Cosset You Forever novel Chapter 1167

The sunlight poured into the room. It enveloped Colin in a warm, golden light.

Some people just hit the genetic jackpot. Colin, eldest son of the Li family, was one of them.

He was handsome, charming and excellent at almost anything he did. There wasn't a woman who wouldn't want him.

......

Sophia was the complete opposite. In her mind, she was the most common, ordinary woman in the world. If one day she suddenly disappeared, she doubted anyone would even notice.

Colin looked at her. With no other place to possibly fix her gaze, Sophia Lo dumbly looked met his gaze. Their eyes met. Sophia quickly reorganized her thoughts. "Mr. Li, what can I do for you?"

"First, you can close the door."

Sophia turned obediently and closed the door. She stood to the side of it waiting for Colin.

"Tell me everything what happened with Quincy. The last time you asked for leave. Don't spare me any detail." Colin sat on a couch with his legs elegantly crossed in front of him.

The were a perceptible change in Sophia's eyes. "Do you believe me?" She said suspiciously.

If she told Colin about Quincy's advances, would he instead think that she had tried to seduce him? After all, in his eyes she was just some dumb, floozy woman.

"Of course I'll believe you!" Colin noted in a trustworthy way..

Sophia reflect over the matter briefly, and decided to tell him everything that had happened on that day.

When she got to the part about Quincy touching her hand, a darkness seemed to grow in Colin's eyes. Did he take her for a liar?

Sophia looked straight into Colin's eyes. "Mr. Li, I have no idea what you're after, but I have told you the truth. I swear it!"

Colin left the couch and walked over to her. He raised her hand and asked in an indifferent tone, "which hand did he touch?"

Sophia suddenly feared that he might now believe her. She raised her hand before him, "my left hand."

What Colin did next surprised Sophia. He lowered his head and kissed the back of her hand.

"I know."

"You know what?" "And after that?" "…Nothing else happened."

Sophia was confused, and looked at the man holding her hand curiously. What did he really want?

"A senior meeting will be held today. You will come with me". Colin released her hand, and put his own hands inside his pockets, looking at her.

The Sophia that was standing before him now seemed change. A far cry from what she used to be.

Back then, her skin had been coarse and black from years in prison.

But now, she was an undeniable beauty. Her beauty was almost shocking at times. Especially at the party the night before.

Even now, with only light make-up, she appeared much more beautiful and charming than he ever recalled.

"Why me?" "I need someone to copy the company's regulations document." Wasn't Secretary Tao set to attend that meeting with Colin?

After a few moments, Colin suddenly spoke up, "During the meeting, punishments for Quincy will be announced. Your testimony against him might be necessary."

Sophia wasn't sure how to respond.

After trying to sugarcoat the whole encounter, she felt that turning around and accusing Quincy seemed overly cruel.

However, her feelings seemed of no importance to Colin. Quincy had only her hand after all, her reputation had remained in tact. Why did she have to be the bad guy?

Sophia gave no indication of agreement or disagreement, "What is going to happened to Quincy?"

"You aren't the only person in the company Quincy hurt. He will be fired, surely. The final decision is up to the senior management though." "As for private charges made against him. That's his own problem."
