While walking to the corner of the residential area, Sophia Lo heard a car come up behind her. She instinctively knew that it was Colin"s car. But she did not stop to look back. Instead, she climbed onto the pavement, and walked faster.
Two minutes later, a Porsche screeched to a stop in front of her, completely blocking her way. Colin!
"Get in the car!"
Sophia Lo ignored him, and decided to go around.
Colin spoke again. "If you don"t get in the car, you will be considered absent. If you get in, I can tell the attendance department that you were out working with me at noon."
Sophia Lo "..."
She tried to open the rear door but couldn"t...
"Come and sit in front!" Colin unlocked the front pa.s.senger door.
Sophia Lo had to listen to him. She slid into the car seat obediently.
The car slowly drove out of the residential area, and then picked up speed on the main road.
"Tell me who hit you in the face!"
"Me!" Sophia thought he was questioning what happened last night, so she answered without thinking.
Colin looked at her curiously. "I"m talking about your face!"
The redness on Sophia"s face had subsided quite a bit once she had applied ice. She had hoped to cover the rest with a layer of powder.
"It doesn"t matter who hit me. What does matter is that I was refused leave despite being injured. Isn"t it the result you wanted to see? You want me to give up, leave SL, and then you."
Colin tightened his grip on the steering wheel, and asked, "Do you really believe in your heart that I organized all this, including the person that hit you, and manager Chu?"
She sat in silence.
It was hard to say.
Silence filled the car. After a while, she began to talk. "Miss Chiao is beautiful, and trusted by you. Will you be willing to punish her?"
Trusted by him? Why didn"t he know it?
He intended to explain, but the hurt reflecting on her face stopped him.
Perhaps, more personal challenges would make her retreat, and leave the place that didn
When her boyfriend betrayed her, all light and joy was gone from Cherry’s life. Deserted, bereft of hope, she married a man that she had barely met, but she had never expected him to be her ex-boyfriend’s uncle.
Cherry thought that she had finally found her happiness, but she had no idea about the dark secrets that were bound to unfold and haunt her forever...
ry you. Would you like that?" Payne crouched in front of Sophia while making this affectionate proposal to her.
Sophia looked at him cynically. "Are you stupid? You told Colin that I was an easy girl. However, he knew exactly what I was. Do you think that he will let you go if you hit on his wife?"
She said these words to scare Payne. Colin already believed that she was easy, and that she had slept with her ex-boyfriend.
Moreover, Colin would be happy to see Payne chasing her. If not, why did he ask Sophia to meet Payne?
"Did you make love with Colin?" Sophia was speechless.
"He is my husband. So you guess!"
"Sophia Lo, we dated for four years! You only let me kiss you! No permission was allowed for further intimacy. You have been married to Colin only for two months. Or three months? And you made love with him. Shame on you!" Payne seemed very angry, and shot from the hip.
Sophia smiled at him. "Shame on me? What"s wrong with me for wanting to make love with my husband?"
Her words shut him up.
Not wanting to argue with him again, Sophia picked up the contract. "Mr. Tai, this contract will be very profitable to Lien clan. Sign it or not, it"s your choice!"
Payne didn"t take what she said to heart, and stood up. He grabbed her wrist. "Sophia, I will sign the contract if you sleep with me."
