Jamie wondered why Sophia kept working at the company even after the CEO had humiliated her.
Taking advantage of the situation, Jamie said smugly, "Sophia, you b.i.t.c.h. If I were you, I would pack up my stuff and leave the company."
"Then leave now." A cold voice came from behind.
Everyone was very familiar with the voice. It was Colin. People started moving to escape in fear of being punished when Colin barked, "n.o.body is allowed to leave!"
About 30 people were gathering at the lobby. Everyone lowered their heads and cursed their bad luck.
Colin walked to the middle of the crowed where Sophia stood. Wade followed close by.
Jamie stammered nervously, "Mr. Li, it"s Miss Lo. She"s married, but..."
Colin looked at her coldly and continued, "But what? She"s been seducing me?"
"Yes... Look at the diamond ring on her hand. It"s from... It"s from her husband!" Jamie was white as a sheet. Didn"t the CEO go out to see clients? Why did he come back so early?
Colin ignored Jamie and looked at the pale-faced Sophia. "You look pale. Are you frightened?"
His cold voice changed into a gentle tone when he spoke to Sophia, stunning everyone present.
Sophia shook her head lightly. "Mr. Li, I"m sorry to have troubled you. Please punish me as you see fit!"
"Give me your phone." Colin ignored her self-recrimination.
Although Sophia was puzzled, she gave her phone to Colin. Everyone held their breath as they antic.i.p.ated what would happen next.
The page on the phone was still the controversial post. Colin took a look at the photos and smiled.
Retuning the phone to Sophia, Colin lifted her left hand with the diamond ring and asked Jamie, "Miss Chiao, are you talking about this ring?"
Jamie nervously nodded her head in doubt.
"Why did you blur the photos?" Colin asked her again.
"Mr. Li, I"m sorry. I..." Jamie was too frightened to speak coherently. Getting an idea, she pointed to Sophia eagerly. "It"s Miss Lo! She asked me to take the photos. She said she wanted to hype
“Do you still want to run away after what happened last night?”
Their relationship changes overnight. She tries to keep her distance from him, while he comes closer and closer.
Spoiling her, he gives her everything she desires. His only wish is to keep her around. The whole world is envious of what she has.
“Never rush in a relationship,” she says calmly.
ched his coat tightly. "No, I"m not sick. It"s just... It"s my period."
The man was puzzled. "Period?"
Flushing in embarra.s.sment, Sophia explained it quickly. Colin was relieved. It wasn"t as serious as he had feared, and put her back on the bed.
"Get some rest!" Tucking her in, he left the lounge.
The pain made Sophia toss and turn on on the bed.
Twenty minutes later, Colin opened the lounge door to find his pale wife rolling on the bed and clutching her stomach.
Colin strode to the bed and put down the soup he was holding. He gathered Sophia carefully in arms. "Sophia, I"ll take you to the doctor!"
"It"s no use." The doctor would have no idea how to cure this kind of pain.
Colin had consulted his private doctor. Apparently, Western medicine couldn"t cure menstrual cramps quickly, but an experienced traditional Chinese medicine pract.i.tioner might be able to help.
He embraced her more tightly. "Sophia, what can I do to help you?"
Colin wanted to take her to the hospital.
"Sophia, what can I do to relieve your pain?" he thought to himself helplessly.
Her eyes filled with happy tears. It had been a long time since anyone cared about her like that.
She wanted to cry. What could she do?
Sophia buried her face to Colin"s chest. "Colin."
Her tone was light and she seemed like a spoiled child.
