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 bitch. 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, "Nobody 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 anticipated 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 herself up."
Her excuse made both Sophia and Colin laugh.
The man put his hands in the pockets. "Is there anything wrong with Miss Lo seducing her own husband?"
Jamie was slow. "Yes, she tried to seduce someone else's husband."
Sophia looked at Colin in astonishment. What did he say? Did he want to make it public? No...
"Mr. Li, you have a client to meet soon." Sophia pulled Colin's sleeve and wanted to take him away.
Colin took her hand and shoved the ring in front of Jamie's face. "Yes, I bought it for Sophia. I'm Sophia's husband."
Everyone was speechless.
His words were like a bomb to everyone's ears, leaving behind a deafening silence.
The entire lobby of the company was quiet. Everyone was in shock for a long time.
What did Mr. Li say?
Sophia's husband was Colin Li. The CEO?
Sophia stared at Colin ridiculously beside him. In that moment, she saw Colin as a handsome and heroic man.
She was moved by his actions and her eyes became wet with tears.
Standing still with her mouth wide open, Jamie was unable to say a word.
"Sophia likes to keep a low profile and doesn't want to cause any trouble. But some people keep causing trouble over and over again. Mr. Ji, sort out this mess. Give me a satisfactory report on everyone who wants to cause trouble at the company."
"Yes, Mr. Li."
Ignoring everyone's shock, Colin put his arm around Sophia's shoulders and walked to the elevator.
