive spot was still there."
Sophia returned to her senses, struggling to break free.
However, she wasn't as physically strong as him and failed.
"What on earth do you want?" Sophia glared at him in irritation.
