This wasn"t a good sign. After hanging up the call, Flynn immediately asked the a.s.sistant to come in through the inside door. The a.s.sistant came in very quickly and respectfully said, "Mr. Fan."
"Go investigate the relationship between Colin and Sophia!" Flynn blurted out.
The a.s.sistant, though quite confused, nodded and said, "Okay. Mr. Fan!"
After the a.s.sistant left, Flynn played with the lighter in his hand and was lost in thought.
It was June"s birthday and she had asked Sophia to attend her birthday party. With the intention of attending the party, Sophia had packed up her stuff and left work early.
She went to the mall and bought a gift for June. While she was buying her gift, Sophia realized that Dorothy, as Patrick"s sister, would also be at June"s birthday party.
After thinking for a while, she took out her phone and called someone. "I"ve seen that you were selling a popular lipstick. Do you still have that in stock?"
She was talking to a punk she had met in Milan. She had inadvertently saved his life, so they exchanged WeChat accounts and added each other as friends. She could always see what he was selling through his Moments.
However, what he was selling was... dirty.
"Yes, Sophia. Do you want to buy it?"
"Yes. I want to buy one lipstick."
"Okay. Let me know where you are. I can get it over to you right now."
Sophia told him where she was and then hung up. She sat in her car and waited for him to arrive.
Within half an hour, he came and gave the lipstick to her. The packing was pretty.
"Thank you. How much is it? I can transfer the money to you through WeChat."
Claude Zhang, with yellow hair, hastily shook his head and said, "No, Sophia. Don"t mention it. Take this as my gift to you."
Sophia had saved his life, so he didn"t want to charge her for the lipstick. Then he said, "Sophia, don"t open this package. You"ll be influenced even if you just smell it."
"Okay. I get it." Sophia still transferred money to Claude"s account and said, "You should accept the money and buy some delicious food for your grandma."
Sophia and Claude had talked to each other on several occasions after they had become friends on WeChat. That is why Sophia knew that
“Let"s go and register our marriage on your birthday!”
Marrying Daniel should have been her best birthday gift, but everything was ruined the moment when she caught him sleeping with another woman on the day before her birthday.
“He’s going to marry that woman! She... was my best friend!"
" He then said in a soft voice, "If you have time, why don"t you come and visit my family with your brother? I really want to help you, but if I don"t know your situation, how can I do it?" When he said this, he glanced at Colin who was swirling the wine in his gla.s.s.
Joseph really meant what he said. Sophia felt so grateful. "Thank you, Uncle Joseph! I"ll definitely visit you with Aaron some time, " she rea.s.sured him. She had called Sandra and Joseph, aunt and uncle; so it was right to visit them.
"Oh. If you still stand on ceremony, I"ll be very sad, " said Joseph glaring at Sophia. This amused her and Leila to no end.
Leila laughed and said, "Sophia, I"ll be staying in A Country these two days. How about you visit my house with your brother, either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? I"ll ask my mom to cook for you at home."
"Sure, " said Sophia, shrugging her shoulders.
"Well...you young people should talk more. Sophia, you"re a designer. I"ve heard that there are many talented designers in Colin"s family. Maybe you should talk with him about this, " said Joseph patting her shoulder.
Oops. Didn"t Joseph know her relationship with Colin? But, how could he not know? Sophia was confused, but she still nodded and said, "Okay, Uncle Joseph. I know you are busy. You can go first. Goodbye."
Joseph left. Leila wanted to leave arm-in-arm with Sophia, but Sophia suddenly looked at Dorothy and said, "Miss Lien, I want to talk to you in private. May we?"
