"Excuse me! I need to answer the phone. Please continue playing, " Sophia stood up with her phone in her hand. Her face was still pale.
Hugh raised his head and told her, "There is a lounge inside. You can answer the call there."
Sophia saw the door he was pointing at and nodded. "Okay, " she said and started moving towards the lounge.
The waiter, seeing her walk towards the lounge, hastily opened the door. Sophia thanked him and closed the door behind her.
Inside the lounge
Sophia hung up. She sank into the sofa, feeling tired.
She kept thinking about Herring"s words. "So Colin knew that the woman on the video was not me and that I didn"t have any affair.
But still, he hasn"t contacted me even once since I left three years ago.
... What does this mean?
It only means that he doesn"t love me anymore.
He really doesn"t love me anymore..."
It took Sophia a lot of time to accept the reality.
She tried hard to keep the tears back. Gradually she calmed down and called Aaron back.
"Sophia, were you busy?"
Sophia lightly answered, "No. I had to deal with another thing just now. What"s the matter, Aaron?"
"Sophia, I will soon be back home!" Aaron said with confidence. His voice was filled with excitement.
Sophia froze for an instant. She was happy that Aaron would be back.
She smiled and said, "That"s great, Aaron. What"s the plan?"
"I"ll replace Grit as the secretary general of the SL Group, " he replied exhilarated.
Ah! Sophia was amazed. "But Aaron, you have no experience of working as a secretary general. How will you justify your selection and would you be able to do the job well?"
She didn"t look down on her own brother, but she had worked as a secretary in the SL Group, and knew that the role was very demanding. Therefore, the requirements from a secretary general would be stricter and tougher.
"Sophia, I worked as the driver for the company leader in Britain. And a year later, in the summer vacation, I concurrently served as his secretary. So I do have some experience of this role, " he explained. Aaron had been as amazed and worried as his sister when Colin had first offered him this job.
But Colin had decided an
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with s.e.x. To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him. "As long as I"m alive, I"m still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses.”She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women...
game, don"t blame me."
Hearing her words, Hugh smiled and ran his fingers through her long hair. "I believe in you, Sophia, " said he.
... His words seemed to have deeper meaning.
Herring stopped talking with Sh.e.l.ly, coughed and said, "Don"t worry, Little Sophia! We will go easy on you."
Sophia raised her eyebrows and said, "Thanks. Mr. Huo!"
Herring looked at Sophia unhappily and said, "Why do you call me Mr. Huo? I allow you to call me by my first name. What do you think?"
Sophia curled her lips, looked at Sh.e.l.ly with a smile and said, "No, Mr. Huo! Sister Sh.e.l.ly, you may ask him to go down on his kneels as a punishment once you"re home!"
Sophia had divorced Colin. But if one counted by years, she could call Sh.e.l.ly sister, because she was older than her.
"Sophia! How could you be so nice to him. Kneeling on the ground isn"t enough for him! He should kneel on durian, " Sh.e.l.ly intentionally joked.
Hearing his wife speak like that, Herring loudly protested, "Shel, I"m your husband! Please stop."
Sophia and June couldn"t help laughing. The atmosphere had relaxed quite a bit.
Hugh stared at Sophia"s face. He hadn"t seen her laugh so happily for a long time.
What Colin saw was Sophia happily laughing and Hugh staring at her. Suddenly, Colin"s face became dark with anger.
He interrupted in a deep voice, "Do we play or not?"
... His sullen look confused everyone. "What"s wrong with him?" they collectively thought.
