Sophia shook her head blankly. "No."
Colin berated her, "You"re so careless!"
Feeling wronged, she burst out, "You"re the one who suddenly closed the door and hit my tray!"
"Are you blaming me?"
Sophia nodded in response. "Yes!"
Colin was speechless. He threw a cold look at her. "Should I apologize to you?"
"No! You don"t have to. But please don"t kick me out." Sophia looked at him hopefully.
Colin turned away and said, "You don"t need to do this for me."
There were servants in the house. She didn"t need to do it and tire herself out.
But Sophia misunderstood him, and thought Colin didn"t like the food she prepared. Depressed and silent, she crouched down and picked up the bowl and spoon from the floor. They didn"t break because of the carpet.
Getting cleaning tools from downstairs, Sophia swept the mess on the floor.
She replaced the dirty carpet with a new one.
After changing his clothes, Colin went out and saw Sophia cleaning up and stopped her immediately. "Let Ms. Qin do that!"
Ms. Qin was currently in charge of cleaning up the villa.
"No, I can do it. I"ve put a new carpet on the floor and I"ll wash the dirty one."
Colin threw her a glance and said lightly, "You"re not good at it."
...
When Ms. Qin was asked to clean up, Sophia went downstairs to wash the dishes. She had cooked the last few sweet dumplings for Colin and had nothing left to eat now.
After finishing up in the kitchen, Sophia washed her hands and went back to her bedroom.
She closed the door and threw herself on the bed wearily. Then she got a message from Hugh on WeChat, "Are you happy?"
Sophia held her cell phone, contemplating how to answer him.
Was she happy? She didn"t know the answer either.
To rea.s.sure Hugh and prevent him from worrying, Sophia replied, "I"m very happy. You should be happy too!"
When Sophia was about to fall asleep, Hugh replied after a long time, "I"ll be happy if you"re happy."
... Realization dawned on Sophia.
She had forgotten that Hugh was in love with her. But she didn"t know how he
“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!"
hia decided to thank him in her own way. Ignoring the puzzled look in Colin"s eyes, she moved closer, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him.
Colin was shocked at Sophia"s sudden kiss. Then he got very angry.
He pushed her away, "Sophia, what do you want this time?"
Sophia took it in stride and smiled. "Mr. Li, please enjoy your lunch!"
"I"ll eat it later." he replied coolly.
Sophia opened his lunch box for him and couldn"t help swallowing when she saw the delicious food inside.
She handed the chopsticks to Colin but he refused. "You can leave now."
Sophia reluctantly obeyed. Putting down the chopsticks, she took the other cup of coffee, and started to exit the office.
"Wait, " Colin stopped her.
Sophia looked back in confusion.
"Accompany me tonight to the Shining Technology Company dinner meeting." There was a flash of emotion in his eyes, but Sophia failed to catch it.
She didn"t know why he asked her to accompany him, but she nodded her head without asking further. "Okay."
When she left Colin"s office, Sophia pa.s.sed by Jamie, who had just come back from lunch. They didn"t speak to each other.
Jamie stared at her back. She must"ve been trying to seduce the CEO in his office just now.
Jamie knew that the famous star Leila was the CEO"s wife. She would take the chance to tell on Sophia when Leila came to the office.
