As a secretary to the CEO of SL group, she might not have as much work as the CEO, but still Sophia had a lot to do.
Colin looked at her as she walked towards the sofa with the thin quilt in her arms. So that kiss meant nothing to her?
To make things difficult for her, he went to Sophia and grabbed her hand as she spread the quilt. "Sophia Lo, sleep outside!"
Sophia glared at him, and tugged her hand back, "Mr. Li, why do you have to make things difficult? What sort of man are you?" Colin gritted his teeth. Sophia continued, "Since you are so passionate about getting rid of me, you should think of a way to free us from this marriage without making mom angry."
Colin felt frustrated. If he could figure out a way, he wouldn't be here talking to her.
He turned away. Sophia added, "The Li family helped me. I won't do anything that would make mom unhappy. But if you want to give me a hard time, you have to think about how that would make mom feel."
"Mom! Mom! How close you two are! Since you two love each other so much. Why didn't you just marry my mother? All right? Come here, Sophia Lo!" Colin looked irritated. He grabbed Sophia angrily and pulled her towards his bed.
"...... What are you doing? Colin Li! Let go of me!"
"Let go? Oh, I'll not let go of you, and I'll help fulfill Wendy's wish. I'll give her the grandson she's always wanted, you whore!"
The way Colin talked about Sophia infuriated her.
She raise her right hand and slapped him. The sound of the slap reverberated off the walls. Silence engulfed the room.
Colin slowly loosened his hold on her left. His gaze became cruel and cold. For the first time, Sophia saw how angry and horrifying Colin could be.
Sophia took a deep breath to regain her courage, "How dare you call me a whore! You deserve it!"
"Very well." Colin's face turned expressionless. He turned and went towards the bathroom.
When he left the room, Sophia found that she could breath again.
When she lay down on the sofa, she wondered who told Colin that she was a whore?
Was it... Was it Payne? He had come to the company the other day.
She remembered the triumphant look Payne had given her as he left.
But that didn't make sense. She had never slept with Payne. So why he would say that?
She rubbed her sore temples. She shouldn't have told Payne that she was married during the contract signing, nor should she have torn up the contract between Lien's and the SL group.
She was too impulsive. But she couldn't help it. It had given her so much pleasure to see Payne's expression change.
Earlier, Payne had offered to make her his mistress. Angry with him, Sophia had torn the contract.
However, her actions didn't solve anything. She would have to meet Payne and discuss the contract again the following night. Alas!
Sophia and Colin didn't speak with each other for the rest of the night.
When Sophia awoke the next morning, she was alone in the room.
She looked at the time and quickly got up. She hid the thin quilt before washing up in the bathroom.
Downstairs, Colin and Wendy were having breakfast. The servant saw Sophia and left to bring her breakfast.
"Mom." Sophia greeted Wendy softly.
Wendy noticed Colin's bad mood, but he had said nothing when she asked him about it. After Colin left the house without saying a word, she pulled Sophia close, and asked.
"Sophia, have you and Colin quarreled with each other?" Wendy thought back to the night before and didn't remember hearing them quarrel.
Sophia blushed in embarrassment. How could she tell Wendy that she had slapped Colin?
Wendy noticed her reaction, but interpreted it as Sophia's embarrassment over the quarrel.
She thought the two must have wanted to keep their quarrel private.
With that thought, Wendy let go of Sophia's hand, "You should leave for work now. Remember to come home for lunch!"
